Wikipedians/New Zealand
Delete - This list would be better served by Category:Wikipedians in New Zealand. There is some discussion present about still needing it to find NZ admins, but this would be more logically done at WikiProject New Zealand, or by making a request at New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board, which presumably NZ admins would frequent. Lists like these are notoriously out of date, and the category and WP pages should do a much better job. Note that archiving and/or redirecting to one of the above mentioned pages may also be a reasonable consequence of this nomination. --After Midnight 0001 12:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete We have Category:Wikipedians in New Zealand. No need of having this. Also, using a category for this purpose is better than having page serving that purpose.--SJP 20:55, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. A logical solution to the admin problem is to creat a subcategory (surely such a by-country split is a sensible thing to have as a standard thing anyway). After Midnight is right, though - AFAIK all of us kiwi admins are regular visitors to the notice board. Grutness...wha?  00:05, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That would be logical, but such sub-categories including the one suggested were deleted per Categories for deletion/Log/2006 August 21. Keep, for the simple reason there's no real need to delete and there is some value to the community. Are we pressed for server space? Hiding Talk 12:46, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - The above discussion actually only renamed the admin category. Category:New Zealand Wikipedia administrators was deleted as a result of User categories for discussion/Archive/April 2007.  Nevertheless, I still feel that the list of admins is better located at WikiProject New Zealand than at Wikipedians/New Zealand.  It is more intuitive and more standard to other countries.  I am not looking to save space here, but rather trying to eliminate needless redundant information.  Information tends to be much easier to keep up to date when it is in one place.  If the list exists in two places, it must be updated in both, else it drifts from reality. --After Midnight 0001 13:58, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Apologies, I was basing it on the bot's removal of the English admin cat on my user page, it linked to that discussion. Hiding Talk 10:21, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I am sorry. I didn't mean to seem critical, I just wanted to supply that other link as well as the one that you provided.  You have no need to apologize. --After Midnight 0001 04:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Is this the part where I apologise for the fact that my comment made you think you were being critical? :) Hiding Talk 10:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I feel a Budweiser commercial breaking out.... (I love you, man!) (I know, bad pop-culture reference) --After Midnight 0001 15:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Note to closing admin, if the debate stalls out at this small number of participants, then please be advised I am happy to concur with the other participants for argument's sake. I can't see the value in a no consensus close based solely on me.  A redirect would also work, and so far that may be the way the discussion is swinging, but don't let me sway anyone.

 * further comment - if deleted, then using this as a redirect to New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board would make some sense, since that has a list (or at least, a link to one). Grutness...wha?  00:19, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete redundant. Doczilla 08:50, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: should have been deleted a long time ago per user categorisation. Graham 87 15:14, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
