Deletion of Tawhai Hill

Comment: per , there is enough relevant information https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GQg4AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA531 in this scientific paper relating to the Nigger Stream/River and its geology etc (I have added a bit to the article

Comment: these geographical features are not independently notable per Schwede66 and Wugapodes above; I do not see that they have enough other notable information to meet  despite its invocation above; their failure to appear in ''Place Names of New Zealand'' is telling. Much of the text in the three articles is repetitive among them, and readers would be better served by having it all in one place. The closer can best determine which of the New Zealand articles already suggested will be the best target

Comment: The LINZ reference in each of the articles establishes notability and the articles meet . The fact that the locations have been renamed because the original names were considered offensive means that the articles can now be more substantial than the stubs they would otherwise have been

Comment: I disagree that these articles meet the GNG per TonyTheTiger and Schwede66. But even if it does meet the GNG, that does not guarantee inclusion as a stand-alone article, and I think the benefits of a merge outweigh the benefits of multiple stubs. The GNG creates a presumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should have a stand-alone article; from the |GNG: {{tqi|"A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that |Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information"}}. These both claim notability due to a single event (a renaming) by decision of a singular group, since the articles provide nothing more than geographic data and two separate discussions of the same renaming, it seems like they are best discussed together in an article that provides the context for the renaming rather than having multiple stubs on geographic locations ostensibly notable only for having their name changed. From : {{tqi|"Sometimes, several related topics, each of them similarly notable, can be collected into a single page, where the relationships between them can be better appreciated than if they were each a separate page...Sometimes, when a subject is notable, but it is unlikely that there ever will be a lot to write about it, editors should weigh the advantages and disadvantages of creating a permanent stub."}} Whether that page they be merged to is New Zealand Geographic Board or Canterbury, New Zealand#Geography, I'm ambivalent, but lean more towards NZ Geographic Board per Schwede66

Comment: as per , it states that named geographical features are notable and are able to have their own pages. Also under , it has sufficient sources for each to confirm notability

Comment: all three to New Zealand Geographic Board. I've had a look which district they are in, but as they fall across two different districts (Hurunui District for Tawhai Hill, and the other two are in Selwyn District), it is indeed the Canterbury Region that is common to those three. That said, in the same process of renaming geographic features, Darkies Creek, Darkies Terrace Track and Darkies Terrace were also renamed, and they are located on the West Coast, New Zealand|West Coast. I can't see it being sensible that the Canterbury and West Coast articles separately discuss the renaming of these geographic features. I therefore suggest that the New Zealand Geographic Board, which managed the renaming process, is the better home for the merged articles, as it can also mention the West Coast Darkies. With regards to , I did check whether the three articles under discussion have an entry in Alexander Wyclif Reed's ''Place Names of New Zealand'' (I have the 2010 revision on my bookshelf), but they aren't in there. This would have supported GNG. Darkies Creek and Darkies Terrace are listed, but they aren't up for discussion here
