Talk:Māori renaissance

message: I always took 'the Maori renaissance' to refer to what went on in the 1920s and 30s under Ngata. --Helenalex 04:18, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Dates?

message: This article could be a useful way to expand on the information in the "Revival" section of the main Maori article. That section should probably be reduced to summary style.. Ropata (talk) 15:20, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I am adding to this article - I feel it needs a more definitive definition at the beginning and a shorter lead. 
The lists of people seems a bit random with no explanation. Why do we think they are here? There are hundreds / dozens of people that could be added to these lists?  
Perhaps it could be 'notable people who contributed to the Māori renaissance in the 60s and 70s' (once the time period of the term has been better defined). Pakoire (talk) 01:47, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I also need to comment on the lists. They are problematic because there is no way that you could define who should be listed here and who does not belong. The next problem is that every entry should be supported by a reference. I suggest to delete these lists and any individual who ought to be mentioned in relation to this topic should be incorporated into the prose. Schwede66 16:23, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: You can see I've been trying to structure that article better and am near the end. I have left everything that was there on the page to get sorted at the end, which should be shortly - there are some useful bits there. That list is totally out of place and I agree should be removed. I had thought of either creating another list of far fewer people who were involved in the renaissance, like a 'notable people' list, or just doing what you say and incorporate some into the article text (Whina Cooper is already there, unintentionally).

thread_title:  lists of people question & in general 

message: user:Aubernas, I suggest you stop[ making large changes to several wiki articles, this one included. Discuss your concerns on the talk page first. This article is in need of a major overhaul, I think that is not in dispute, and I was slowly attempting to re-structure the article. However, you should not remove quality sources as you have just done. Maori dying out? Yes, most definitely they were, or that was the perception a hundred years ago - read the sources. I suggest you could help by finding quality sources and using them. The list of people has to be heavily culled or simply removed IMO. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 19:36, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
