Comment on name

[edit]

Consensus seems to be that the new official double forms of this and other mountain names are not the commonly used names (it definitely seems very strange to non-New Zealanders), but Haminoon says that at least locally "Maungarei" is more often used. That does not seem like a case for the official name to me, but a case for using "Maungarei" as the article title. —innotata 23:24, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

One of the problems with this page is that it covers both the suburb and the maunga. The suburb is only called "Mt Wellington", while the maunga uses both names. Would it be okay to split this into two pages? (although I'm not sure if the suburb is notable enough for a page). Haminoon (talk) 23:29, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Also the case for which name to use for the maunga is tricky because there aren't many written references. My perception is that Maungarei is used more verbally, but an elderly Pakeha may have a different perception. Haminoon (talk) 23:32, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Don't have much to say about the above, but defined geographic localities tend to be notable (WP:GEOLAND). —innotata 00:00, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
