[edit] Rename to Hot springs of New Zealand
I think this article (Waiariki) should be renamed Hot springs of New Zealand, as per WP:NAME: "... article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize ...". Any comments? -- Avenue 03:21, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

- Personally I would prefer that a separate page called Hot springs of New Zealand was made, and i may do that soon, but I would like to leave the existing page to be focussed back on it's central meaning; healing hot springs. I think that there is more than enough material for both, i just wanted to get my info here as quick as I could. but as usual i am guided by the comments here, i suspect that there isnt much interest in this yet. I have a bunch mor epics and info to addd to a hot springs article, just challenged for time, moza 05:54, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- Your understanding of the original topic wasn't clear to me from the article. For instance, the Uses section lists therapy as only one of eight possible uses. Also when I look up waiariki on various Maori-English dictionaries, they say it means "hot spring", "mineral spring", or just "spring". I haven't found one yet that confines the meaning to healing hot springs.
- But if you do want to restrict this article to that topic, I would suggest renaming it to Therapeutic hot springs of New Zealand or something similar, as per WP:NAME. -- Avenue 13:08, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- I am not going to be precious about this at all. I really havent checked it out, just didnt want to tread on the original authors toes. thanks for looking it up and reporting back, I am happy with that. If we need a separtae article it can be made again later so feel free to do what you think is best.moza 12:35, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

- Just found this article while searching through hot springs. I was tracking through the article - Hot springs around the world - which has no New Zealand springs in it at all. so I thought I'd do some major adding in there. I could also create a master article Hot Springs in New Zealand and put more details in there. Are there any further thoughts on renaming this article? - Malathos 19:44, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
