The result was keep. I shall apply the Wikipedia:Snowball clause; the nominator obviously has this very wrong and their talk page is littered with notices that show a problem with understanding notability. Schwede 66 09:45, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article really important? SB Shuvo 20:00, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Are you kidding? Have you read WP:NOTABILITY? John Moorfield was a professor of Māori language. He created the Māori–English dictionary. The page has been reviewed by Snickers2686 (talk · contribs) - ask them. Tayste (edits) 20:24, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep - Clearly passes WP:NACADEMIC both from 1, The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline and 2, The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level. The page is getting built so I'm sure more will be added soon but no reason for the deletion. NZFC^(talk) 21:31, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per WP:NACADEMIC point 1, as given by NZFC above. Not sure if the QSO is sufficient for point 2.-gadfium 23:00, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per above. Notable, highly regarded academic who passes the notability requirements for such. Grutness...wha? 00:00, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep definitely meets GNG, received academic awards and honours and made significant contributions to his field. MurielMary (talk) 06:18, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Easily passes notability requirements, and has been rated mid-importance on both WikiProject New Zealand and by the Māori task force. Paora (talk) 08:54, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
