~~Week delete~~: I can't readily find a few good sources that goes into any details about Danish immigrants to New Zealand. Perhaps it could be sourced if someone would put an effort into it? Right now it looks more like a List of Danish New Zealanders which could be ok per per WP:LISTOUTCOMES pursuant to the guideline on categories, lists, and navigation templates with emphasis on WP:NOTDUP. I'm willing to change my !vote if there are editors who think we should save the article as such. — Sam Sailor 11:24, 14 February 2017 (UTC) (Struck vote, changing to keep, see below. — Sam Sailor 17:46, 24 February 2017 (UTC))[reply]

@Sam Sailor I have begun to add more information to the article. I believe we should keep the article since there are many Danes who have contributed to New Zealand and their history dates back to when Abel Tasman sailed to New Zealand where a man from Copenhagen was part of the crew Source.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Kurykh (talk) 02:52, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've added more content and together with Dash9Z's work, the article now demonstrates that GNG is met. I invite Sam Sailor to have another look, given that he has previously voiced an opinion here. Should the community not back that this article be kept, the content should be merged with Scandinavian New Zealanders (which should also have happened with the Swedish New Zealanders article – never mind), as the history of all the Scandinavians in New Zealand is heavily intertwined.

@Schwede66: On Icelandic New Zealanders I was bold and redirected the article to Scandinavian New Zealanders. I agree completely with your argument (and Dash9Z's), thus I didn't need to repeat it in my support. J 947 03:02, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The Danes have contributed to New Zealand history and society. A Danish man was part of Abel Tasman's crew during his voyage to New Zealand. A former Prime Minister of Denmark, Ditlev Gothard Monrad, emigrated to New Zealand and helped establish the New Zealand Company which brought Danish immigrants to New Zealand. The article has improved with Schwede66's and my work on it. Dash9Z (talk) 18:57, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Dash9Z and Schwede66's work on it has proven notability. As Schwede has said above a redirect and merge would be appropriate if the article is not kept. J 947 03:02, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Thanks for the work on the article, and thanks for the ping, Dash9Z and Schwede66; it has given me an opportunity to do my homework more diligently. I have added a few sources, and I have added a Further reading section with two works that are either dedicated exclusively or partially to Danish immigration to NZ, both written by Danish historians who have individual BLPs on dawiki:
Peter Birkelund [in Danish] (1987). Dansk udvandring til Australien og New Zealand - med særlig henblik på det 20. århundrede [Danish emigration to Australia and New Zealand - with special emphasis on the 20th century] (in Danish).

Henning Bender [in Danish] (1990). Danish Emigration to New Zealand. Aalborg University (Danes Worldwide Archives). ISBN 978-87-982912-3-7.

The subject is covered in reliable sources, and WP:GNG is met. — Sam Sailor 17:46, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
