Appears to lack notability. I found only one independent reference and it is primary and provides no coverage.

I also nominating the episcopal units:

Keep per WP:DIOCESE, but these are above the level of diocese, sitting between diocese and province. But in fact, there are several independent reliable sources in GBooks, and I don't know how the nominator missed them: e.g. Te Hāhi Mihinare | The Māori Anglican Church (published by Bridget Williams Books).

Keep. Te Pīhopatanga o Aotearoa is the equivalent of an internal ecclesiastical province within the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia and is made up of several diocese equivalents (the other "pihopatangas" nominated), and per WP:DIOCESE these articles are almost always kept. As for sources, StAnselm notes one good source, and there are others: Peter Donovan's The Religions of New Zealanders, Mark Chapman's Anglicanism: A Very Short Introduction (section on indigenous leadership in Anglican churches), Anderson, Binney and Harris's Tangata Whenua, Shawn Strout's Of Thine Own Have We Given Thee, and T. John Wright's "The Treaty of Waitangi" in the International Handbook of the Religious, Moral and Spiritual Dimensions in Education, plus coverage in major news outlets like Stuff.co.nz and the NZ Herald. These ecclesiastical units are also covered in Melton and Baumann's Religions of the World, the standard encyclopedic reference to religious organizations.

Keep as notable — the solution to this is improvement from sources, not deletion. DBD 12:49, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per the reliable sources coverage identified in this discussion that together shows a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 22:01, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep and close per WP:SNOW. Meets WP:GNG. A WP:BEFORE was not done properly.4meter4 (talk) 03:56, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just a note, User:Traumnovelle, this is not a correctly formatted bundled nomination. Next time you want to nominate multiple articles, read over the instructions at WP:AFD and follow them exactly. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:36, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Liz do you mean with the la tag? I did that at first but it broke: [1] Traumnovelle (talk) 04:43, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
