Katiki Point Lighthouse

The article has little to no notability as there are no other independent sources I can find that report on it. It also has only one internal encyclopaedic link. Also note that there are no articles regarding "Katiki Point" or even "Katiki. Reginmund 20:07, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is now, not that that's particularly relevant. Keep. Grutness...wha? 02:03, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I found some sources of info: NZ Gov't Photos and details and More general info Most of the rest of what I found was travel- or photography-related, however. The article clearly needs work, but I find this lighthouse no less notable than most of the rest on Wikipedia. —Travis^talk 22:17, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It is also known as Moeraki or Katigi, so searching on these terms will find additional articles, like Moeraki and Moeraki Boulders on WP plus additional ones via Google.--Mendors 23:36, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Other New Zealand lighthouses have articles, so why have a red link to this one? The article may need work with regards to refs, but it's only 2 days old. Further more, look at Moeraki. It's commonly known as the Moeraki Lighthouse but that's not actually the name bestowed upon it from Maritime NZ --Hayden5650 22:23, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Perusing the links I previously posted will easily clarify the name issue per Hayden5650. I also point out that lack of a WP article is not in itself evidence of non-notability. —Travis ^talk 22:42, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have added additional references to the article, including linking it with some Maori traditions which are covered by some NZ government treaty settlement legislation.--Mendors 23:09, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep In the US, all lighthouses are fairly important as local tourist attractions as well as due to their history, restoration/conservation efforts, etc. Unless there's reason to think the situation is very different in NZ, this should be kept.

Keep. A notable lighthouse and the article is now sourced. --Bduke 00:34, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Sourced article and lighthouse seems notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 01:26, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This lighthouse has been working for 125 years, I wonder if Wikipedia will last so long. It's a good article now and well sourced. Nick mallory 01:46, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Perhaps we could wind up this discussion now? There seems to be an overwhelming majority of editors in favor of keeping the article. --Hayden5650 00:19, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Historic and restored lighthouse. --Oakshade 01:30, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

keep deserves to be kept for above reasons Delighted eyes 03:17, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
keep Other lighthouses in New Zealand are notable, why not this one. Malathos 05:15, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
keep. In addition to the other arguments, this lighthouse's link with Yellow-eyed penguins, and Janice Jones work while living there make this really quite notable.--Limegreen 01:37, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per the above, the current version of this article conveys notability. Burntsauce 17:42, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
