The result was redirect to Party lists in the 2017 New Zealand general election#ACT Party. Clear consensus to remove the article again, but it's not so clear whether a redirect or deletion is appropriate as there are no specific arguments against either course of action (that past redirect attempts have been reverted is grounds for protection, as the editor who observed that noted). The headcount favours deletion but the possibility of future notability, deletion policy and the previous AFD result do not. On balance, this will be a redirect plus full protection, but only because of the deletion policy aspect; otherwise it'd be a heads-tails situation. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk) 10:08, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Fails WP:NPOLITICIAN. Has only political prominence at local level. Is the deputy party leader of the ACT party but has not been a member of Parliament as of yet (and may not even after the 2020 election). This article was redirected then recently recreated without anything to add to it that might otherwise satisfy WP:GNG. Ajf773 ( talk) 08:27, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

- Delete As per previous Afd. No substantive improvement to article. No justification as to why G4 should not apply. DerbyCountyinNZ ( Talk Contribs) 09:06, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
- No, not a G4 as the previous decision wasn't a delete; it was a redirect. Schwede 66 09:11, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect I've had a look at news items and Houlbrooke gets many mentions. But I haven't been able to find a single in-depth piece; everything I looked at (and I've gone through seven pages of Google News results) were routine mentions only. Schwede 66 09:07, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
- This has been redirected a few times already. If it is redirected it should be fully protected from recreation. Else move it to a Wikiproject draft. Ajf773 ( talk) 19:16, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
