  • Delete Not listed in Christchurch,_New_Zealand#List_of_Christchurch_suburbs -- RHaworth 19:11, 2005 Jan 26 (UTC)
  • Keep. Definitely exists, there are other articles about suburbs of significant world cities although Christchurch may be on the small side. Google searches show many refs to Waltham. Wants expansion and might want renaming, though. Dbiv 19:18, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Suburbs of major cities are notable and encyclopedic.--Centauri 21:50, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Heavy sigh. If only this was categorised properly, someone would have made it into a proper article before now. It should have been in the category with Christchurch's other suburbs (Category: Christchurch urban districts). I've improved it a little. (As for the naming, there is a generally held convention in New Zealand that all town names and most (but not all) suburb names are unique within the country - thus all other suburbs are currently simply listed as "X" or "X, New Zealand" unless there are clashes).

    • That's being a bit harsh, isn't it? The complete text of the original stated 'Waltham is a suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand.', and it wasn't mentioned on the Christchurch article at the time. The VfD process has actually turned this article into a good one. The original nominator should have done a quick google as well, but I can see why they originally thought this wasn't worth having from the one line article.
