My question.
[edit]what forum or place should I talk about this stuff about adventure Time that you deleted and edited out if I can't talk about it here? Should I talk about it on Reddit or a different forum that I can be able to talk about it on or something? Also if you answer this question then I'll decide to finally leave you alone. 2601:243:303:4BF0:115F:DD3F:DE29:FC95 (talk) 21:31, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Try putting '"Adventure Time" forum' into Google, or any other search engine.-Gadfium (talk) 01:56, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Tiakitahuna
[edit]Hi I'd like to create an article for Tiakitahuna but there is so little information about it that I'm not sure if it satisfies WP:NPLACE. I can't find any census information about it and the Gazetteer says that "This name is not official" but does not give any other name. It's on the Māori Wikipedia. Would you consider this to be notable or should I move onto something else? ―Panamitsu (talk) 00:10, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
Māori wikipedia has bot-generated entries, so it counts nothing for notability. English Wikipedia includes it at Kauwhata, and one possibility would be to create a subheading in that article to cover Tiakitahuna. If you do want to make a stand-alone article, you can use the demographics for it below. The demographics are split between SA1 areas 7018207 and 7018209 (and arguably 7018204, but I haven't included that below).-Gadfium (talk) 02:27, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
Tiakitahuna covers 32.54 km2 (12.56 sq mi).[1] It is part of the larger Kauwhata statistical area.[2]

Tiakitahuna had a population of 216 in the 2023 New Zealand census, a decrease of 6 people (−2.7%) since the 2018 census, and a decrease of 9 people (−4.0%) since the 2013 census.

It's not a reliable source, but https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC516KW might give you a few clues. The linz link you gave above links Jackeytown to Tiakitahuna, although you'd have to consult Reed & Dowling Place Names of New Zealand for the exact connection.-Gadfium (talk) 02:39, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
Old Manawatu, or the Wild Days of the West is probably a reliable source, and is mentioned as a source by the geocache entry.-Gadfium (talk) 02:43, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

- No problem. I realise this is part of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 April 13#Countries in fiction, but it might be useful for such notices such as the one above to link to the discussion which resulted in the category being emptied.-Gadfium (talk) 04:21, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
