Names of languages in Maori are created by adding te reo "the language" to the name of a people or country. So this just means "the Maori language". I think we've deleted similar entries in other languages before? —CodeCat 20:10, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
- If that's the precedent, then yes. However, it's a common phrase in NZ English, in which it is perhaps non-SoP? Here are some cites [1]. Note entries 1, 5 & 6 in particular. Furius (talk) 12:39, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
- That would make it keepable as an English term, not as a Maori one. —Angr 19:56, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, yes. That was what I had in mind. Furius (talk) 07:47, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

- We've tried to delete similar entries before (e.g. in Russian), but it hasn't always happened. [[Türk dili]] was RFDed but passed due to COALMINE. The RFD on русский язык et al. is still open, with (by my count) two users favouring deletion and one favouring keeping. - -sche (discuss) 18:44, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Kept. No consensus to delete. bd2412 T 15:39, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
