The result was keep. The sourcing provided by user User:Paora. I'm sure there is also some non-digital coverage, too, based around the time when the suburb was developed. That works for WP:GNG for me.

Thanks everyone for participating. Unhappy with this decision? If one wishes to renominate this article with another policy-based rationale, they are able to do so. I will defer to other administrators to review it. I will not re-review my decision. Happy holidays. Missvain (talk) 00:17, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion from lack of notability. This is not a suburb as defined by Hutt City Council and it is unclear why this area, a section of Taitā, is notable enough for a separate article, especially when the article has no references or sources.

  • Keep Listed by LINZ as a suburb. Schwede66 19:07, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • This source shows that the place exists, but not that it is notable, as it only provides very brief coverage, rather than "substantial" coverage which is the test. Merely existing isn't enough for an article. HenryCrun15 (talk) 00:48, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Schwede66, that link provided is for a different 'Pomare' that is in Rotorua near Auckland. The 'Pomare' that we are talking about here is in Lower Hutt, Wellington. 0800cpc (talk) , 4 December 2021 (UTC)
  • Thanks, 0800cpc, for pointing out my error; I've struck the incorrect link. Please add new comments at the bottom of a talk page / discussion to keep things in chronological order. I'll stick with the keep vote! either way; Paora has posted some useful links. Schwede66 18:50, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. A quick search shows Radio NZ ([1], [2], [3]), Stuff (Dominion Post) ([4], [5]), and the New Zealand Herald ([6], [[7]), all regard Pomare as a suburb of Lower Hutt. There has been substantial coverage of gang problems in and Housing New Zealand redevelopment of the suburb. Paora (talk) 08:56, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Listed by LINZ as a 'place', this link is the correct one, Schwede66's link is for a different 'Pomare' near Auckland. 0800cpc , 4 December 2021 (UTC)
  • Keep Has an interesting story, would be great to have it expanded. Somej (talk) 09:52, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Further discussion, particularly with regard to GEOLAND and the effaciousness of the sources indicated by Paora would be beneficial
