Strong Keep. I would expect virtually every baby-boomer New Zealander would know the "Tumblin' Down" song, and most of us also "Pinocchio" although I had no idea until just now that they were sung by the same person. I'll make some improvements to the article.-gadfium 21:06, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@gadfium: I am in the very last year of the generation known as the "Baby Boomers", and I am not a New Zealander. I only know from GNG. Yours, Quis separabit? 18:19, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Maria Dallas is a significant artist with the NZ pop music history - omitting her would be senseless. The article is a bit sub-standard and needs more research but she will meet GNG. She would have significant national coverage throughout her singing career in the NZ media NealeFamily (talk) 01:45, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
