Norfolk kaka → Norfolk kākā – Not an expert here, so thought I'd seek community input on this. Move to macron version as per move discussion at kākā (6 October) and Wikipedia's naming conventions for New Zealand. AFreshStart (talk) 20:44, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

• Comment Would probably be uncontroversial to just go ahead and move it. --Spekkios (talk) 22:31, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
• Support given kaka's move Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:24, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
• Leaning oppose. Are there any sources that include the macrons? Norfolk Island isn't part of New Zealand, and wasn't occupied by the Maori (or anybody else) at the time Europeans arrived. "Norfolk" isn't a Maori word. I don't see how the New Zealand naming conventions apply in this case. Plantdrew (talk) 17:22, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
• Support While the Norfolk kākā isn't a species from New Zealand, it's ultimately part of the kākā family with a name derived from the Māori word, and should have macrons consistent with both the primary Kākā and the Chatham Islands species Turnagra (talk) 05:35, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
