The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

Hinerangi

Maori, rfv-sense: Finland. Definition is not found on Te Aka (where it is a personal name). The personal name sense is widely found on QQ. The "Finland" sense is found on only one self-published book of dubious origin. Te Aka gives Whinarana and Whinirana for "Finland".

The Maori Wikipedia title for Finland is indeed "Hinerangi": https://mi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinerangi but the user who created the page seemingly has only a basic knowledge of Maori. In any case, the "personal name" sense should be mentioned somehow (I don't know how, is it a gender-neutral name or something?) so the page shouldn't be deleted. When this is done, other Wiktionaries containing the page should be corrected too. Mölli-Möllerö (talk) 18:59, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
