  • List of songs by New Zealand artists that reached number-one on the Hot 100 (USA)
  • Kimbra and Lorde are the only Kiwis to gain the hotspot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, besides OMC's How Bizarre reached No.1 on the U.S. Mainstream Top 40 in 1997.
  • Crowded House reached the Billboard Hot 100 at least twice, but not no.1 – FWIW, Gin Wigmore, Flight of the Conchords, and The Naked and Famous have also appeared on the Top 200, but not Hot 100. Perhaps a list of kiwi artists who have reached the Billboard Top 200 or Hot 100 might be more sensible?
  • The articles [https://www.audioculture.co.nz/articles/nz-acts-in-the-us-charts-1-the-road-to-how-bizarre NZ Acts in the US Charts 1: the road to How Bizarre] and [https://www.audioculture.co.nz/articles/nz-acts-in-the-us-charts-2-lorde-and-beyond NZ Acts in the US Charts 2: Lorde and beyond] lists various NZers who had US charting songs.

:*Can I suggest that you move this to draft space now, {{u|ATMmachinePC }}? It's always best to work in draft space because if someone else starts an article on the same topic (be that in article space or in draft space), they get to see that there's already something in draft space. They won't get notified of a draft in user space, though. Schwede66 21:36, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

  • Ron Brierley getting possibly stripped of his knighthood brings the other two New Zealanders back into prominence who have previously been stripped of their honours; both of them were politicians:

:*Dr {{Q|Q106311198}}, deputy mayor of Christchurch (1989–1998); OBE in 1977 and revoked in 2000 over sexual offending

:*{{Q|Q106310597}} (Hugh Hamilton (mayor)), mayor of Central Hawke's Bay (1989–1995), MNZM in 1997 and revoked in 2018 over financial fraud

=Chairpersons of district health boards=

I've written an article listing chairpersons of district health boards and found that there are (or have been) 81 of them. Of those, 13 have an article on the English Wikipedia. I've had a look at each of the remaining, created Wikidata entries for the lot, and uploaded photos to Commons where those are available (which is quite a few of them as many end up with a gong and the governor-general makes investiture photos available with a free licence). Based on a quick assessment I conclude that 33 of them are possibly not notable, but 35 of them are notable. Here's a list of those who should meet the notability threshold. MurielMary, 12 of those 35 are women. Schwede 66 19:53, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
