The contents of the University of Waikato Faculty of Law page were merged into University of Waikato on 28 May 2016. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

Text and/or other creative content from this version of Shadow Cabinet of Christopher Luxon was copied or moved into University of Waikato. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Two out of date pieces of information ought to be removed from this section:

• Professor Bradford W. Morse is no longer Dean of Law. Presumably the fact that he once was the Dean lacks notability, so this line ought to be deleted(?)
• The law school photo predates the opening of the current Law Building in 2016 (see my requested edit above (Campuses > Main Hamilton Campus > 2000s) for details about that). The building in the photo - now known as W Block - is no longer home to any of the Law Faculty. (I'd support removal of the image rather than recaptioning).

Decided to do a bit of cleanup, and here is what I found so far that needs attention:

• Add citations for the "History" section to back up each paragraph (WP:REF), at minimum. This is so that the information presented here is verifiable (WP:VERIFY) and does not look like it was written by an unreliable person, due to the nature of Wikipedia being editable by everyone (WP:OR)
• Add citations for the other subsection(s) inside "History" so that those sections are verifiable. (WP:VERIFY)
• "Alumni" section needs a bit of attention in regards to notability (WP:GNG, I think?) and non-advertising tone (WP:PEACOCK, I think?)

There is also a need for sections describing what the uni has done to assist New Zealand by the use of non-primary sources. In that case, even though I know nothing about any outstanding "cool" stuff that the University of Waikato had done, it would be nice to find some independent sources (WP:INDEPENDENT) to back up further notability of University of Waikato. I know Uni of Waikato is pretty notable in itself, but I don't think there are enough external info about Uni of Waikato to feel satisfactory. The article for University of Auckland could be used as a stepping stone for structuring the layout of the University of Waikato article.
