Should BNZ still be categorized under state-operated enterprises? Any suggestions?

Good point. Removed. WP 04:14, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First branch: Dunedin or Auckland?[edit]

Intro says it was Dunedin; timeline says it was Auckland. Grimhim (talk) 06:22, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bank of New Zealand → BNZ – I'm pretty sure Bank of New Zealand is solely referred to as BNZ now. Any objections to moving the page? Ballofstring (talk) 07:44, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CONCISE. SSTflyer 13:38, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - per WP:ACRONYMTITLE, we should only do this if the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation. I'm not convinced this is met. Although a lot of usage is just BNZ, there remain plenty of sources that still use the full spelt out "Bank of New Zealand",[1][2][3]. It seems clearer to leave it where it is, this is not such an obvious case as UNESCO or NATO. — Amakuru (talk) 10:07, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Amakuru and no evidence by request move user to support claim(s). CookieMonster755 ^📞 ^✉ ^✓ 00:07, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - The acronym looks ambiguous, if not confusing. Despite being the only known "BNZ", even those knowing what it is would still confuse it with some currency or television network. George Ho (talk) 05:28, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. TLAs are to be strongly avoided. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:36, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
