So, you have one person advocating mass removal of content and one person saying, "no way, Jose!" I am generally against large scale removal of content, especially when it is unilateral.

However, I am proposing an article that significantly expands our encyclopedic view of Westpac NZ, allowing us to place it in the context of the New Zealand banking sector and economy, which is not possible within the current Australian centric Westpac article. There is a wealth of independent and notable source material available for a separate article. <a href="/wiki/User:Duncnbiscuit" title="User:Duncnbiscuit">Duncnbiscuit</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Duncnbiscuit" title="User talk:Duncnbiscuit">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Westpac#c-Duncnbiscuit-20230618122400-Spekkios-20230618041500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:24, 18 June 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Duncnbiscuit-20230618122400-Spekkios-20230618041500"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Duncnbiscuit-20230618122400-Spekkios-20230618041500"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Spekkios-20230619080300-Duncnbiscuit-20230618122400"></span>I agree with that.
