The content in this article was moved from Christchurch
[edit]For any future travellers, the content of this article was taken from the article for the city of Christchurch. The history section was around 35% of the total article and consensus was reached that this was too much. We decided to split it out to a dedicated article, and this is that.

- Withdrawn as the content isn't new enough. David Palmer//cloventt (talk) 18:34, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- That wasn’t a good idea. It’s not new content and as such, it’s not eligible. You should withdraw the nomination by stating that on the nom page. Schwede66 13:01, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- Done, thanks. I thought it might qualify as a new article. David Palmer//cloventt (talk) 19:41, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
