editI don't think "Doctors" is the correct title for this list. Strictly speaking, many of the specialists are not "doctors", and some, although doctors at some point, are notable for work in health administration. Would List of New Zeland medical practitioners be too clumsy? (I don't think the words "specialists" or "professionals" are all-encompassing enough either. Or how about List of New Zealanders notable in medicine? dramatic (talk) 09:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- I wasn't sure what to name it when I split it from the List of New Zealanders section "Science & Medicine". I thought that section was too general, but there is an overlap with medical research. There are also people involved with healthcare who are not doctors. I chose the current title because it fits neatly in with the existing categories Category:New Zealand doctors and Category:Physicians by nationality. There are no categories of Category:New Zealand healthcare workers, Category:Healthcare workers, Category:New Zealand medical practitioners etc.-gadfium 09:36, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
