What do we want to count?

Having done a manual check of the coast through the topo map, I'm now checking the gazetteer and have noticed that there are a lot more places which use the name "lagoon" but might be stretching the definition, or conversely other places which are described as lagoons in some sources but have a different name. There are also the various hapua that often don't have their own name but still constitute a lagoon. So I guess the question is, what do we want to include in this list and what should we leave out? Examples of lagoons that aren't coastal on the list include:

Any thoughts on these (and others in their situation), as well as the unnamed hapua on river mouths or the line between a lagoon and an estuary / harbour would be much appreciated (do we count the Avon Heathcote Estuary as a lagoon?) Turnagra (talk) 07:55, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Waimehu Lagoon adn Waimanu Lagoons

I've added Waimehu Lagoon but have been having trouble with it because it has some relation to the "Waimanu Lagoons". [This source https://www.kapiticoast.govt.nz/media/iqdmxbe5/waimanu-lagoons-management-plan-2000.pdf] says Waimanu Lagoons (which includes the nearby Waimeha Lagoon and the vestige of the former Waimeha Stream). I'm not sure if this article should say "Waimanu Lagoons" or what. ―Panamitsu (talk) 07:45, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I should also note that LINZ recognises a Waimeha Lagoon but no Waimanu Lagoon(s). ―Panamitsu (talk) 07:46, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
