I've started this Tagaloa article, and deleted the redirect to Tangaroa, because there's quite a bit of difference between the NZ Maori Tangaroa and the Tangaloa of Samoan mythology. The stories of Tagaloa relate specifically to different creation myths in Samoa, e.g. the creating of Manu'a islands, etc, which differ from NZ Maori versions and names. So this Tagaloa article can apply directly in the context of Samoan culture and history. But I've still got the See Also to other versions of Tagaloa in Polynesia.
