Talk:List of suburbs of Auckland

message: In a discussion here, Grutness suggested that this article should be renamed: "Suburbs of Auckland would be more in line with the long-standing Suburbs of Dunedin (and with the few similar overseas suburbs articles I've seen)." I agree, so if no one objects in the next day or two I'll move it to Suburbs of Auckland. -- Avenue 13:09, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I did move it, from Auckland Suburbs to Suburbs of Auckland. The latest title (Suburbs of Auckland, New Zealand) seems unnecessarily verbose, but this doesn't worry me enough to bother an admin about changing it back. -- Avenue 09:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just realised I can move it over a trivial redirect myself, so I've done it. -- Avenue 14:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Rename

message: If you are creating new articles on individual suburbs, please use the standard naming guidelines for places in New Zealand, as follows:
#If the place name is unique in the world, simply use "Name" - e.g., Onehunga.
#If the placename is found elsewhere in the world, but is unique in New Zealand, use "Name, New Zealand" - e.g., Mount Wellington, New Zealand. There is nothing wrong with also adding a redirect at "Mount Wellington, Auckland" for ease of navigation).
#If the name is also found elsewhere in New Zealand, use "Name, Region" - e.g., Silverdale, Auckland (all the suburbs on this page are in the Auckland Region). Consider also making a disambiguation page at "Name, New Zealand" in this case (such as the one at Silverdale, New Zealand).
The reason for this is that most people outside New Zealand and many within New Zealand (i.e., most WP readers) may know a place is somewhere in New Zealand but not know whereabouts. This naming makes it easier for them to find specific articles. Grutness...wha? 21:50, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  A note on naming suburb articles 

message: I'm not familiar enough with Auckland to know, but many of the names I'm NOT familiar with in this list sound like the sort of names given to large subdivisions. Is a block of a couple of hundred houses (with no commercial centre) really worthy of being called a suburb? (These ones seem unlikely to ever merit articles). dramatic (talk) 12:15, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not familiar enough with South Auckland and Papakura to really comment on them, but the rest seem reasonable enough to me. I might quibble about a few of the more remote North Shore ones (e.g. how distinct is Waiake from Torbay?), but my knowledge of them is a bit vague too. --Avenue (talk) 14:38, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Really suburbs? 

message: In this edit, an editor created a new section "Pukekohe" and listed a set of .... well, I hesitate to call them suburbs. I put them into 4 columns and in alphabetical order without committing myself on whether they're appropriate. I'd like a discussion as to whether these places can be called suburbs. I'm familiar with only Pukekohe, which I visited on a day trip a year or two ago. It's a bustling little township, but still seems too remote and unconnected from Auckland to be called one of its suburbs, despite being under Auckland Council's jurisdiction.
