Needs references

This page needs references for its conclusion. Otherwise, it sounds like they were just plucked out of thin air. GeorgeLouis 05:17, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One big problem of this request is that the usage is real, but it is understood only intrinsically in New Zealand. Outside the country it is not used. In New Zealand there has been very few serious attempts to write down and define what South Auckland because it is perceived it will only need to be done in order to explain the term to someone from overseas and "no one from outside NZ will be using it, and since New Zealanders already know the term through family upbringing, so why bother". Any attempts to write down this usage, as at 2006, will thus have largely no written sources to serve as research references. --JNZ 07:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC) with further edits on --JNZ 21:49, 8 December 2006 (UTC) to clarify meaning[reply]

Onehunga and Penrose

I would just like to say that Onehunga and Penrose are part of South Central Auckland and not 'South Auckland'. South Auckland starts from Mangere Bridge.

Yes thats correct South Auckland does not include Penrose and Mount Wellington, the correct changes have been made. Although South Auckland does include the suburb 'Onehunga'. --HannahSamuels 05:55, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Most people would not consider Onehunga to be in 'South Auckland'; instead, Onehunga is on the Auckland isthmus (albeit at its southern end). 'South Auckland' is generally thought of as starting below the Auckland isthmus - i.e., beginning with the narrow strip of land where the Manukau Harbour comes close to the Tamaki Estuary - i.e., Otahuhu and south.

Renaming of this article.

This article needs to be removed or edited to be the Counties Manukau region. South Auckland is not a real nor legal name for this area.

This page looks like it was just created by someone who wanted to make the area out took like South Central; none of the information is either relevant or accurate. Wikikohe (talk) 21:53, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: @Prosperosity: So there's some issues. There's plenty of paragraphs that either don't have citations or don't end with citations. Many PDFs are cited in the article but barely any have page numbers. This is a problem because these pdfs have like 30+ pages so it makes it hard to verify, including the hooks. Also the article says first modern supermarket not the first specifically. Also needs a qpq. Onegreatjoke (talk) 22:17, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, i'm not even too sure if this is a five times expansion or if this falls too short of it. Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:01, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Onegreatjoke: Oh dear, you're right! The article on 1 May the article had 1,035 words of prose, and seven days later it had 4,338. My apologies, I'll withdraw the article as a DYK. --Prosperosity (talk) 02:19, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
