I'm moving this from the Category: Auckland, simply because this isn't really a geographical article, and all the articles there are geographical ones. If anyone feels it should be there, that's fine - it won't take much doing to put it back! [[User:Grutness| Grutness talk ]] 06:10, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Elizabeth Yates (mayor) is in the category mayor of Auckland, and I think she sort of belongs there. But she was actually 'only' mayor of Onehunga, when it wasn't incorporated yet. We will eventually have to distinguish between the mayors of Auckland ( Auckland City today and the precedessor entities of that Auckland in the area of today's Auckland CBD) and those of other parts of Auckland.

I was wondering about the system of counting mayoralties. It's different to how American presidencies are counted. This from the American definition:
A presidency is defined as consecutive time in office served by a single person. For example, George Washington served two consecutive terms and is counted as the first president (not the first and second). Gerald Ford assumed the presidency after the resignation of Richard Nixon, serving out the remainder of what would have been Nixon's second term. The fact that Ford was not voted into office does not affect the numbering, which makes him the 38th president. In addition, under this numbering, Grover Cleveland is counted as having two separate presidencies, having served two non-consecutive terms.
So, going by that system, Auckland would have had:
Is this deliberately different to the American presidential system? Has this discussion been had before in the NZ context? Schwede66 ( talk) 12:03, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
The election is over and the new mayor is known. Should we now not treat Auckland as a continuing entity with greatly expanded borders. 20 years ago (and before) there were also substantial changes (eg Newmarket Borough, Mt Eden, Mt Roskill, Onehunga etc etc) but it was still Auckland that continued. Therefore should we treat Brown as the first mayor of Auckland? I dont think so. Rick570 ( talk) 07:23, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
On a related topic, I have made a suggestion about the geog articles at Talk:Auckland#Article for the Auckland super city. Nurg ( talk) 01:15, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
I noticed that someone's rather sneakily made the article for John Palino redirect to this page. I'm not well-versed enough in Wikipedia to fix it, would one of you like to rectify it? 219.89.44.6 ( talk) 09:47, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
I don't think that we need a standalone article for the deputy mayor. Everything that is there could be covered in the main article. Schwede 66 17:57, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
