I am not taking official action on the nomination since I don't have time to thuroughly review the article, , but the number of references and in-line citations clearly needs to rise to be upto the de facto GA standard. Facts about history and demographics in particular which should be citable to government sources should be referenced. Otherwise it looks like an excellent article, but I only look through it breifly. Eluchil404 21:08, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Hunua Ranges are not actually in the Papakura District, in fact it is not even in the Auckland area, Hunua is officially a rural locality of the Franklin District, not the 'Papakura District'

Auckland’s Future Auckland’s big-city mayors recently requested a proposal for the Auckland Region’s Local Government to be reformed. The proposed plans went ahead and Auckland will soon go from 8 different councils, to maybe 2, 4, or even, 5, (1 Greater Auckland Council and 1, 3, or 4 local city councils). This means from 7 different districts to 1, 3, or even 4. Papakura's Future These plans will definitely affect Papakura District, and the Papakura District Council. It was proposed that Papakura, Manukau, and Auckland’s half of Franklin was made into one city. So, instead of Papakura District actually being an independent district the area would be included into a new city Manukau City. “Manukau City” will include the current Manukau City as well as the current Papakura District. If these plans are not feasible then maybe the whole of Auckland would become 1 “super-city” this would mean that Rodney, North Shore, Waitakere, Auckland City, Manukau, Papakura District, and maybe Franklin would all become “Auckland City”, so ONE council, ONE voice. These plans are heavily supported by Helen Clark, ONE Auckland Trust, Auckland’s 4 big-city mayors, and many Aucklanders themselves. |

excellent, thanks for your feedback.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.150.110.236 ( talk • contribs)
No, because it has already been rejected completely [1], and I don't think it was under discussion for long enough for it to warran inclusion even as a rejected proposal (will anyone remember it in 3 years time?) hence I'm removing the section completely.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Dramatic ( talk • contribs)
[[Image: File:None.gif|45px]] | Papakura residents can be informed of Breaking News and Emergency Messages in less than 2-3 minutes (relying on the Newsteams and Services etc), however Tsunami, Hurricane, Volcano, Terrorism and Bomb Warnings are uncommon in the district, but are taken into consideration by the Papakura District Council and Civil Defense Auckland. |
I don't understand what this is saying. I assume that Newsteams is a typo for newstreams, but in that case just about everyone everywhere can be informed of breaking news and emergency messages. Does Papakura have some special mechanism in place to inform residents of an emergency. I believe most communities in New Zealand have civil defence sirens; not that most people would know what to do if they went off.- gadfium 01:18, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
a) Acting like a sockpuppet, with these IP addresses] :
b) Edits not appropriate for an encyclopedia -- obsessed with administrative trivia and lists of suburbs
c) Repeatedly degrades the introductory sentence with "Informally just Kura" or similar. Totally superfluous
d) Repeatedly adds opinion that Red Hill is "most picturesque suburb".
a) Get a proper user name and sign in.
b) Read
Invercargill or other wikipedia articles to get an idea of what a decent article is like: readable, interesting, unique, informative, succinct. Using paragraphs & short sentences. Stop reinserting junk. Respect other users.
c) I am dismayed that Papakura's graffiti problem now extends to cyberspace. Arrgh make it stop
d) Need to get out more. Try different adjectives, eg
"Suburban Highlights: Keri Hill has pastoral lifestyle blocks overlooking Ardmore; Red Hill offered a strategic vantage point for the indigent Maori people, but is now a popular suburb; Pahurehure has a seaside setting on the eastern reaches of Manukau Harbour. Drury is the first genuine country town south of Auckland, and Takanini is Papakura's industrial zone". No need to list ALL the suburbs; that's very boring.
Also, please read the Good Article Criteria and revew comments above. This was once quite a good article, however your additions of insane political trivia make it indigestible. ~~ Papeschr 07:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Excuse Me? But what is it with you? Do you have some sort of problem?? GOSH why do you have to be so rude? I don't even thinik you should be allowed on here, I'm just trying to improve the article. I don't want to look at Invercargill's article, Papakura is different, just leave me alone!
obsessed with administrative trivia and lists of suburbs, what the heck is that? it's not obsession, you have a really bitchy attitude! Could you just leave wikipedia, permanently!
So, really, you have a major issue! Either with me or with my work. You can't have everything your way! There's only 1 thing in the middle of the universe and it's NOT YOU! It's the sun!! I think you should consider some anger management, or something because you offend people withyour attitude. Your attitude is snobby, and bitchy, like a 4 year old's so just GROW UP! You're making issues personal, and you need to be much more proffessional. So what if you have some sort of special relationship with
Papakura, some of YOUR inserted JUNK is totally INCORRECT. Please leave Papakura's article alone. It was fine withOUT you Thanks.
Well thank you MadMaxDog! You have a much better understanding than papschr, and especially much better ATTITUDE
Hello, Just wondering, Why is Nick Watson associated with Papakura? Do you know? -- HannahSamuels 04:15, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Could somebody please change the name of this article, from Papakura to Papakura District? This article refers to the actual district, not the suburb Papakura. I am planning to make an article: Papakura, about the suburb, not the district as a whole. Thanks. -- HannahSamuels 08:19, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
A 30 minute drive southeast of the Papakura District is the Hunua Ranges (in Franklin District). This Auckland Regional attraction features a waterfall and forested walking tracks. Since Papakura has no major river, just a stream, much of Auckland's water (including Papakura District’s) is supplied from reservoirs in the Hunua Ranges. does this information need to be in this article? Officially, Hunua is in the Franklin District not Papakura?? Could I please get some feedback? Chhers. -- HannahSamuels 08:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

No thanks. If/when Papakura District is subsumed by a SuperCity, or renamed to something else, then we can rename this article and update the info accordingly. As it is, a separate Papakura article is duplication of effort. I vote for one Papakura article. Papakura is not a big place, it should just have 1 wiki page!
