[edit]How come there is no Wikipedia article on the Auckland metropolitan area in New Zealand?
[edit]How come there is no Wikipedia article on the Auckland metropolitan area in New Zealand? 2001:569:5022:4400:FDB9:FFA9:1F62:BD0 (talk) 04:10, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- Nobody has written it yet. Our 8-odd million articles cover a lot of ground, but there'll always be more stuff that needs being written about. In most of those cases, there'll be someone who says "How come this wasn't written X years ago?". Things happen when they happen, surprisingly enough. This is all done by unpaid volunteers, remember. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 04:34, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- Auckland is about the urban area, and also includes some data for the Auckland Functional urban area, which is larger and which it calls Metro. Auckland Region is about a much larger area but only a modest additional population. Auckland CBD covers the commercial centre of the city. Auckland City covers the local body area prior to 2010. Auckland isthmus covers the same area as Auckland City excluding Hauraki Gulf islands. How does your idea of the Auckland metropolitan area differ from all of these?-Gadfium (talk) 05:47, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
