Template talk:Sydney image with region labels
 | This template was considered for deletion on 2008 December 2. The result of the discussion was "no consensus". |
This template is an accurate depiction of Sydney regions and is used by many region articles. It should not be deleted. J Bar (talk) 04:51, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Eastern Suburbs
This template should agree with existing maps of Sydney. In particular, existing government maps generally consider the Eastern Suburbs to extend all the way south to La Perouse Daceyvillain (talk) 08:45, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Please see discussion at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/South-Eastern_Sydney, in particular, the article is being considered for deletion. It is not appropriate to add it to this map. Daceyvillain (talk) 08:50, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Aside from your confounding strong disdain towards the south-east and whether or not it should be on the map. I did add useful accurate regions to the map which didn't exist before. Unfortunately Daceyvillain has taken a strong disliking towards anything I do at this point. 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:A535:DF74:821E:5DAB (talk) 08:55, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- You have been previously told to gain consensus first before making these changes. You have a strong crusade for including South East Sydney on Wikipedia and have failed to discuss/defend your position on the deletion discussion. Secondly you should really create an WP:ACCOUNT rather than switching IP addresses every few days. LibStar (talk) 08:59, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- I feel very attacked for trying to improve accuracy. I understand you're trying to follow the rules on Wikipedia but really at the end of the day all the information I'm adding is really not making Wikipedia worse. I guess no one likes a vigilante. 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:A535:DF74:821E:5DAB (talk) 09:03, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- you have failed to respond to my points. Why the reluctance to discuss on the deletion page where there is no reliable sources defining the South Eastern Suburbs? Why the reluctance to create an account? LibStar (talk) 09:06, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Perhaps you should read everything from my perspective and imagine your own messages were someone speaking to you. Would you really bother creating an account if this is the treatment you get from other Wikipedia editors when you're only trying to improve Wikipedia's content. 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:A535:DF74:821E:5DAB (talk) 09:10, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Again you fail to answer the questions, they are not hard. Wikipedia works on WP:CONSENSUS. Something you fail to do. LibStar (talk) 09:13, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- I feel we could end this silly debate diplomatically and in a civilized way but I keep getting shut down. I've even acknowledged that the south-east is part of the Eastern Suburbs in the larger sense because at the end of the day the region isn't that large and cutting it in half makes them both like micro regions. I was the one who wrote that the south-east is a sub-region of the eastern suburbs. The point I'm trying to make which I keep getting dismissed about is that the two regions are significantly different, the contrast is actually very large. I know this because I've lived in the region my whole life and while the 'Eastern Suburbs' may say it's Watsons Bay to La Perouse I know that putting those two ends in one category is kind of humorous. If you ask any person from the east if Matraville and Double Bay are both the 'Eastern Suburbs' they'd laugh because the thought of comparing those two suburbs and putting them in the same category is actually a very funny thought. If you lived in the area you'd understand and agree that while it may all be the 'Eastern Suburbs' the south-east is very different to the rest of the east. Again none of this means much to you because you just want statistics, links, references, boundaries, maps etc but when it comes to cultural, demographic and socioeconomic differences between areas if you live it you see it more than it could ever be on paper. Once again I'm only adding accuracy and real life experience to better improve information. I'm not about to start editing regions of cities I have no experience living in. I've provided you with all the reasons why the areas are different already and the list was long but it's never good enough so why would I keep trying to argue with a brick wall and even bother making an account over something so trivial. I'm not vandalizing Wikipedia and I don't believe the south-east is better than the rest of the east I just know they're completely different areas where residents in each don't really travel to the other and I'm just sharing that knowledge. 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:A535:DF74:821E:5DAB (talk) 09:30, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is based on reliable sources, not hearsay, personal opinion, or knowledge because you live in that area, that is considered original research. For weeks, you have been stubbornly adding in south east Sydney to suburbs without consensus or reliable sources and actually edit warring and trying to avoid scrutiny by changing IPs and a total avoidance to creating an account. LibStar (talk) 09:40, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- and once again you're attacking me thinking I'm intentionally doing something to Wikipedia's demise and trying to spite you so what's the point in trying to prove myself. 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:A535:DF74:821E:5DAB (talk) 09:44, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not attacking you merely pointing out how you have not abided by Wikipedia policy. Please read WP:CONSENSUS, WP:SPA and reliable sources. LibStar (talk) 09:52, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- It is OK if different types of people live in the same area. The boundaries of the Eastern Suburbs don't need to be redefined to include only one type of people.
- You keep picking on Matraville for some reason - do you know that the Eastern Suburbs Crematorium was opened in Matraville in 1938?
- https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/239986573
- That area of Matraville is now called the Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Suburbs_Memorial_Park Daceyvillain (talk) 03:17, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Good pick up. But according to anon IP it must be called "South Eastern Sydney Memorial Park"! LibStar (talk) 03:26, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- https://www.randwick.nsw.gov.au/about-us/news/news-items/2022/june/community-celebrates-as-new-laws-pass-prohibiting-matraville-incinerator
- Well according to that article by the government site of City of Randwick it's a south-eastern Sydney suburb. But hey what do I know when a suburb like Matraville is so obviously in the same area as a suburb like Point Piper, silly me.
- I guess someone better tell these waste management businesses in Botany and Matraville that the south-east doesn't exist either, silly them.

- business listings don't confirm a boundary or which suburbs make up the "south east region". Where is a definitive map of the south east published in a reliable source?
- Comment From an official report of Council, https://www.woollahra.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/132769/Eastern_Suburbs_Economic_Profile_2013.pdf
- This economic profile is a joint initiative of Randwick City Council, Waverley Municipal Council and
- Woollahra Municipal Council as local government authorities located in the Eastern Suburbs sub-region
- of the Sydney Metropolitan area.
- The Eastern Suburbs study area is a sub-region of the wider Sydney metropolitan area, located east and
- south-east of the Sydney Central Business District. The Australian Bureau of Statistics identifies the
- Eastern Suburbs as an SA3 statistical subdivision that includes the local government areas of Waverley,
- Woollahra and Randwick.
- The Eastern Suburbs extends from the peninsula of South Head at Watsons Bay in the north to
- La Perouse on Botany Bay in the south. The northern part of the Eastern Suburbs comprises the affluent
- suburbs of Vaucluse, Rose Bay, Darling Point, Dover Heights, Double Bay, Point Piper, Watsons Bay, and
- Bellevue Hill. Centrally located to the Eastern Suburbs is Centennial Park, surrounded by the suburbs of
- Woollahra, Paddington, Bondi Junction, Queens Park, Randwick, Kensington, Clovelly and Coogee. To the
- south, the area includes suburbs such as Maroubra, Matraville, Malabar, Little Bay and La Perouse.
- In total, the Eastern Suburbs covers an area of around 58 square kilometres, incorporating 34 suburbs.
- The Eastern Suburbs features an extensive coastline, including some of Sydney’s most popular and best known beaches such as Bondi, Tamarama, Bronte, Clovelly, Coogee, Maroubra, Malabar, Little Bay and
- La Perouse. The region also borders Sydney Harbour to the north and Botany Bay to the south. LibStar (talk) 03:44, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Better tell the Australian Bureau of Statistics they're showing the Eastern suburbs as wrong. https://abs.gov.au/census/find-census-data/quickstats/2021/118 LibStar (talk) 03:49, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- So that report describes the suburbs within Woollahra Council as 'affluent' and goes onto to say that Maroubra, Matraville, Malabar, Little Bay and La Perouse are in the south. Sounds like everything I've been saying is included in an official report, that definitely couldn't be possible considering I've been conducting incorrect 'original research'. Better google some more references that say Matraville is part of the 'Eastern Suburbs' and not the south... 203.49.228.129 (talk) 03:56, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Better rename South Sydney High School to South Eastern Sydney High School to suit your argument. Haha. LibStar (talk) 03:58, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Just a school in Maroubra having the title of 'south' is enough for me. haha. 203.49.228.129 (talk) 04:00, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- If Randwick was going to merge with Waverley wouldn't it be right to call it "Eastern and South Eastern Suburbs Council". After all, Randwick Council residents don't shop at Westfield Bondi do they? https://www.randwick.nsw.gov.au/about-us/news/news-items/2015/may/randwick-citys-future-position-announced LibStar (talk) 04:03, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Give it time and the three of them will merge with City of Sydney to be the inner-city council of Sydney. But yes, residents of Matraville don't shop at Westfield Bondi if that's your question. 203.49.228.129 (talk) 04:08, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- and if you live at Clovelly or Coogee you don't go to Bondi? LibStar (talk) 04:09, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- page 10 of this. https://www.randwick.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/327170/State-of-our-City-Report-2021-web.pdf "Our local government area covers 37.42 square kilometres (3,742 hectares) and includes the 13 suburbs of Chifley, Clovelly, Coogee, Kensington, Kingsford, La Perouse, Little Bay, Malabar, Maroubra, Matraville, Philip Bay, Randwick and South Coogee. It is located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney". Someone at Council better get the sack for not calling in South Eastern Sydney! LibStar (talk) 04:08, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- page 11 of official annual report. https://www.randwick.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/357397/2021-22-Annual-Report.PDF "Randwick City is located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, bounded by Waverley Council to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the east, Botany Bay to the south and the City of Sydney and Bayside councils to the west."

- Here is what the report from those councils actually says
- "The Eastern Suburbs extends from the peninsula of South Head at Watsons Bay in the north to La Perouse on Botany Bay in the south.
- The northern part of the Eastern Suburbs comprises the affluent suburbs of Vaucluse, Rose Bay, Darling Point, Dover Heights, Double Bay, Point Piper, Watsons Bay, and Bellevue Hill.
- Centrally located to the Eastern Suburbs is Centennial Park, surrounded by the suburbs of Woollahra, Paddington, Bondi Junction, Queens Park, Randwick, Kensington, Clovelly and Coogee.
- To the south, the area includes suburbs such as Maroubra, Matraville, Malabar, Little Bay and La Perouse."
- i.e.
- The report divides the Eastern Suburbs into a northern part, a central part, and a southern part for ease of description
- But the report does not pretend that only the northern part is the actual Eastern Suburbs. Which is what you have been falsely claiming. Daceyvillain (talk) 04:09, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Better rename South Sydney High School to South Eastern Sydney High School to suit your argument. Haha. LibStar (talk) 03:58, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
