Please delete "Wairoa is a Mongrel Mob gang stronghold." because this is not true at all! Refer www.wairoadc.govt.nz

- As this appears to be the reason the page was locked in the first place there needs to be more discussion about this here on the talk page. --Jnorton7558 (talk) 13:56, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- The page you mention contains a media release on its front page: "Enquiries will be made into the gang situation in Wairoa", and the detail quotes the mayor as saying "“I explained that the situation with the gangs in Wairoa had reached a crisis point". See [1]. This does not support your statement that Wairoa is not a Mongrel Mob gang stronghold, unless you are claiming that it is more influenced by a different gang. However, recent media reports such as [2] indicate that the Mongrel Mob is still active in the town.-gadfium 21:04, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
