[edit]

Does "Metropolitan Fresno" actually exist? Honestly.

Why do we need to jam the two counties together? And why then give that combination a name that isn't used anywhere else? Unless some refs are added to show that there really is a non-marketing entity named "Metropolitan Fresno" or "Greater Fresno," I think this isn't adding anything to WP.

In the meantime, given that the article currently claims that "Metropolitan Fresno" is just a term for the Fresno-Madera, CA CSA and that Fresno-Madera, CA CSA doesn't even have an article of its own, I'm making the two match. Dori ❦ (TalkContribsReview) ❦ 05:22, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update

[edit]
User:Moalli reverted my change, but without any discussion here or on his talk page.
He did add what I guess he thought were references (see below): a link to the census Web site and its population estimates search pages; a link to a Fresno-area Chamber of Commerce; an IRS page referring to the city of Fresno as "Metropolitan Fresno"; and a link to a University of California project which described itself as the "California Subject Matter Project (CSMP) is a statewide network of subject-specific professional development programs for teachers"—none of which strike me as actual third-party sources on anything.
[edit]
As it's apparantly important to this editor that this page exist (although no reason has been given to why), I figured I'd start trying to turn it into the Fresno-Madera, CA CSA article, which actually does have a reason to be. When it's in a little better shape, the next step is to get the actual page (now a redirect) deleted, and then this page renamed to that.
User:Moalli, if you're reading this, how about helping instead of just reverting? Dori ❦ (TalkContribsReview) ❦ 09:51, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
