Untitled

I would think it would be a bad idea as probably over half of the Saugus.net content (computer references, ghost story contest, etc.) doesn't have anything to do with Saugus at all, and a lot of the remainder is for what the site refers to as "greater Saugus," that is, Saugus and the surrounding towns. It would be a little like pulling the entry for the Boston Globe into the entry for Boston. In both cases they're entities with separate histories, separate goals, and separate areas of coverage.

It may make sense though to incorporate the Saugus Chamber of Commerce into Saugus as that doesn't have much point outside of Saugus. Of course, that would mean that it wouldn't show up in topical Chamber of Commerce types of searches.

I agree that it makes no sense to add Saugus.net to the "Saugus, Massachusetts" category. Should all noteworthy ventures be listed under the town in which they were founded?

I removed the "fact" that President Taft appeared with the local community theatre group. I also removed the statement that this is the third oldest community theatre group in New England. Couldn't find a source, and since the group was founded in 1958 it seemed unlikely. I also removed a reference to their current production, which is now past, and didn't seem to belong here anyway.

Media section

I think that if the media section can't be expanded, it should be eliminated or folded into the section above it. It doesn't seem to fulfill any real purpose as-is. 71.243.2.190 (talk) 10:16, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This section and the local organizations section do not meet the general notability guideline. They both should be deleted. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 03:42, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Demographics

The demographics section is a little weak. It's well-known in the Boston area that a majority of Saugus' population (about 70%) is either of Italian or Irish ancestry, with Italian-Americans being the larger group (about 40%). Most of the Italian-Americans trace their ancestry through East Boston (a section of the City of Boston), and the Irish-Americans through the City of Somerville. Saugus is often viewed at a prime destination for city dwellers who want to move to the suburbs -- at least in East Boston and Somerville. Bostoner (talk) 04:27, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
