Talk:South Beach

message: Possible source for South Beach / Miami Beach photos?  Both sections need them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Editor99 (talk • contribs) 02:52, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No. anyone can contribute.  However, the page has an excessive number of photos.  If you have a photo that represents South bEach, put it.  a photo of a shoreline that can be anywhere from Brazil to New Jersey hardly represents a unique aspect of South Beach   -   Marc Averette 16:46, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: PHOTOS

message: right now, the article contains this text:
"According to magazines such as The New Times and Ocean Drive, South Beach has replaced Los Angeles and New York City as the United States' most popular nightlife spot."
So lets review that statement: based on two magazines which are both located in Miami and have provided no research or proof, South Beach is the most popular nightlife spot in the united states? Don't you think that the Miami New Times and Ocean Drive magazine have a vested interest in saying Miami is the most popular nightlife spot? Don't you think New York Magazine or Time Out New York have said similar things about New York City being the most popular nightlife spot? This quote fails the NPOV test, as well as failing to cite references, so I am going to remove the text. 
Miami does have a big nightlife scene, but to say they are more popular than NY and LA? I need more proof than two obviously pro-Miami publications.
*The fashion shooting section is horribly written, and does not meet wiki standards. it claims many statististics, including "1500 models" living in the area, and claims South Beach to be the fashion photography capital of the USA. I think I'm just going to delete it if no one speaks up. Skiendog (talk) 20:53, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Nightlife Section

message: I saw that it said "also known as SoBe" in parenthesis in the first paragraph. Being a Miami native my whole life, I've never heard anyone call South Beach "SoBe" so I removed that information.
:I live in South Beach.  I've heard "SoBe", but it's always been said by people away from here (or in magazine articles referring to South Beach).  I've never heard anyone local say "SoBe".  I certainly never say it, since aside from sounding stupid it's the name of a very bad tasting low-quality line of soft drinks.  As a matter of fact, when people (in Miami) ask me where I live, I say "the beach", and when people away from Miami ask me where I live, I say "Miami Beach", not even South Beach.   -   Marc Averette 04:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Very true.  It seems to mostly be New Yorkers who are into terms like "SoHo" who say things like "SoBe" and "SoFi" (South of Fifth in Miami Beach). People from this area just call it "the beach".  (Sobesurfski 15:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

text: As I just restored it again (it was deleted without explanation), I'll note the usage of "SoBe" for "South Beach" in a news headline, here. It looks there is some usage of the term. -- Donald Albury 03:18, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Alternative Names

message: I just deleted the above named section from the article, as it was entirely travel guide directions, original research on bus routes and a vague unsourced report on future infrastructure plans: violations of Wikipedia is not a travel guide, no original research, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and/or verifiability. -- Donald Albury 16:47, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Transportation from Miami

message: I'm not entirely sure what the writer was trying to say with the sentence:
: As of 2000, all of Miami Beach residents, including those of South Beach, spoke Spanish as a first language, which accounted for 54.89% of residents, while English made was spoken by 32.75% of thr population. 
but whatever it was supposed to be, it isn't right.  Perhaps they wanted:
: As of 2000, 54.89% of all Miami Beach residents (not specifically South Beach residents) spoke Spanish as a first language, while English was spoken as a first language by 32.75% of the population.

thread_title:  Demographics 

message: I know that various sources (magazine articles, guide books) make this claim.  But I have never seen it substantiated.   I mean, I love the architecture of South Beach, but it is a small place. It doesn't seem likely that it has more deco buildings than, Los Angeles, Chicago or New York.  I'm not even certain that it has the densest area of art deco buildings in the world.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.35.50 (talk) 20:47, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Most Deco buildings in the world

message: I've deleted the following, which is a made-up designation inserted for marketing purposes:
" Collins Avenue runs parallel to Ocean, one block west. It is also State Road A1A. The ten blocks along Collins Avenue, from 15th Street to 24th Street, also known as the SoBe 10 or Power Mile, are considered to be the epicenter of South Beach nightlife and entertainmenthttp://www.globest.com/news/1900_1900/miami/309421-1.html. With 36 hotels comprising nearly 6,000 rooms, SoBe 10 is home to world renowned historic Art Deco hotels such as the Royal Palm, the Delano, and The Sagamore, as well as newer modern hotels including The Setai, W South beach and the Gansevoort Miami Beach. The SoBe 10 corridor is home to numerous fine dining establishments, Collins Park, and some of Miami's most popular nightclubs, such as Louis Lounge, Mynt, Wet Bar and The Florida Room."

message: I'm not sure why the infobox in this article has details about elected officials.  Isn't "South Beach" just a neighborhood within the City of Miami Beach?  South Beach hasn't even got a GNIS entry.  How can it have elected officials?  Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:28, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

message: An editor has changed the size of the image in the infobox to 350px.  This unnecessarily widens the infobox, and overwhelms the lead section with a huge photo.  Template:Infobox settlement states that the default size is 250px.  I would appreciate the input of others. Thank you.  Magnolia677 (talk) 10:24, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I have removed Flagler Monument Island because it is uninhabited, which would make it an attraction, not a neighborhood. I agree with the IP that South Pointe Tower is not a neighborhood. I removed two items which were neither linked to a WP article nor provided with a citation to a reliable source. Most of the remaining 'neighborhoods' are relatively small islands along the causeways between Miami and Miami Beach. The maps I have found that place a border around South Beach (all on advertising web sites) exclude the causeway islands, but they are in southern Miami Beach, so I left them. I will also note that several of the articles about the neighborhoods/islands are very poorly sourced. - Donald Albury 13:10, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: This "South Beach Map", from South Beach Magazine, shows only the southern end of the main barrier island, and does not include any of the islands in Biscayne Bay. The magazine accepts user-submitted items, and so does not qualify as a reliable source, but I have not found an reliable source that defines the extent of South Beach. - Donald Albury 15:03, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

message: We should probably work spring break incidents and this year's crackdown in somewhere, either in Miami Beach, Florida or South Beach. NBC news article. Seems WP:DUE. Should be plenty of other sources if needed. –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:56, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
