Talk:Marina District, San Francisco

message: Okay, while the Marina Girl/Marina Guy stuff is really very funny (and not terribly far off the mark), don't you think it should be made a little clearer that this is a very specific stereotype of a very specific segment of the population? It's kind of jarring, coming before the dead-serious "History" section. I also feel like a citation on the statistics the article leads with is neccessary. --Seja430 21:41, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Should I be offended that all the other neighborhoods are merely factual and the only totally scathing one is the Marina??? Read through the others. So unfair! I love it in the Marina -- bad rap and all. :) Wildcat12 16:12, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

message: You guys should really get off your high horses. That page made wikihistory throughout San Francisco and was a buzz within two days of its posting. There should at least be an archive link. It was funny because it was TRUE! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.6.229.125 (talk • contribs) 
:Here, here.  Humor aside, the Marina Girl section contains key social, cultural yet very true information about the neighborhood.  When you move to San Francisco you learn that there are hipsters in the Mission, there are gay people in the Castro, and the Marina is home to the stereotypical Marina people.  Not -everyone- in the Marina fits that stereotype, but a hell of a lot of them do and if you're honest you'll admit that.  This is a fundamental fact about modern day San Francisco and the Marina and should be mentioned in wikipedia.  At -least- it deserves an external link.  
:I ask the person who removed the external link to this content (and anyone else who thinks this doesn't deserve an external link) to justify here why the other external links currently on the article are more deserving of mention than that one.  I'll add a new external link if I don't see a reasonable argument against doing so within 3 days. Cheesebikini 04:29, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Marina Page 

message: I removed the landfill category from the article because I do not think that the article belongs in it. I think that the category is meant for landfills purposely built for sanitation. The Marina District, on the other hand, was created by filling in the bay with mud, sand and debris. Also, just because a place is built on a landfill does not make it a landfill, just like a town built on a mountain is not a mountain. If people want some sort of landfill category, I suggest creating a category like "settlements built on landfill" ("settlements" allows cities, districts, suburbs and unincorporated towns to be included). There are many places like this, including parts of Boston, New York, New Orleans and Budapest (filled in river). -- Kjkolb 20:51, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a lot of unsourced material about the changing demographics in the Marina section, the population of swingers, the crowds of tourists, etc. Please provide citations or remove your opinions. --Crunch (talk) 00:54, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not vandalism to dispute missing or unclear sources.  Please explain which sources document the "swingers" claim as well as the claim that "ost noted and famous for its demographic population which has rapidly shifted in the 1980s from mostly middle class families and pensioners, to twenty something to thirty something young urban professionals." Thank you. --Crunch (talk) 00:29, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm with Crunch.  Although I wouldn't be surprised if it were true -- heck, it's where Barry Zito lives these days -- a claim like that has to be sourced.  The only reason I'm not deleting it right now is Eman's claim there's a source for it.  Please add it, ASAP. Innocent76 (talk) 04:17, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
