Talk:Des Plaines, Illinois

message: I took the liberty of removing the phrase "formerly Rand, Illinois" from the beginning of the article. If Des Plaines had been incorporated as Rand at some point, I could see the point in keeping it there, but since that's not the case, it seems to me that the brief designation as Rand would be better stated in a "history" section of the article. Any thoughts? -- Tim D 11:53, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rand, Illinois 

message: I changed the reference in pop culture, that Gacy did his deeds in Des Plaines.  I see no reason to advance a misconception.  Comments?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cieplinj (talk • contribs) 14:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pop Culture 

message: The city limits technically fall into four townships.  The largest part of the city is in Maine and is therefore most recognized.  Areas west of Mount Prospect Road are in Elk Grove Township.  North of Central Road lies in Wheeling Township.  A very small section northeast of the intersection of Des Plaines River Road and Central Road is in Northfield Township.  Accessing the town websites for Elk Grove and Wheeling will mention parts of corporate Des Plaines in their townships.  There is no mention in the Northfield Township website.  This area, while in the city limits, is undeveloped with no residents and most likely is overlooked by Northfield.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.226.111.177 (talk) 05:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Townships 

message: I've added a trivia tag to the article and intend to dispense with this list. I will incorporate what important information I can into the main article, and ask you do the same. I would like to see the references to Gacy go to his own article. He is dead and gone and the City of Des Plaines is a minor player in that saga at best.Nickrz (talk) 23:07, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Trivia as popular culture

message: The article now contains a list of 15 places of worship, with external links to most of them. Someone has also added a template indicating that the list needs expansion. Unless places of worship are architecturally or historically significant (say, the Bahai Temple in Wilmette, Illinois), I don't see why they are notable, or why Wikipedia should effectively be advertising them. Should we have a list of "Restaurants" and links to hundreds of restaurant websites? This strikes me as non-notable linkspam. I think the whole section should be deleted.

replies: text: I am inclined to agree.  If this article were about Chicago, or even a smaller city like St. Louis or such, it would be impossible to list this information.  I do not suspect that smaller towns are exempt, though as you noted, any places of worship which may be unique or historically notable could be mentioned.

replies: text: Deleted - spam. No other city has this, why make an exception here?108.23.147.17 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 17:04, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Places of Worship - Is this notable, or just linkspam/advertising?
