Talk:Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania

message: After personally speaking with the township clerk, I was informed that all books and information citing the townships' incorporation as 1736 is incorrect. There is no document that governed the township until 1907 when the township was formed at the Fernwood hotel in Yeadon. -- HighWiz
:The township was definitely not formed as late as 1907.  Upper Darby split from Darby township in the 18th Century. 24rhhtr7 (talk) 17:27, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

message: There are effective two sections of this article (one near the start, one near the close) that focus on notable residents and these even mention some of the same people.  I'd rather someone else than me fix it but if worse comes to worse... - Boston (talk) 16:05, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm fairly sure that the rowhouses pictured on "Locust Street" are actually found in the 300 block of Richfield Road.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Treeemont (talk • contribs) 17:19, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

message: In 1991, a staggering five Upper Darby cops were convicted of brutally beating and framing an innocent father and son. This incident garnered international attention and is an important part of Upper Darby's history. As such, it belongs in this article.--PhiladelphiaInjustice (talk) 11:34, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

message: Upper Darby Township in Delaware County is the only “Upper Darby Township” in all of Pennsylvania, so why is “Delaware County” included within the article title? Doesn’t that just make the article title unnecessarily long?
I could understand doing that if a township name is re-used across multiple different counties, but in this case, it isn’t.
In addition, other townships that are unique to one county do not have their county names within their article titles. Look at the page for Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County. Mcleanm302 (talk) 23:30, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inclusion of “Delaware County” in the title. 

message: The article previously stated: "Upper Darby, along with Lower Merion, Haverford, and Cheltenham [sic] form the major inner ring western suburbs of Philadelphia."
This is unsourced original research. Who designated this "inner ring" and why were places like Drexel Hill, which are actually closer to the city than Haverford, not included? Where is this documented? 72.78.79.60 (talk) 18:36, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed "inner ring" original research 

message: Whoever has edited this page recently has made it completely incoherent and random and clearly forced things into it just to force them.
Since nobody seems to want to fix it or even bother to make things the least bit balanced, I guess I will.  It wouldn't be the first time I fixed this page after an edit was used to push an agenda.  This current version of the page really isn't how you correctly add complex topics to an entry.  
I'll find sources for everything I add, and not biased opinion pieces disguised as fact like others have used. 24rhhtr7 (talk) 20:48, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
