Establishments section[edit]

Should a town page like this really have a section listing commercial establishments? It doesn't seem very encyclopedic to me, and it seems rather close to advertising. It seems like something that belongs in a WikiTravel article instead.

A Google search turned up a few foreign towns and cities with such a section, and one fictional town. Notably, I did not find Idalia in those searches, so I may have missed many other examples as well.

I agree that the Establishments section reads too much like advertising. However, I do think that there is value in mentioning the town's business climate. What is the protocol for this? Perhaps edit the section so that the businesses are described, but not necessarily mentioned by name? Lthanlon (talk) 18:59, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Idalia High School Football[edit]

I'm thinking that the Strategy and Success account of the Idalia football team should omit the lengthy explanation of the game and instead provide a link to this Wikipedia page for a description. As high school athletics are such an important part of small-town life, I think the interesting history of how Idalia has fielded players is fine. Lthanlon (talk) 14:19, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just came to this talk page to say the same thing...perhaps the six man football explanations belong on the six man football page. --Anthonybaldwin (talk) 22:30, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
