Talk:Crafton, California

Unsourced
Nothing in this article bears any relation to a reliable source. I looked at an aerial view map to find Crafton and there's basically a spot on Sand Canyon Road where Crafton Hills College sits. Across the street from that there's a big cleared dirt area where a tract of homes is going in. Is this the vaunted Crafton? We need a map to determine what it is and where it is... and the map needs to be sourced.

There's also a Crafton Avenue that comes out of Mentone and stretches southward in a straight line until it hits Sand Canyon. Is any of the area surrounding the intersection of Citrus and Crafton called Crafton? If so, it looks more like citrus farmers live there than the wealthy people that are mentioned in the article. Taking Sand Canyon over the hill toward Yucaipa, I see that the Crafton Hills College is more on the Yucaipa side. The college website lists itself as being in Yucaipa, not Crafton. To me, it appears as if Crafton is not very well defined; a non-notable place except perhaps in the minds of a tract home developer.

The "Diamond of California" nickname is a well of wishful thinking. Googling the phrase yields a nut farming company and other lesser-known firms. No nicknames. Binksternet (talk) 01:08, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * This "Diamond of California" nickname is nowhere to be found. Also, the census bureau does not have a record of Crafton, so it is not a CDP. If not a CDP, there's no way that data regarding demographics was compiled by them. I'm deleting the entire demographics section and the unprovable nickname.

 * I've also corrected the map coordinates. Binksternet (talk) 19:52, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
