This article reads more like a tourist brochure in parts rather than an encyclopedic article. It needs to be edited.

Who took teh drug parts out of the article? it's all doumented facts!

Agreed, it was poorly written, but should be improved rather than deleted. Starting with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_Ángel_Félix_Gallardo and all the way to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joaqu%C3%ADn_Guzmán_Loera The Sinaloa Cartel runs this area and needs to be in any article about this area, despite what the tourist board wishes! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.19.150.253 (talk) 00:57, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Agree on both of the above counts- barely a fleeting reference to the fact that this is the hub of the most powerful criminal enterprise on earth- surely this impacts significantly upon the fabric of society in Culiacan, and therefore should be commented upon in much greater detail in this article. I'm no authority on the subject, so I can't add anything to the article myself, but someone with expertise surely should. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.191.179.2 (talk) 03:50, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Mineros atrapados?
Was the 65 dead miners in this town? John wesley 15:30, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

No Economic Info
What drives the economy? We need some facts here about industries or agriculture. Also, the part about driving and women police officers has no place here. Vogensen There's also no mention of the Sinaloa Cartel or the drug trade which is headquartered in this area. The Sinaloa Cartel is probably the biggest drug trafficking organization on the planet, and not mentioning it here is like not mentioning cocaine in an article about Cartagena or Colombia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.19.150.253 (talk) 00:44, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Foundation date
There must be a mistake in this sentence: "Before the Spaniards arrived, this site had been a small Indian settlement since 628 when passing Aztecs had first founded it." Aztec history does not go so far back. I would be surprised if any history in this part of Mexico does. Is the year wrong? Rbraunwa 14:11, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * The year is correct according with the official history, I don't know their sources. --Abrego 23:48, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Chalino Sánchez
Is he really from Culiacán? It does not say that on his WP page.

Chalino was not From Culiacan but from a "rancho" called las Flechas near Culican — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.213.183.146 (talk) 20:24, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Cartel violence
Culiacán has made the news recently due to the terrible situation with the drug cartels there: https://time.com/5705358/sinaloa-cartel-mexico-culiacan/ Does this merit inclusion in the article? Seems like something I'd want to know if I were a tourist at least.--Clevera (talk) 02:37, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
