Talk:Food desert in West Oakland

Deletion


Do we really need an article on this? This seems more like it's someone's community college essay. There are lots of food deserts in America, this one is not special. --Therealelizacat (talk) 22:17, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree. Most of it has nothing to do with Food Deserts.  The relevant part could be merged into the general page on food deserts.  I don't know what one would do with the rest if not deletion...Skingski (talk) 05:52, 3 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)
 * Slimming down page to prepare for merger. And yes, it clearly is someone named McClintock's essay here.Skingski (talk) 04:22, 18 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)
 * Deleting sections that are not specific to West Oakland. Some info will be merged into the main page on Food desert.Skingski (talk) 04:54, 18 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)
 * Moved sections into Farmers' market and Supermarket shortage as noted.Skingski (talk) 16:54, 18 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)

I just realized, THE key measure of a food desert is distance to a store that offers healthy food. No evidence is provided whatsoever to establish that this is true. So the title of the article page is unsupported.Skingski (talk) 14:46, 18 July 2017 (UTC)(talk) 

Redundant references
The same references are cited multiple times without combining them.Skingski (talk) 04:07, 18 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)

Tags and redirect
"merge to|Food desert|date=March 2017" and "essay-like|date=May 2014 tags" fixed. Redirected page to Food desert as that is the more likely destination a wiki researcher would go.Skingski (talk) 19:37, 18 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)
