Granada Notable Graduates
Can anyone tell us why each of these people is notable if they don't have Wikipedia articles? Thanks, -Willmcw 03:12, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

Limekiln Canyon Park vs O'Melveny Park
I think the editor who describes Limekiln Canyon Park as "more rustic" than O'Melveny is familiar only with the relatively small portion of O'Melveny that's just above Bee Canyon Park, off Sesnon. Most of O'Melveny is undeveloped. By way of comparison, it's the second largest park in Los Angeles, behind Griffith Park. Check out the Google map.

I'm not aware of any easy access from Limekiln to Mission Point, and I can't see any on Google's aerial photos or on the topo map. The main access (the Mario DeCampos Memorial Trail, off Neon) is through O'Melveny. It looks like any access from Limekiln would have to be through the oil field.

I don't have an authoritative source defining LCP, but the Google, Yahoo, and Thomas Brothers maps show it as extending from Rinaldi to Sesnon, just west of Tampa. Perhaps the previous editor was thinking of Limekiln Canyon above the formal park.

I'm not sure, but I think LCP is part of Porter Ranch rather than Granada Hills. Some web references give a Northridge address. (That address is, interestingly, in the canyon above the formal park as shown on the maps, near what appears to be part of the oil field.)

I'll do some more research and see if I can improve the article a bit. Jordan Brown 07:03, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Where to put notable graduates?
We have notable graduates both in the schools section and in the famous people section, with some (but not complete) duplication. It seems to me like they should go in one place or the other, but not both.

Thoughts?

 * All of the info about the schools should be moved to those articles. -Will Beback · † · 23:59, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree, so I've done that. I left the stadium information here, because the Quakes involvement makes it interesting independent of the school.


 * That's at least removed the duplication on this page but it leaves duplication between the "notable people" section here and the "notable alumni" sections on the two schools. I don't like the duplication, but it seems like the information is interesting in both places.  Maybe the right answer is to have the section here be "notable people born in GH" and have a See Also note that points at the schools' pages for alumni.

 * Thanks for that work. Is there a maternity hopsital in GH? This is always a sticky issue. "Notable natives" implies those who were raised, if not born in the area. "Notable residents" is a frequently used formula which is more vague about the connection. -Will Beback · † · 01:32, 15 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Ooh, good point. I don't know for sure.  There used to be a hospital, but I think it's closed now.  Don't know whether it did deliveries.


 * However, note that the article currently says "from Granada Hills"; it doesn't refer to birth. That seems adequately vague.

Famous People from Granada Hills
Come on, no more atheletes in this section. Round it out with people involved in other fields. Eugeneacurry 16:36, 3 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, you only find large quantities of famous people in acting and sports... maybe politics. Here's a Google search for IMDB entries that mention GH... I think Gooding and Judd were the only two names I recognized.


 * I've been mulling how much biographical information is appropriate here. I don't think team affiliations are really needed - once you have the fact that you're talking about an athlete and what sport, you can probably figure out whether this is the person you're thinking of.  If you want further information, their personal article is only a click away.  Thoughts?

Mission Point / Peak
The official name of the geographic feature is Mission Point. Ref the USGS Oat Mountain topo map. Including an alternative name seems fine, but let's keep the official one as the primary reference. (Omitting alternative names is OK too.) Jordan Brown 23:58, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Photo in Notable Residents section
Does a photo of a baseball player really add anything to the Notable Residents section? I don't think so, but I'm willing to listen to other inputs. Jordan Brown (talk) 05:17, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Los Angeles Times crime link
(Originally posted on the talk page of User:Richard Apple. Thanks for looking at the above article. I am confused by some of yours edits, but I have reverted only one at this time. I will be carefully studying the others. I'd appreciate a discussion on the talk page over there. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 06:15, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
 * The space is very limited for explaining on the edit page. I had noticed that one of the external links was to a crime map in the LA Times.  I couldn't figure out how this was an official site that needed an external link.  Perhaps the information in the chart could be written into the article.  Otherwise people will be linking to all sorts of random sites with some bit of information about Granada Hills.  I find WikiProject Cities/US Guideline a good guide.  Thanks.  Richard Apple (talk) 06:25, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
 * This particular link is updated regularly by the Los Angeles Times, so the info cannot be written into the article because it is changing all the time. Anyway, the place for discussing content issues is on the Talk Page of the article so I will be continuing it over there. Hope to hear from you again. GeorgeLouis (talk) 11:56, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Not having heard an objection in the past two days, I am restoring the crime link as something important to the neighborhood which cannot be incorporated into the article because it changes all the time. GeorgeLouis (talk) 14:26, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Knollwood golf course
I think the Knollwood golf course should be mentioned. Sam Tomato (talk) 19:50, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
