Talk:List of Chinatowns in the United States

parallel to Chinatowns in Canada and the United States
Since the splitting of this off from List of Chinatowns, this is now parallel to what had been the "Chinatowns in North America article"'s US section; this one at least has quite a few real historic Chinatowns, not a bloated list of conflated claims about commercial districts that are "small-c chinatowns" as defined/opined by Wikipedia editors; most in the San Gabriel Valley section, for instance, should be wiped IMO. I'm tempted to place a merge tag to go with those already on Chinatowns in Canada and the United States and Chinatown patterns in North America (the latter should be deleted outright IMO, as pure OR/essay and mostly mirroring content in other articles. WP:Wikipedia is not a directory, and this page should not be a directory of Chinese commercial areas;; but only places called Chinatown, or can be cited as e.g. Little Taipei, Little Shanghai, China Alley etc....Skookum1 (talk) 04:34, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Removed Tampa, Florida
I live in Tampa about two blocks away from Waters and Armenia Ave. There is no China Town located here. It seems like someone read a speculative article in the St. Pete Times about What If we had a China Town, where would it be? (http://www.sptimes.com/2003/02/07/Northoftampa/A_culture_takes_root_.shtml) In Tampa there is no centrally located Chinese population or group of stores. They are spread out across the city just like all the other ethnic restaurants and stores. One or two asian markets in a strip mall isn't a Chinatown. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.252.228.63 (talk) 20:14, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
