Talk:San Jose del Monte

Untitled
San Jose del Monte City is a third class component city! and Malolos, according to wikipedia, is a fourth class component city... This is incredible... unbelievable.. I have been to both cities.. Malolos is a bustling and progressive city while San Jose del Monte is a poor, backward, and undeveloped place in Bulacan. SJDM doesnt even deserve to become a city! Sta. Maria, Bocaue, Baliaug, Marilao, and Meycauayan are more progressive and looks more like a city than SJDM —Preceding unsigned comment added by Angeles624 (talk • contribs)


 * I know, I know, I've been there a couple of times myself and---more importantly---I live in Meycauayan. However, Meycauayan has a different story. The citizens of Meycauayan voted overwhelmingly against cityhood even though it exceeds the standards set by the Local Government Code (long story, but the gist of it is that it's the @!*&@! mayor who wants it...mainly because he wants his hands on the potentially huge internal revenue allotment (IRA) that Meycauayan will get should it become a city).


 * Malolos, though, long deserved to be a city for historical reasons even though the most part of it is as rural as SJDM. People often think that Malolos is as progressive as Meycauayan, Marilao, Sta. Maria, Baliuag and Bocaue, but the truth is most of it is agrarian land; one of its main industries is fisheries.--- Tito Pao 21:35, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

References and other stuff
I tagged some of the article's section as unreferenced as well as the whole article itself. The sentences can be doubted as original research and no references can be found. For example, this section qoutes ...the city is now included in Manila built up area which reaches San Ildefonso...

Which prefers as a very conflict section that should provide inline citation.

The external link found beside the Bulacan State University linking to its Sarmiento Campus gives a link that violates NOT. (I decided to overwrite the link and redirect it to the Bulacan State U article namespace instead.)

There are also boldfaced phrases in the article. Per WP:MoS,


 * "Use italics, not boldface, for emphasis in article text. Use boldface in the remainder of the article only for a few special uses:


 * Table headers
 * Definition lists (example: Proof)
 * Volume numbers of journal articles, in some bibliographic formats"

I also removed some italicized phrases that should not be italicized or boldfaced per Manual of Style (titles), especially those indicates mayors and congressmen since they are not notable enough to ensure boldfaced names.

Furthermore, per CAPITAL, section headings should not have words started in capital letters, so I changed it.-- Kulm  Ginos  Member of the WP Guild 03:23, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

There's no such thing as "caretaker" mayor
Just a heads up for everybody, there is no such term as "caretaker" mayor. Under the Local Government Code of the Philippines (RA ), if a mayor leaves office or is removed from his position by legal means, the vice mayor takes over as mayor, normally in an acting capacity. See Chapter 2, Section 44 of the Local Government Code. The same thing applies to any other local government unit head such as governors and baranggay chairmen.

Requested move
- City of San Jose del Monte → San Jose del Monte — Right now, the article and its talk page have different titles (hence why they are nominated seperately), and neither of them are quite with city naming conventions. The title I am proposing is already a redirect to the city article Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken) (Locker) 20:03, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * the article was already moved by another editor back to San Jose del Monte City so that the article and this talk page now match. The title appears to meet the guidelines at WP:NCGN, WP:MOSPHIL and matches other articles at Category:Cities in the Philippines. Station1 (talk) 06:56, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Geographic Location section
Pwede po bang alisin na natin yung mga barangay after ng mga bayan na nakapaligid sa atin... For example : Quezon City (Lagro, Fairview) Tanggalin na natin yung Lagro, Fairview kasi wala naman po silang use dun, mejo trivial lang sila... Ang mahalaga po ay yung mga LGU mismong nakapaligid sa tin (town and cities). 180.194.251.190 (talk) 13:45, 23 May 2012 (UTC) Igop

Three plebiscite tables
This article has three such tables. There had been multiple plebiscites in this place, but ideally these should be written in the prose as this gives WP:UNDUE coverage. Howard the Duck (talk) 05:33, 3 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I have tweaked the concerned tables. Though I think they can still be summarized further especially the latest cityhood plebiscite Hariboneagle927 (talk) 05:04, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
