Talk:White Rock, British Columbia

This page needs major attention
Other than all kinds of things that should be linked aren't, and promotional boldings all over the place, this thing reads like a mix of municipal p.r.-dept brochure and community critics of the Bosa Development. The FN legend could possibly be split off; that translation of Semiahmoo meaing "half-moon" sounds pastiche and bogus to me, but maybe it's real; there is nonetheless a Category:First Nations mythology er, Category:Native American mythology maybe, can't remember) where a separate article could exist (once researched/cited). But it'smore than that - there's editorializing all over the place.  I don't have time, and don't know White Rock well enough; I came here looking for any information the article might have had (it doesn't) about the waterspout that blazed into the heart of White Rock several years ago; I'd been looking at derecho and it occurred to me that the White Rock Waterspout was a Category:Natural disasters in British Columbia natural, as also the tornado that hit Abbotsford/Sumas within the last few years (minor though it was).  I think the Compass/nearby communities box at the bottom could maybe specify Crescent Beach/Ocean Park as the part of Surrey to the NW, Cloverdale to the NE etc.Skookum1 (talk) 22:23, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Andy Anderson
The IP inserting this person's name into the article clearly does not understand Notability (sports). At most, this skateboarder only marginally meets the basic requirements listed there.--Jasper Deng (talk) 23:30, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I also oppose the addition of Andy Anderson on the notable people list. WP:CCSG does not offer guidance, but typically "notable people" lists on city articles are for individuals who have a Wikipedia article, or are presumed notable (a Member of Parliament or professional athlete), so long as a source supports they lived in the place.  Andy Anderson is not presumed notable, has no Wikipedia article to support notability, and has not yet competed in an Olympics.  I am certain, however, that the IP is not Andy Anderson, as I have been fortunate to know various members of Olympic teams through the years and they have a lot of class.
