Semantics are justification for deletion? It was my humble opinion that semantics at most were justification for editing or discussion not deletion.

From the experts in the field: http://www.census.gov/population/www/documentation/twps0027/twps0027.html#cities and the map concurs: http://ftp2.census.gov/geo/maps/urbanarea/uaoutline/UA2000/ua69697/ua69697_00.pdf&pli=1 and independent analysis (if you have a healthy mistrust of the government): http://www.brookings.edu/es/urban/census/lucy.pdf (under methodology)

I am not aware of Latrobe being a neighborhood of Pittsburgh, thus it cannot be a "central city". I share your strong sense of identity I am a Hempfield High School graduate, however growing up within walking distance of Latrobe I never tuned into Latrobe TV nor radio, used the Latrobe offices of federal or state (or even county) agencies, and Route 30 always seemed to have much heavier traffic west in the AM and east in the PM. Since the chief metric for the Census determination is amount of commuters that traffic flow and Latrobe's suburban status would be an accurate determination. I too hope someday to root for the Latrobe Lakers of the NBA (or even watch Channel 3 Latrobe) but most everybody in Latrobe roots for some team in Pittsburgh, attends concerts there, receives major surgery there, since 1992 most get their newspapers with an address there. Just like Henderson, Nevada, Uniondale, New York, Pontiac, Michigan, Falls Church, Virginia and Sandy Springs, Georgia rely on some other place to define themselves. We can call Latrobe many exotic things "Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area borough" etc. but that should not be the precedent for an encyclopedia especially since experts given to elaborate nomenclature call it simply a "suburb". It is my sincere hope that knowledge is not deleted and if contemplated a discussion would ensue first. Thank you. Hholt01 (talk) 08:17, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
