[edit] Culture in Chico

Culture in Chico (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I noticed this indiscriminate page of directory information (see WP:NOT#INFO) while de-linking "Chico in Popular Culture" (see that AfD). It doesn't seem to have any content suitable for merging back into Chico, CA, and should therefore be deleted. Cool Hand Luke 00:59, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Completely unsourced. --Evb-wiki 01:04, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. rubbish. A favourite of mine is "In 2004, Chico was ranked as the #10 art town in America by author John Villani". Mystache 03:05, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge some of it back with Chico, California. This article looks like a good faith effort from January this year to split out a section which was taking up a lot of space, see this revision for example. There is no question about covering the cultural life in this town, any town or city article missing information on culture (museums, cocert halls, etc.) has a serious deficiency. Of course the list style, rather than full sentences and encyclopedia-style paragraphs, is decidedly sub-optimal, and needs some re-writing. I think most of the entries are verifiable through Chico's city website [1]. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:28, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
  • I have added a few paragraphs to the culture section of the main Chico article, but I am no expert on the field and can in no way do that topic justice. Sjakkalle (Check!) 14:28, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of California-related deletions. -- the wub "?!" 14:18, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, we shouldn't be listing every church for any town, and the rest is pretty non-notable. Wikipedia is not a business directory (full disclosure: I was born in Chico). Corvus cornix 17:55, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge with the main article - not a big town enough to have a separate cultural article.--JForget 23:29, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge into Chico. Sounds like a nice place to live, just like McAllen, Texas or Florence, Alabama... but you couldn't pay me to visit there. Mandsford 00:53, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • It does have a university noted as being the biggest party school in the country.  :) Corvus cornix 16:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
    • • Well, if there's nothing else to do.... Mandsford 22:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete This article is not good enough for Wikipedia. RS1900 10:44, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Unencyclopedic. Keb25 10:56, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Additionally, since when are bars cultural institutions? Bigdaddy1981 17:02, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Never been to Chico, have you?  :) Corvus cornix 17:16, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
