[edit] Neutrality of the article, especially the title

Hi, I have raised this problem with the creator of the article already, but in short: Even of the subject of the article is notable, and it is possibly, the title of the article is clearly not neutral. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 00:17, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

My thoughts also. GregorB (talk) 14:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Cowschwitz → NewName — Neutrality reasons. While the ranch may well be referred to as Cowschwitx, the article title isn't necessarily the title that the ranch is generally known by, and is a breach of Wikipedia NPOV policies —FlowerpotmaN·(t) 23:12, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request.
The article was moved, expanded and the tone and POV issues addressed. If for no reason other then the airport, there will be an article of some kind. So having that article be for the entire ranch is reasonable. Of course the AfD is still running. Vegaswikian (talk) 00:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
  • Delete the whole thing Wow. Its a cattle farm. How notable. Wow. It is a big cattle farm with a hideous source. Yeah. Dross. Screw renaming, just AFD. Narson (talk) 09:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

I have made the drive between LA and SF literally "hundreds" of times and I have *never* heard anyone call it 'Cowschwitz' or 'Dachcow'. The reference for this line points to a personal travel page and has absolutely no credibility whatsoever. Just because one person says it doesn't mean it should be lumped in with all "travelers". This should be removed.

[edit] Article should stay because of the fixes

This article quality, neutrality, and referenced sources have been improved and think it should stay. Community content has also been added and name of article has been appropriately changed (Harris Ranch article did not previously exist) College Watch (talk) 03:34, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
