I am about to merge an edited form of this material into the main article, making it possible to delete El Camino Bible Church while maintaining history. Dpbsmith (talk) 23:03, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Churches

Is listing churches on city articles within the purview of Wikipedia? I would tend to say no, unless the churches are historically, architecturally, or otherwise significant.

By what standard were the churches in this article listed? I'd like to list one, if we're going to be listing every church in the city.

I'm cool with it either way, but I want to know if we want to consider pruning this list. Jdavidb 23:14, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Personally I agree with your assessment in your first paragraph, and see no need to include average churches, and I can't remember seeing any other city article that does include them. I think the precedent in this article was set by actions taken based on some of the comments at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/El Camino Bible Church, but since the consensus was "delete", and not "merge", I see no reason to keep the info in the article.

[edit] Oldest institution of Higher learning

The oldest institution of Higer learning in Caliornia(indeed on the west coast) is San Jose State University (started as San Jose City College) Not Santa clara university

Santa Clara University was founded in 1851 as Santa Clara College. San Jose State University was founded in 1857 as Minns' Evening Normal School in San Francisco. San Jose State is the state's oldest public university, but Santa Clara University is the state's oldest institution of higher learning.

[edit] Images

I made number of images in Santa Clara based on Historic tour. They are available in commons:Category:Santa Clara, California. --EugeneZelenko 14:18, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Representation

This section seems odd. I checked some other city pages (San Jose, Oakland, Sunnyvale, cupertino, San Francisco), and none of them have this section. Should it maybe be whacked? Jokeboy (talk) 02:33, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
