[edit] Opening comments

I just removed "the cities of" in the heading for the list of subareas. It seemed awkward to have both cities and regions in this list as it was written. Steve Pucci | talk 15:58, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Actually I'm wondering if this page should redirect to one of the other regions listed as roughly synonymous (Silicon Valley or Santa Clara Valley). I don't think so, but if this area is actually different than those areas we should explain here what the difference is. Also, it seems a bit odd to list Sunnyvale here and no other cities (San Jose is perhaps the exception because it is well known outside the region). Steve Pucci | talk 16:05, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Why was this moved from South Bay (San Francisco, California) to South Bay (San Jose, California)? It doesn't make sense...there is no San Jose Bay, it's the San Francisco Bay. San Jose is the largest city in the South Bay, but that isn't the reason it is named the South Bay. The South Bay is a region of the San Francisco Bay Area - there are dozens of other cities besides San Jose in the South Bay. The other regions of the SF Bay Area are listed as North Bay (San Francisco Bay Area) and East Bay (San Francisco Bay Area) so it only makes sense to call this South Bay (San Francisco Bay Area). I tried to move it myself but it's more complicated than that. Andrewn 02:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Support. As I noted above, this article is kind of an odd fish, since there are others that cover overlapping areas; its only reason for existence is to be analogous to the North and East Bay pages, so we should be consistent in naming with those other pages. --Steve Pucci | talk 02:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. Certainly needs to be moved somewhere, and the suggested location looks good for consistancy. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 10:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. Per nom. --Serge 21:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
