I propose that Baldwin Hills, Los Angeles and Crenshaw, Los Angeles be merged into Baldwin Hills/Crenshaw, Los Angeles. This is considered one neighborhood within the South Los Angeles region by the Los Angeles Times, which is the only WP:Reliable source we have for the naming of neighborhoods, and the Times's compilation of statistics for this and other districts would be invaluable for Wikipedia readers wishing to compare this neighborhood with any other in L.A.

I would agree with PlayCuz, and I would imagine that of course he (or she) doesn't "oppose the creation of the [article] itself". In some ways, sure it makes sense to merge the areas together, but it wouldn't really give you an accurate picture of the distinct features of each area. The feel in and around Crenshaw Boulevard is substantially different than the feel in and around the Baldwin Hills. Sure, there's some overlap, but not enough really to merge them together, in my opinion. The LA Times should separate them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.101.193 ( talk) 03:21, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
>>>>> I agree with PlayCuz. She is much more eloquent than I. Please be mindful that the LA Times doesn't have any idea about the different neighborhoods where black people live in Los Angeles. In their mind, anywhere there is black people is "South LA". Given the unique-ness of Baldwin Hills, you should definitely NOT merge Baldwin Hills with Crenshaw.
I oppose. Mr George I noticed is using the L.A. Times as a source to draw neighborhoods, but George isn't aware apparently that their maps aren't entirety accurate as everyone knows. Baldwin Hills has always been its own separate neighborhood. I also noticed that George has inaccurately set boundaries through SFV neighborhoods as well. For example, Sherman Oaks. In 2009, the City council extended the boundary from Burbank Blvd to Oxnard street boarded by the 405 freeway and Hazeltine. He instead reverted back to old boundaries. Also Van Nuys doesn't extend west of the 405, its Lake Balboa since 2007. Or the L.A times mistaking the Greater Toluca Lake Neighborhood Council for the actual Toluca Lake boundaries. West Toluca Lake, Toluca Terrence, and Toluca Woods are not part of the actual Toluca Lake. They are legally their own neighborhoods. Maybe if we stop trying to be divisive by putting down neighborhoods like Van Nuys, putting emphasis on its poverty and high school drop-out rates in the introduction paragraphs, we will be able to see this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.207.24.155 ( talk) 02:59, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
I just wonder why these recent changes were made: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Baldwin_Hills%2FCrenshaw%2C_Los_Angeles&type=revision&diff=674114716&oldid=673250320. There was no explanation in any of the Edit summaries. Rather than summarily revert them, I would prefer that the other editor explain here. Thank you.
