I appreciate the effort that went into creating this new page. However, I have some problems with it. I'll try to see if I can improve the article and I hope others will join in.
The main problem is that the article does not cite any references to support its definition of "Central San Diego." The author starts out, quite properly, listing and referencing the city website's definition of San Diego's "Central neighborhood". [1] But then they go on to define a different area as "central San Diego", without providing any support for the new definition; it seems to be just the author's opinion. A reference link is provided, [2] but it just goes to about.com, which is not a Reliable Source and in any case does not support the new definition. In fact none of the five references (six are listed, but about.com is listed twice) seem to support the definition of the area listed.
The area defined certainly is central, and it certainly is in San Diego, but that doesn't mean we can just arbitrarily decide to call it Central San Diego. Wikipedia always needs to have independent reliable sources to verify what is said in the article. We can't just decide what we want to call things or how we think they ought to be; everything we say has to be verifiable.
I'll encourage the author to tell us where they came up with this definition of the area; maybe we can find some sources to support it. -- MelanieN ( talk) 23:15, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
I am going to change this page to a redirect to Downtown San Diego, for which this might be a reasonable search term. This article is original research, unverified. It has been tagged as original research for almost a year. It has been discussed at this talk page, and notice placed on author's talk page without result. Author has provided no evidence that "Central San Diego" exists as an entity (as opposed to a casual term for the middle of a city), or that it has the boundaries and attributes described in the article. "Central San Diego" does not seem to be a verified geographic entity or concept. If someone objects to this redirect they can revert and I will be happy to discuss it here, but in the meantime I am going to boldly do it. -- MelanieN ( talk) 21:19, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
