User:Redondo Lover has repeatedly added this edit to the article. User:Fettlemap reverted the edit as "unsourced and puffery", and I have reverted it as unsourced and POV. The input of other editors about the appropriateness of the edit (if a source was included) would be appreciated. Magnolia677 ( talk) 13:08, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
I added in Lynette Fromme, as she was at one point a resident of Redondo Beach and graduated from RUHS. It's no longer there and no explanation was given as to why it was removed by Magnolia677. Fromme moved to Redondo Beach in 1963 and attended nearby El Camino College after graduation prior to moving to Spahn Ranch, all of this information can be found on her article itself. Is it because of her connection to the Manson Family? If Patrick Kearney, a murderer, is listed, why not Lynette Fromme? She may not be notable for a good reason, but she's nonetheless notable. Since there was no grounds for deleting the information I've restored it. Syd Highwind ( talk) 07:33, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
The history section is unfortunately very poor. There is one paragraph on actual history, then a brief paragraph on Moonstone Beach, and 90% of the "history" section is devoted to a overly detailed yet poorly explained discussion of various voting measures related to zoning under the subheading "Direct Democracy in Redondo Beach." This "Direct Democracy" section dwarfs the rest of the article and is clearly intrusive. The bulk appears to have been added on August 10, 2018 by anonymous user 47.144.152.95. It is not only overly long and of unclear significance as general background information, but it is also badly written, lacking key dates and context. It is above all confusing and an example of a single editor derailing a Wikipedia page for their own purposes. I believe it should be removed altogether, or at best condensed into a single paragraph, while the actual history of Redondo Beach should be expanded. BenEsq ( talk) 13:39, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
There is a great deal of unsourced material in this article. Some has been tagged, some I have tagged today. This has been an outstanding problem for years (see above) and the unsourced material should be removed, if no one begins work on adding references. // Timothy :: talk 18:57, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
This article has had major sourcing issues for over 7 years now. I removed three sections of text that were not adequately sourced: Sports, Cost of Living, and Neighborhoods. None of these topics are absolute must-haves in an article for a city. The longer this unsourced information stays up, the more likely it is that someone will take it as fact.
I would love to rewrite/work on sourcing when I have more time for research-intensive work, but for now, these sections are removed and marked as stubs. Thickynugnug ( talk) 15:06, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
