Not a stub and its available for the public. Good to see the page I started ade it this far thanks to many users. House1090 ( talk) 01:17, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
The figure for area must be wrong. Also, an explanation is needed for how density is calculated. It is not reasonable to use the whole county as the area of the MSA. Fitzcantab ( talk) 07:51, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
About the division of the area into "East County," "South Bay", etc. - I always thought that was just popular usage. You have indicated it's a distinction actually made by the County of San Diego, but I can't find a confirmation of that. Is that actually an official designation? -- MelanieN ( talk) 15:18, 17 January 2010 (UTC)MelanieN
Even mentioning San marcos and National City as "major" in San Diego is rubbish. Both are near non-entities as cities in the area compared to several others, and the article should reflect that. Comments welcome, but I will edit it in lieu of a reason otherwise. Jlodman ( talk) 02:26, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Looking at this recent edit [1], which asserts "The region as a whole, including Tijuana, Mexico, has more people than Greater Boston and would place the San Diego–Tijuana region within the top 10 largest US metropolitan areas." I have a couple issues with the assertion. Is there any published source from either the US Census or some other entity to back this up? Also is this material appropriate for this article, or would it be better served in the San Diego–Tijuana region article? - Optigan13 ( talk) 08:41, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Not sure why we even needed this, but someone put "third largest in Southern California." While true, there are only three to start with. So the claim is silly and pretentious IMO. Why do we even make it? I tried changing this to "smallest" and was reverted. I have now included the count, "third largest out of three." See what happens there. I need help here to delete or at least mitigate a nonsensical and unnecessary claim. It isn't needed and doesn't appear helpful to understanding the article.

Not sure why lumping the San Diego metro with the Tijuana area is necessary here. They have their own article anyway, and is not WP:TOPIC to this article. There is a international border there. Questions are asked in order to get through it. Not exactly a "sister" community. Student7 ( talk) 16:36, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

The article includes the sentences, "The region is host to the second largest cruise ship industry in California which generates an estimated $2 million annually from purchases of food, fuel, supplies, and maintenance services.[26] In 2008 the Port of San Diego hosted 252 ship calls and more than 800,000 passengers.[27]"
$2 million seems really low to me for 252 ship calls and 800,000 passengers - is it supposed to be $2 _billion_? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.216.150.36 ( talk) 11:45, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
