I'm proposing a deletion of that section due to its unencylopedic nature. -- Phoon ( talk) 20:11, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
There are three statements made (lifespan, employment, and Waldorf Reel). The last is unsourced, and appears to be the notability claim. According to the source, Meade lived in Waldorf for 3 years. According to the source, the most likely feature for which to base notability would be a collection begun in the mid-1950s. Taking the various features into account, Meade might be topical in Kentucky (where most of the work was done), but is only an incidental item for Waldorf. TEDickey ( talk) 12:44, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Good points. Since Meade's stay in Waldorf was short and not critical for his work, my post about him does not belong under Waldorf. I will delete it. My post attributed the tune to Meade. It seems that Meade recorded and named the "Waldorf Reel" but did not compose it. Do you think there is there any place within the Waldorf page for a note on the tune named after the town? Meade's recording of the tune is here ( http://slippery-hill.com/M-K/ contains the music file http://slippery-hill.com/M-K/GDAE/G/WaldorfReel.mp3). Jason.Rafe.Miller ( talk) 02:39, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
This article starts off nice. The sources are properly cited and the organization is well done. This article gets a bit random. The first sentence under Economy and Demographics is a bit of a run on sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kstrong2 ( talk • contribs) 02:34, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
A number of these can be found on the Southern Maryland Wikipedia article.
Others can be found by Google search. Also search historical reference to notable residents of "Beantown" (the areas former name).

@ Magnolia677: While I'm not necessarily disagreeing with the moving of this content to the "Arts and culture" section, leaving a section with only images and no corresponding text isn't a good idea at all per WP:IG. Perhaps you're still in the process of cleaning things up, which is fine. It might, however, be better to sort things out in your sandbox first and then make the cleanup/move in one edit because piecemeal edits like this can often lead to misunderstanding and possible edit warring. Personally, I don't think a stand-alone level-2 section for this content is justified and doing so seems a bit WP:UNDUE given what little content there was about it. The stand-alone section might've have been added to make space for the multiple images, but again not so many images seem needed. One representative image is probably OK, but again I don't think four are necessary. Perhaps pick one and move it to the new location? In addition, when you're going to be some cleaning up of an article that may require multiple edits, it sometimes helps to use Template:In use (you can also use it for sections) to make others aware of this as a way of avoiding WP:ECFs. I'm mentioning this because there's no need for Waldorf, Maryland#cite_note-auto2-27 to be being used twice for the same sentence about the Piscataway Indian community. I'm assuming you're still working on this section which is why I haven't removed it myself. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 22:31, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
