Talk:South Bay (Los Angeles County)

Inglewood IS part of the South Bay

STOP deleting Inglewood as a South Bay community, if you want PROOF it is part of the south bay check the link on the Inglewood wikipedia article that comes directly from LA COUNTY here is more PROOF: http://southbaycities.org/files/source/home-map.gif http://www.southbayaor.com/images/southbaymap.large.jpg http://www.chooselacounty.com/laregions/southbay.html

I disagree and question your sources; Real Estate agents will promote Inglewood as "South Bay" to increase property values and commissions, and L.A. County wants to increase property taxes. Perhaps with the new term of "Westside" Inglewood could be "Southwest Side".

Inglewood is more the "South Bay" than Rancho Palos Verdes or San Pedro. Whoever is gatekeeping this ignorance is pretty clueless.

Well if there is any doubt left that Inglewood is part of the south bay let's reference three sources being: an official L.A. County Website that shows a map and lists the different regions of L.A. County and shows both on the map and list that Inglewood is in the South Bay:

http://laedc.org/wtc/chooselacounty/regions-of-la-county/south-bay/

Also see the official South Bay Cities Council of Governments Website that is literally the official South Bay website that also lists it:

http://southbaycities.org/about-us

and lastly the Los Angeles times "Mapping L.A." section that also breaks down every region of Los Angeles county, including the South Bay: http://maps.latimes.com/neighborhoods/region/south-bay/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CD06:C3A0:8C66:F689:D4F2:3307 (talk) 09:15, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

This is quite funny. Definitions of slang change often. But Inglewood being part of the South Bay and using government related items to prove it … well the pretentious government officials have it I guess. There are many communities within the map on wiki. And the South Bay is much smaller than in the map. Maybe these government officials should get out more and stop looking at property values on Zillow?

but whatever… if ur really from here then you know.

i think these definitions on wiki should be listed as “according to some” 2603:8000:E500:B6A5:1C4F:385F:85D9:3431 (talk) 22:54, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Requested move 21 May 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. There is a mild consensus for this requested move. Per WP:BRACKETDIS and WP:PRECISE, this is a valid move and per the nominator and supporters, the current name implies a relation to the city of Los Angeles (WP:COMMONNAME) and is thus, not disambiguated enough.

South Bay, Los Angeles → South Bay (Los Angeles County) – Current name falsely implies that South Bay is wholly contained within the city limits of Los Angeles, so Los Angeles County is a more appropriate disambiguator. For U.S. placenames, commas are generally used only for official administrative divisions or city neighborhoods, so parentheses are better here.

• Support To be clear, according to the article, this is an area and not a city. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 14:23, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose, move to South Bay; move South Bay → South Bay (disambiguation). Just like the recent move at Talk:East Bay, the overwhelming majority (67%) of pageviews for "South Bay" topics are for the L.A. County area, and no other topic has more than 10%. The L.A. area also has the most long-term significance of those topics. No need to shuffle disambiguators when none is required. Dohn joe (talk) 15:35, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

  That's not a reason to oppose to the current move. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:18, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

• Oppose, support move to South Bay; move South Bay → South Bay (disambiguation). - parentheses imply a geography article but the emphasis is on community here. Agree that this should not imply that it is part of the City of Los Angeles. This community does not match political boundaries. Fettlemap (talk) 15:44, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
• Support. It's in L.A. County and not within L.A. City. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 15:30, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
• Support per nom indeed per the article its also in unincorporated places to. I actually think that the comma rather than brackets make sense but it seems that in the US (unlike Scotland like Eilean Mòr, MacCormaig Isles) only commas are used for settlements. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:18, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
• Support I agree that it's part of greater L.A. County. Barca (talk) 07:12, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

City of Avalon & unincorporated Catalina Island

Please include us as part of the South Bay - thank you. 66.225.124.96 (talk) 02:25, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Catalina is San Pedro Bay, South Bay refers to Santa Monica Bay. It is not included. Fettlemap (talk) 19:14, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
