[edit] High school campus

I don't know how to work Wikipedia, but someone should say something about the Burnsville High School Senior Campus. I think it is very unique. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.81.168.105 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Low-Income Residencies=

"The median household income from the 2000 census is $57,965 and the city accepts low-income residencies." I am not quite certain what the second part of the sentence means. I do not believe Burnsville has its own independent program for providing affordable housing; however, some or many Burnsville landlords - as well as landlords in neighboring cities - accept county or state housing subsidies.

(removed insane rant that can be found in the older archive) I had written this statement because Burnsville had a low-income housing initiative but it has become more or less a willingness of the city to allow the minimum low-income requirement to exist instead of fighting it like other suburbs so the statement was stricken. Heart of the City actually features some Dakota County Public Housing Authority rowhouses but I'll get into that later. .:DavuMaya:. 04:30, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] brent lee

Brent lee was removed by user sheeet due to no evidence he was notable, or infact truly a bodybuilder. The formentioned user added insult to injury by insulting bodybuilding. This was removed. Davidjstang 23:38, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] U.S. City Template

This article doesn't conform at all with the Template for a U.S. City. The people who working on this article should take some time to see to this.--Daveswagon 09:26, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

((old post deleted from Sept, doesn't make much sense)) I have started conforming to U.S. City template, sorry no time to source right now but it's nothing too inflammatory. .:DavuMaya:. 02:47, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kevin Dixon

I took Kevin Dixon off the list of notable residents. He is a baseball player for a minor league team but I dont think that is notable enough by itself to be included in the article. Showers 23:35, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I would like a further disscussion on why kevin dixon should be, or shouldn't be, in the burnsville page, my vote would be yes. However i would like to hear a complete argument on why kevin should not be included. Davidjstang 19:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC) ;

Hence I belive this is a reason to be added to the notable list of residents and no real reason was added I added him to the list, there is proof he is actuly a player, see , [1] Thank you Davidjstang 23:51, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

That is not proof of notability. Notability requires that a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I have given this reason numerous times in my edit summaries and on my talk page. Until such proof of notability can be gained do not add him to list of notable residents. See WP:NOTE Showers 04:43, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I am inbetween on this. I will state though that he does NOT gain sufficient notability. I grew up with this kid, I don't think he very much cares if he's listed in the Wikipedia page of Burnsville. And minor league baseball is akin to an actor who appeared as "Police officer #3" in a movie, it's more a training ground stage for baseball players and having a mere position, allegiance or title does not make notability in WP. I advocate for removal. DO NOT change the page anymore until consensus has been reached here or I will have both of you blocked from this page for WP:Three revert rule. I need to hear more arguments now. (Let me also point out that this argument isn't not in any shape constructive for the actual page which is about Burnsville, not a Milb player). 64.122.208.184 18:51, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] David Stang

David Stang was put up on this page, this was supposed to be an insult, and has since been removed Davidjstang 18:27, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Red Linking

Please stop redlinking these "notables." They clearly are not notable but I've left them in since edit wars have ensued so frequently over them. And if they truly are notable in the eyes of whoever is vandalizing this page then go ahead and make them Wiki pages. .:DavuMaya:. 20:52, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I added them to encourage others to create articles for the people who are listed as notable in the article per WP:Red link. "Sometimes it is useful to create a red link to indicate that an article will be created soon or that an article should be created for the topic because it is about a notable and verifiable subject." In fact, I believe they don't meet WP:NOTE guidelines and should be removed. However, if they are notable then articles should be created. Showers (talk) 20:57, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
