[edit] Notable inhabitants

I removed Mark Martin from the list of notable residents and moved him to the Port Orange, Florida page. IIRC, he is a resident of the Spruce Creek Fly-In, which is associated with the latter town, not Daytona. - Aerobird 13:35, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I think we can remove Bob Ross too. He's dead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.62.169.249 (talk) 00:50, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

A few them are. I didn't think that was a problem. They lived here at one time or another. Recury 02:28, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Media

Out-of-town media has been creeping into this article. The Orlando Sentinel was first, now there are a bunch of radio stations that are OUTSIDE of Daytona Beach, and located in nearby cities. Should all of these be listed in Daytona Beach? Should they be listed in their home cities only? How many times should the same media be listed in Wikipedia? Gamweb (talk) 17:02, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

I think we need to list the other TV stations that consider Daytona Beach in their coverage area (for example, all of the Orlando-based media: WFTV, WOFL, WKMG, etc., and anyway the market is called Orlando-Daytona Beach-Melbourne). Not including them in the article gives the impression that Daytona only gets NBC and PBS. -Bardiak (talk) 01:28, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tornadoes of 22-23 February, 1998

The passage regarding deaths from the tornado outbreak is erroneous. There was only one death in the Daytona Beach area during the outbreak, which was also the only death to occur in Volusia County. The Seminole-Volusia County tornado killed 13 persons in Seminole County, mostly in the Sanford area. There was one death at Rod and Silvi's (also known as Freddie's) Fish Camp on the Saint John's River near Lake Jessup, which lies on the Seminole-Volusia county line, however, this death is also listed as occurring in Seminole County. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.38.80.221 (talk) 19:08, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
