[edit] Notable residents

Many notable residents do not reside there at all. Most were born or grew up there but moved away. Some (like Afred Hitchcock) are deceased. The heading should perhaps be renamed Notable Leytonstonians?Phase4 22:45, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lifestyle section

Do we need an unsourced lifestyle section? It is well written but there aren't that many facts and some of those facts are not true. To add such a commentary section definitely needs citations. MLA (talk) 12:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

It's not particularly useful. Descriptions should be purely factual and cited. There are precious few locations without a Tescos these days, so not having one would be more notable! Kbthompson (talk) 14:24, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I'd also question the need for the long, uncited, list of people associated with Leytonstone. Some of them live in the area, some of them grew up there, some were born in Whipps Cross Hospital but have no other link to the area, some... who knows. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 13:50, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
