• Since it is a just a neighborhood of San Diego, California, shouldn't the name be Pacific Beach, San Diego, California? I know that is how all the neighborhoods for the City of Los Angeles are listed. BlankVerse ∅ 11:23, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. I also suggest Pacific Beach, San Diego, California, just like all the neighborhoods for Los Angeles.Zzyzx11 18:38, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • On second thought, let me get back to you on Pacific Beach, San Diego, California since I'm not sure about the general policy. At the very least, it should be renamed to Pacific Beach, California so it would be specific. Zzyzx11 18:46, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Looking at the articles in Category:Neighborhoods of the U.S., there does not seem to be a clear cut standard. In Category:Chicago neighborhoods, the articles are named "{NAME}, Chicago". But in Category:Neighborhoods of Honolulu, the articles are named "{NAME}, Hawaii". Category:Salt Lake City neighborhoods has it in the form "{NAME} (Salt Lake City)".

• Support weakly Pacific Beach, San Diego or the longer version with CA above would seem to be more wiki like from what little I have seen.Vegaswikian 09:17, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Move, please. "Pacific Beach" is too general, too confusing. Pacific Beach, San Diego seems like a fine target. Jonathunder 04:09, 2005 Mar 25 (UTC)
• Strong oppose Pacific Beach, California--implies it's a city. Pacific Beach, San Diego, California and Pacific Beach, San Diego are better, but are forms of disambiguation, and the disambiguation policy frowns on disambiguating when it's not necessary, which I believe is the case here. What would be at Pacific Beach if the neighborhood article is moved? Niteowlneils 01:57, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The state of Washington has a community and a state park named "Pacific Beach". I'm sure that general a term will be the name of other notable places as well. Jonathunder 02:13, 2005 Mar 26 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought so too, but even seeking "Pacific Beach" -"san diego" -california -washington -"pacific beach hotel" -ca -wa still gets only the SD neighborhood and the WA community (which cann be handled with top-of-page-disambiguation. Admittedly, my biggest issue is that I believe the move proposal was for invalid reasons. Niteowlneils 19:02, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Support weakly Either Pacific Beach, San Diego or Pacific Beach, San Diego, California would be fine with me. (Incidentally, Bomis was located in Pacific Beach when Jimmy and Larry started Nupedia.) Ted 17:01, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Decision

It looks like Pacific Beach, San Diego should be the new name. For the moment I won't do it myself – anyone can do it as it currently doesn't exist. violet/riga (t) 21:28, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Strong oppose Coastal towns in california —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mickquintana (talk • contribs) 07:14, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Not sure where to put this, but I removed external links because there was only one link to a commercial site with no useful information--just a front to sell hotel rooms and vacations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.19.236.160 (talk) 20:35, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Marijuana

The phrase suggesting it is generally acceptable to smoke marijuana anywhere in public in the city should be removed. I'm not sure how that ended up in the section, but I would have to disagree with that statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ace23NY (talk • contribs) 22:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Any citations for Pacific Beach, San Diego, California name?

Besides the current undocumented, unprofessional and unconventional convention of naming city community article names in Wikipedia according to the bizarre [[community, city, state]] format, is there any reason for this article to be named Pacific Beach, San Diego, California? In particular, are there any citations of official or common usage references to Pacific Beach with this name? --Serge 00:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Reword

"Pacifc Beach tends to cater towards a younger, more college-oriented crowd compared to downtown San Diego. Dress codes are rarely enforced, if at all." Downtown has many up-scale bars, clubs, and restaurants--some with strict dress codes. I would think people who spend more money at nicer clubs and bars would be more college educated than pacific beach (because most people who make enough money to party at nice places are usually college educated). Moreover, there are more 'dive bars' in pacific beach than in downtown. I suggest re-phrasing it to say that pacific beach has more college students rather than college oriented. I used to live downtown and if you are not living in east village you have to be college oriented/educated, else how are you going to afford to pay for the high rent?

Installing Ashtrays to Discourage Smoking?

"To help promote a new smoke-free environment, the Surfrider Foundation is installing 30 outdoor ashtrays along Ocean Beach and soon Pacific Beach." Wait, doesn't that mean people will have somewhere to smoke? It kind of implies that smoking is allowed, and possibly even encouraged...? _{The preceding signed comment was added by StonedChipmunk and you can contact them here.} 00:02, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Bars and Nightlife

This section is getting dangerously close to violating WP:NOTTRAVEL. Try not to go overboard. – Wdfarmer (talk) 05:17, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
