Do we really need an article on this? This seems more like it's someone's community college essay. There are lots of food deserts in America, this one is not special. --Therealelizacat (talk) 22:17, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
- I agree. Most of it has nothing to do with Food Deserts. The relevant part could be merged into the general page on food deserts. I don't know what one would do with the rest if not deletion...Skingski (talk) 05:52, 3 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)
- Slimming down page to prepare for merger. And yes, it clearly is someone named McClintock's essay here.Skingski (talk) 04:22, 18 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)
- Deleting sections that are not specific to West Oakland. Some info will be merged into the main page on Food desert.Skingski (talk) 04:54, 18 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)
- Moved sections into Farmers' market and Supermarket shortage as noted.Skingski (talk) 16:54, 18 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)
I just realized, THE key measure of a food desert is distance to a store that offers healthy food. No evidence is provided whatsoever to establish that this is true. So the title of the article page is unsupported.Skingski (talk) 14:46, 18 July 2017 (UTC)(talk) <End of discussion>
