Talk:Havertown, Pennsylvania

Relevant?

I would question the relevance of the statement that "Leonard Insurance Group insures more rowing equipment than anyone in the world." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rarara51 (talk • contribs) 04:53, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

cOMMENTS

I'm somewhat skeptical about some of the claimed current or former residents. Is there any way we can verify some of these? For example, if you google "", supposedly a noted writer, you get basically nothing. Djiann 16:54, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Comments Part 2

1. Why is there any mention of Brookline, Penfield, Ardmore etc? 2. The history of Haverford Township is separate from the history of this zip code. Havertown and Haverford Township are not interchangeable. 3. Historic roads also needs to be removed, Havertown and Haverford are not the same thing, Haverford Road is located in Wynnewood, Ardmore and Bryn Mawr, NOT in Havertown.User:Mjp1305 16:54, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Aha! No article, no mention. I deleted all those without articles. Thanks for spotting that. - CobaltBlueTony 17:06, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Sixth Sense?

This article states a "large" partof the Sixth Sense was filmed in Havertown. To my knowledge none of it was. It was filmed nearby, but where in Havertown was any of this filmed? This was edited from "small" to "large" but should probably be deleted. Any sources? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaazmar (talk • contribs) 20:12, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

There was no part of the finished film "The Sixth Sense" filmed in Havertown or Haverford Township. There is one scene that was filmed in adjacent Lower Merion Township: the memorial wake at the home of the girl who was murdered by her mother. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.61.205.150 (talk) 23:55, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I grew up in havertown. The story when "The Sixth Sense" came out was that the scene where the kid and Bruce Willis' character are on the bus going to the memorial wake was filmed on Darby Road in Havertown. But it has been a number of years since I last saw the movie. It could not be described as a "large" part of the film. If being in a 20 second scene of a movie is notable enough, maybe it should be mentioned that in April 1996, then Presidential candidate Bob Dole visited the town. (I was there, but here's a source http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A03E0D61139F935A25757C0A960958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all ) CatPieMan (talk) 00:44, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

While saying a "large portion" of the Sixth Sense was filmed in Havertown is completely false, I can attest that the birthday party scene was indeed for a Haverford Middle School student and my understanding was that it was filmed at his house. --173.62.160.138 (talk) 00:05, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

the rule

"the rule is that people mentioned here must have an article of their own" Can someone give a reference to this rule in the Wikipedia help pages? Thanks217.44.176.159 (talk) 13:13, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Notable People

Under "Notable People", James Rolfe is stated to be from (or reside in) Havertown, but I have found no evidence of this on his Wikipedia page, other than that he lived in "Philadelphia", and there is no citation attached. Did/Does he actually live in Havertown? ItsDaBunnyYT (talk) 16:14, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

This article is pretty much wrong

Where to start..... 1. History: This is the history of Haverford Township, NOT Havertown, this is a direct contradiction of the first section, stating: " The name "Havertown" does not appear until the advent of the ZIP Code in the early 1960s..." How can the history, going back to the 1600's have anything to do with "Havertown"?

This whole article needs to be condensed to simply refer to the advent of the zip code 19083 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjp1305 (talk • contribs) 13:15, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
