Talk:Broward County, Florida
Um. Do we really need a listing for a town with no residents??? :) -- April 18:21 Nov 27, 2002 (UTC)
- I am reliably informed that there are cities with a population of 94 so I see no reason why such a major conurbation such as this should not be included... :-) user:sjc
Just because a place doesn't have any residents doesn't mean it isn't important. Most major central buisness districs in American downtown areas also have 0 residents. --mav

- Crystal Lake, Broward County, Florida - It's not a town...it's a lake. A small lake. Nothing really links to it, but it's listed in the List of places with fewer than ten people, but it actually is just a lake, and most lakes have fewer than ten people. See Crystal Lake Country Club for the only really relavant Google hit. There is a Crystal Lake Florida, but that's in Washington County, not Broward. So...unless this is a very interesting lake, it doesn't need an article here. Paige 19:44, 15 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- But for whatever reason the US census did list this location, otherwise the Rambot would not create the entry originally (see it's history for the full census data, that it has 0 families, 0 latinos etc.). Maybe it is the area around that country club which does not belong to any other town, and was thus counted separately. andy 20:06, 15 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- Hmmm. But the census data also says it conatins no land and none of it is covered by water, which means...it doesn't exist? There's clearly a paradox there. Either way, the question becomes: Should the Wikipedia become a repository for all census data? Is that the proper role of an encyclopedia? Paige 20:28, 15 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- Yes. See User talk:Rambot/Delete. RickK 01:05, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC)

- I've been pondering merging such lakes, etc, into Broward County, Florida. Martin 09:24, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I've implemented my ponderance. Objections? Martin 11:49, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC)
