I removed Mark Martin from the list of notable residents and moved him to the Port Orange, Florida page. IIRC, he is a resident of the Spruce Creek Fly-In, which is associated with the latter town, not Daytona. - Aerobird 13:35, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
I think we can remove Bob Ross too. He's dead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.62.169.249 ( talk) 00:50, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Out-of-town media has been creeping into this article. The Orlando Sentinel was first, now there are a bunch of radio stations that are OUTSIDE of Daytona Beach, and located in nearby cities. Should all of these be listed in Daytona Beach? Should they be listed in their home cities only? How many times should the same media be listed in Wikipedia? Gamweb ( talk) 17:02, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
You are missing The Daytona Post, an online newspaper that covers news,events and politics in Daytona Beach. The only other news source, The News Journal is politicized too far to the left and fails to have a balanced view. see http://www.daytonapost.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.118.226.148 ( talk) 22:21, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
The passage regarding deaths from the tornado outbreak is erroneous. There was only one death in the Daytona Beach area during the outbreak, which was also the only death to occur in Volusia County. The Seminole-Volusia County tornado killed 13 persons in Seminole County, mostly in the Sanford area. There was one death at Rod and Silvi's (also known as Freddie's) Fish Camp on the Saint John's River near Lake Jessup, which lies on the Seminole-Volusia county line, however, this death is also listed as occurring in Seminole County. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.38.80.221 ( talk) 19:08, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Can somebody add a pointer to vacancy rates in Daytona due to gas price and housing downturn and its effect on tourism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.131.30.176 ( talk) 18:25, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
The sources cited are more about the use of eminent domain in general, and mention Daytona only as an example. The section appears to be pushing an anti-eminent domain message. -- Donald Albury 15:39, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
-Your point is that the resource links are too general. That has nothing to do with neutrality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.106.186.17 ( talk) 20:24, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
The sources cited talk only about Daytona Beach and don't mention any other city. It is very relevant to Daytona residents. They were the first two hits on google. If you can find a better article, the add it to the cite list. Plus the wikipedia paragraph does not say if eminent domain is "good" or "bad", so it is very neutral. If you want to change the wording to be more neutral, please go right ahead. It seems to be stated in a neutral, facts only fashion. The NPR podcast actually is from liberal public radio and NPR usually supports big government, so if anything, that cite is more pro-eminent domain than anti-eminent domain. It might be that your feelings on the subject make it seem non-neutral. Maybe the name of the section should be "Daytona Beach City Council eminent domain" instead of "controversy"? That would be an improvement. Actually, the spin is pro-eminent domain since it points out that the city considers it "good" to "redevelop" and "improve" a "blighted" areas. It is very interesting, in that there are only 2 cities that I am aware of that have taken land and buildings for private purpose rather than public purpose. That is why Daytona made national news.

OK, I added the city's point of view and it's pro-eminent domain argument for the area by linking in their artice: http://www.ci.daytona-beach.fl.us/cityhall/redev/plans/MAIN%20ST%20REDEV%20PLAN.pdf That cities article goes on and on about pro-eminent domain stance. Pretty useful to see how the city wants the area developed. Unfortunately, I couldn't find an article of similar length showing the arcade owners'and restaurant owner's point of view to balance the cities point of view. http://www.entrepreneur.com/magazine/entrepreneur/2005/january/74866.html is neutral; it does not say whether public or private control is better. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4760258 is also neutral and good for sight impaired wikipedia users. Can we remove the neutrality link now? anonymous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.131.25.50 ( talk) 16:44, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
"Wikipedia is not neutral, it is far right wing in most articles." That's certainly not the consensus except from Media Matters.-- TL36 ( talk) 02:32, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
I was under the impression that this "controversy" is already over with, since a lawsuit was settled between the City and the owner of the Arcade. "Old news." (I've been a Daytona Beach resident for over 10 years) Gamweb ( talk) 13:20, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Says who? Where does this infomation come from? I'm pretty sure you can drive on other beaches where the sand is frequently wetted and thus compacted. I would guess that even beaches with a lot of dunes usually have an area close to the water that could probably be driven on. I know that when I went to Daytona, it was not a novelty for me to drive on the beach, since I had done it many times before. Ufwuct ( talk) 21:28, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
While I do not know about other countries, due to State and Federal Laws, there are very few places in the US that allow beach driving. St. John's county, to the north of Volusia County, is one of them, I know for a fact. The fact remains, though, very few beaches in the US allow it.-- Vox Rationis ( Talk | contribs) 16:03, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
Per City of License, policy and regulatory issues strictly states a radio station MUST maintain a main studio within the vicinity of the broacast area; irregardless to what city it's licensed to. According to the station's site, www.wvyb.fm, their primary and only studio is located in Daytona Beach and not Holly Hill, where the signal is licensed, not transmitted. The station's style and format is based within the city of Daytona Beach. There for, it should be listed in partnership with the city of Holly Hill to give clarity. -- A3RO (mailbox) 23:58, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

I've removed the table with "combined data" and replaced it with data for Daytona Beach only. This is consistent with the Template:USCensusPop as used in numerous other cities (for instance, New York City does not contain the combination population with Brooklyn before the consolidation, nor does Philadelphia contain the entire population of Philadelphia county before consolidation, etc.) DemocraticLuntz ( talk) 12:35, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

You also might want to take another look at the article to ensure it sounds like a professional encyclopedia, in a process called copyediting (or proofreading, really). You can check WP:PRV under "General copyediting" for help in that sector. I think it turned out pretty well. It just needs a little work to move up the ranks.

According to [3], Daytona Beach is a sister city to Bayonne, France. Not sure how I could work that in, or even if it belongs at all, so I'll just put here for now. Recury 17:54, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
I couldn't see anywhere the origin of the name "Daytona" though I have wondered where it came from. Could the info be added? 2A01:CB05:3AC:8300:6889:883:8F68:8223 ( talk) 16:25, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
