Moved from article:
(Note: The history was written by a former resident of Pahrump, and is a short synopsis of the history of Pahrump as remembered and told to the individual. As a result, there are going to be some historical inconsistencies, but most of it should be about right. There are a couple of books written about Pahrump, including "A History of Pahrump, Nevada"
ISBN
1-878138-51-0, among others, which should be consulted for a more formal study of the region.)
This is Art Bell's hometown. He the founder of the Coast To Coast AM radio show, is now a weekend host, mainly on Saturday and Sunday. Martial Law 22:06, 22 March 2006 (UTC) :)
Although the Wall Street Journal did report that Michael Jackson was living in Pahrump I have never seen any verification by other media outlets, and others have looked over the years. Apparently he looked at property in Pahrump but never bought anything. Here is an article from the las vegas sun https://lasvegassun.com/news/2008/jun/23/pahrump-pop-kings-refuge/ that refutes the WSJ story. -- Mikevegas40 ( talk) 14:42, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
While Michael Jackson almost certainly never lived in Pahrump, the late Melvin Dummar lived in Pahrump for a while and died in Pahrump. Melvin Dummar claimed that he saved Howard Hughes' life and a will later surfaced naming Dummar the biggest beneficiary of Hughes' estate. I am going to add him to the notable residents section. -- Mikevegas40 ( talk) 14:42, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
"In November 2006, the town council made it illegal for a flag other than that of the United States to be flown without the U.S.' alongside. The law is unconstitutional, but has yet to be challenged. It was passed alongside other measures to deny undocumented immigrants their constitutional rights [4]."
This is obviously POV, I dont know enough about the issue to do the correction myself. user:Pzg Ratzinger [08:42, 18 November 2006]
I think the text of the legislation is concise enough and should be reinserted. Also, since this is a very notable part of the city, it should have its own section. CoolGuy 05:16, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Just want to note another POV issue: "Originally inhabited by the Shoshone, it was discovered and slowly inhabited by American settlers in the late 19th century." How can something inhabited by Shoshones be discovered by American settlers? EoRaptor013 2008-05-16, 14:10 GMT-5
...the American settlers discovered it for themselves. There's no real implication that it was somehow undiscovered my mankind entirely before the American settlers came. That's like if I said, "I discovered this great restaurant on the other side of town." It's not like nobody else knew the restaurant existed. I'm not somehow offensively forcing my viewpoint on others that I'm the first person to know the restaurant exists. Come on now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.96.102.16 ( talk) 23:27, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
The reference does not seem to indicate the point trying to be made; seems to be definite POV as well as factually dubious. Nwebster84 ( talk) 18:17, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
The lead paragraph describes Pahrump as a "census-designated place," which I take to mean unincorporated. (The Nye County article says that there are no incorporated cities in the county, where Pahrump is.) Yet the place has a "town council" with the power to pass ordinances, implying that it is in fact incorporated. Do "unincorporated" places in Nevada nonetheless have some degree of local government below the county level? 64.85.240.2 ( talk) 21:33, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
In the “in popular culture” section, should it be added there is a game on Roblox partly set in Pahrump? On Sat Jul 8 2023 it has 974 people currently playing it and 71.7 million people have played it ever. I’m not sure if this is big enough to put there. I’m not the editing type of Wikipedia person.
