I'd like to suggest several links relevant to Pomona history:

Would it be too much to ask to name the raceway, rather than the event? Trekphiler 13:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
"Encyclopedic content must be verifiable". This phrase is strategically placed at eye's veiw when you are editing, as to prevent the type of unverfiable babble that plagues this article, particularly the Demographics portion. Such phrases as "There is a historically significant concentration of blacks in the northern part of town, although many of them have continued to move east to places like Rialto and Riverside" is just the type of unfounded and arrogant assertion that I am referring to. It reads like a conversation with the town "know-it-all", full of pointless misinformation spouted off as if they are facts. If it cant be verified, it will be deleted. 69.225.127.48 06:24, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
^ this is true, please stop editing it to make Pomona look more child friendly. Prostitution is rampant. --24.69.9.116
I have lived in Pomona my whole life (im 26) and it is well known that Holt Ave. is infamous for prostitution, and I would frequently hear about police busts there. I have ever only seen a prostitute on the street once, but then again, i'm not out looking for them. ( Viewport 19:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC))
The demographics stated in the article are incorrect. I was born and raised on Pomona, (1952-1983), Ganesha High Class of 1971 and still go there quite often. I moved to Bakersfield in 1983 for a job I only recently retired from, and am seriously considering going 'home' to Pomona, weather reasons mostly. I notice in the "warnings' dialogue box about things like "There is a historically documented concentration of blacks in the north...." but I am not be any means being racist, bigoted, prejudiced, or any other preconceptions or agenda. Matter of fact I am 'black', to use the census form term, however I consider myself simply a citizen, as I detest profiling, or even keeping track, What's the use? What difference does it make? The article states the black population in the 2010 census as 48% white (sounds a bit low. more like 30%) and 7.8% black. By simple observation and experience living there for 31 years and still spending about 4 days a month in Pomona, that figure is off. Again, by simple observation, the race relations in Pomona have dramatically improved. We get along with 'whites' far better than in the 60's and 70's, but there is a minimum of 30% black, probably more, the remaining 40% Hispanic and Asian.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't there a Devry Institute in Pomona, Ca.? -- Camel20
Should Cal Poly Pomona be removed since it is not incorporated in the city of pomona? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.104.246.68 ( talk) 00:39, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Two sections full of trivia is too much. "Narcissism is the pride of Pomona." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.131.66.162 ( talk) 21:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
correct me if im wrong but Jill Kelly a porn actress and Cold 187um a rapper are both from Pomona and still why do people keep on deleting them. if you go their respective pages it states that both are from Pomona, CA— Preceding unsigned comment added by Vierko9590 ( talk • contribs) 18:09, 2 September 2008
I questioned the relevance of the Notable residents section in this article, but was quickly reverted because "the majority of these people are referenced." My point, however, was not that their residence is unverifiable, but that a list of mostly athletes and performers who happen to live or to have lived in Pomona does not seem, to me, to lend itself to an encyclopedic understanding of the city. The only person on the list that I recognize as having had a significant influence upon the city is Will Keith Kellogg, who donated the land for Cal Poly, and in whose honor Kellogg Hill is named. The rest just strike me as connective trivia that makes Pomona look like one of those sleepy hamlets or "bedroom community" suburbs about which there is nothing to say except "someone you may have heard of slept here."
My own opinion is that, as a general principle, unless one can write a well sourced sentence or two about a person's influence or impact upon the city then they ought not be mentioned in an article about the city. However, I recognize that my opinion is not supported by consensus at, e. g., WikiProject Cities and the Village pump as a general proposition, so relevance needs to be considered on a case by case basis.
As WP:NOTDIR says under Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics: "...there is nothing wrong with having lists if their entries are famous because they are associated with or significantly contribute to the list topic." Question: Is it the consensus here that Pomona is such a nowhere town that, for a famous name, just being there or from there is a "significant contribution"? ~ Ningauble ( talk) 19:19, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
