reorganization

This article needs a major reorganization. Right now a large part of it has sections that go into detail about places like Diliman and Loyola Heights and Cubao... This is kinda like if the Philippines article mostly had sections going into detail about the individual regions. The article needs to focus more on sections like History, Economy, Demographics, Transportation, etc. See Ahmedabad, a recently featured article, as an example. Coffee 15:49, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

What's the deal with that? --Howard the Duck 15:23, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Education section

We should list 2 or 3 prominent educational institutions and split off the rest into a List of educational institutions in Quezon City. The entire section looks like a directory now. I will go ahead with this in a couple of days if there are no complaints. --Polaron | Talk 22:53, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I don't know if there's Wikipedia policy about avoiding very long grocery lists, which most Philippine-related Wikipedia articles tend to turn into. Of course, the key issue will be defining what criteria will be used in order to determine a particular institution's "prominence." Offhand, in my opinion, there are two "prominent" universities that ought to be listed here (the Ateneo de Manila and the University of the Philippines-Diliman). Adding other schools might result in the long grocery list we're trying to avoid. But then again, that's just my opinion, and I don't know if we can reach any consensus about particular standards of what "prominent" is.Rmcsamson 03:28, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

The section should be much more of a list than a paragraph. --Scorpion prinz ^{(Talk | contribs)} 14:02, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree, Scorpion prinz. --Kittenheel ^{(Contributions)} 12:06, 14 Jun 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I do agree that the article needs to focus also on the History of Quezon City. The article apparently is a travel guide. - RQ

I wonder why one of the places mentioned was called "Kamias-Kamuning". This never happened in history and even at present since Kamuning is a separate barangay from Kamias and has a significant part in the initial realization of the City. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.69.20.35 (talk) 15:09, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I think the information stating that Kamias is presently Project 5 is incorrect. Project 5 is actually Brgy. E.Rodriguez and not Kamias.kalibkib (talk) 01:25, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Demographics

It seems that until now, the current demographics of Quezon City are yet to be placed here. Any suggestions regarding this matter?

First "Malunggay" park

I added template reference and the only / most notable malunggay park in the countryThe Quezon City government opened on May 16, 2006, Vice-Mayor Herbert Bautista's "Halamanan sa Bakuran's", the first "malunggay (Moringa oleifera) park" in Tivoli Royale Village in Barangay Batasan Hills. The park will be a learning center for Quezon City urban poor resident about planting the "wonder vegetable."abs-cbnnews.com, QC opens 'malunggay park' --Florentino floro (talk) 09:11, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Quezon City is not a suburb

See: List of largest suburbs by population for the list of true suburbs.--Wambeter (talk) 07:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Quezon City is definitely not a suburb

I decided to delete the content where it mentioned that Quezon City is the 2nd most populated suburb. Note that Metro Manila has no defined city centre so its wrong to say that Manila is the centre while its neighbouring cities are its suburbs; the fact that alot of the Metro's economic and political activities happens outside The City of Manila. Does this make Tondo a city centre compared to the Makati CBD?

Quezon City like any other city does have its city centre and suburbs. The city would include Cubao, Diliman, Crame and so on. Then you have the inner city areas like The Project areas and La Loma. Areas like Fairview is more the suburbs. Themanilaxperience (talk) 06:34, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Novaliches isn't the same as Fairview.

I've been living in Fairview since 1989 and while I wasn't even in school yet then, I'm pretty sure Novaliches isn't the same as Fairview. Fairview is a barangay, and Novaliches is big enough to be a city. Fairview is right in the border of Novaliches adjacent to Sauyo.

Sections reorganization

I really think the article needs some reorganization. The History section must come first, as it is much shorter than the section on Subdivions/Districts, and per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Cities#Article-structure_guidelines. Jordz (talk) 18:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

lead image

I noticed that the lead image is currently Pugad Lawin. The Quezon Memorial is a better lead image since it represents the city and is a landmark. Themanilaxperience (talk) 05:57, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
