Talk:Piedmont (California)

This needs some work and expansion. It's not a very big sort of town, but the little information here about getting in is woefully out of date. I'm adding it to my list. L. Challenger (talk) 05:16, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Plans Vs. Reality
The reality of Piedmont is - no hotels or hostels. No bars. No shopping aside from one very overpriced general store. There's a couple of pretty places to see, a couple of parks, but that's about it. Unless a visitor has someone that they're meeting there, or some business in town - there's very little reason to visit. L. Challenger (talk) 09:57, 22 November 2018 (UTC)


 * I suggest we merge to Oakland, the city which completely surrounds Piedmont. In fact, there isn't much that needs to be merged – maybe just the Piedmont Hills and Piedmont Park, if that. —Granger (talk · contribs) 10:50, 22 November 2018 (UTC)


 * On looking at it and the town in general - there's one point of reference and it's a small park in the center of town. That's it. It's a pretty place, but it would just get added as a note among Oakland's existing parks. L. Challenger (talk) 22:26, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Merger proposal
As discussed above, Piedmont is a small very wealthy bedroom community with no attractions, destinations or anything to interest most that would visit the place, beyond someone who was visiting for specific business. No hotels, bars, and little to see or do beyond one pretty but modest central city park. It is as also stated 100% surrounded by Oakland itself. L. Challenger (talk) 22:41, 23 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Support as above. —Granger (talk · contribs) 23:25, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Merger, Small Town.... Now what?
So, there's a discussion (such as it is) over at Piedmont - because it's a very small town with very little outside of houses, and it's surrounded on all sides by Oakland - which is a full-sized city with a lot of work put into it. The very few details will be very simple to add to Oakland's listing, so.... Now what? L. Challenger (talk) 02:13, 24 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Go ahead. Merge and redirect to Oakland. Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:00, 24 November 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure how to do this - and I'm not sure I have the permissions needed to do it myself - I can do a Move, but it only works if I am moving it to either a redirect or a blank unedited page. L. Challenger (talk) 10:38, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * It also does not help matters that there's really nothing on Piedmont's side to merge - there's a note about what is a small city park, and there's some very outdated information on transit to and from the place - I am thinking that it's just going to wind up being a redirect to Oakland, since there's zero usable travel info to merge to be perfectly honest.

 * I had a feeling that might be the case. In that case, just replace the content of the Piedmont article with "#REDIRECTOakland" . —Granger (talk · contribs) 11:08, 24 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Done! L. Challenger (talk) 23:08, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
