Copper Square was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 17 April 2018 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into Downtown Phoenix. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here.

Urban Renaissance[edit]

This article should reflect a larger geographical area than just focusing on Copper Square. The Phoenix city government has described such boundaries for major redevelopment projects in its City of Phoenix Consolidated Plan for 2000-2005 [1]:

"The Downtown Redevelopment Area project boundaries extend from 7th Avenue to 7th Street; and from McDowell Road to the railroad properties north of Lincoln Road. The Downtown area contains approximately 11/2 square miles." [2]

The article, as of this writing, has been flagged as needing clean-up (removed flag because there was no specific mention of what needed work; besides, I'm on it), unverified claims and not citing sources. Much of the information in the article deserves this criticism. The topic of Copper Square might deserve its own article.
The article would also benefit from work to help reflect this redevelopment that is taking place downtown. With the art walk and arts district, shopping and some of the best food and drink to be had in the valley, there is a great deal of content left untouched. Some PD images might be found here. azwaldo 17:21, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peacock Terms[edit]

I've noticed a lot of the syntax includes phrases like "pierce the skyline" and "in the entire state of Arizona". This article needs some major editing to emiminate that sort of language. Pirchlogan (talk) 19:46, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Roosevelt Row[edit]

I removed the word "emerging". This seems like an advertisement for condos, trying to persuade people to get in now while it's cheap. The has long been recognized as historic and has had an art walk since 1994. The neighborhood may be undergoing development but the language is not neutral.Warrenking (talk) 03:50, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

TGen and biosciences[edit]

Need to add info about TGen and the biosciences research roadmap in this area. Organizations include TGen, IGC, The NIH NIDDK, ASU, UofA,... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.160.3.51 (talk) 06:07, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sarcasm[edit]

HAHA SOMEBODY PLEASE EDIT THIS ARTICLE. it legitimately seems sarcastic. "pierce the skyline".... haha a variety of skyscrapers... please tell me this is a joke. i would've thought you were talking about new york or hong kong. this sounds ridiculous. please please please edit this. phoenix's downtown is laughable for a city its size. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.165.21.32 (talk) 03:23, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The solution is to find what other people say about Phoenix in reliable sources. 216,165, see if you can find a journalist say "Phoenix's skyline is like ..." WhisperToMe (talk) 02:23, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
