The claim that Bearsden "is known as being wealthy and perhaps snobbish" seems POV. Can we attribute it to someone? Bovlb 02:49, 2005 Jan 5 (UTC)
I have never heard Bearsden being pronounced BERS-den, maybe once on Jackanory as beersdn, my how we laughed.

I don't know how relevant this is but on a 1860's ordnance survey map the house marked Bearsden is a bowling green, presumably the one that's still there at the bottom of Pendicle. It appears New Kilpatrick changed its name to match the commuter railway station (garden suburb ref. Westerton) which in turn was named after the local bowling green. Perhaps the bowling club knows where the name came from. K Ramsay
I am not sure that section is appropriately encyclopedic. It's three individual things that are of dubious importance/notability (only one even claims a book about it), and it seems more like an entry for a travel guide than an encyclopedia anyway. Is this section really appropriate? FrozenPurpleCube 22:24, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
We cannot cite the pronunciation of Bearsden from a blog forum. Citing things from blogs is exactly the kind of thing that gives Wikipedia a bad name. Anyone of any and no expertise can post anything on such websites. And apart from anything else, from my experience, Bearsden can be pronounced in different ways by difference people, with the stress on first, second or even both syllables. However, "my experience" is just as notable as those of some guy replying to a blog; i.e. not at all. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 15:46, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The Westerton article is very short, and many items of relevence to Westerton are found on this page. The Westerton article requires extensive copy editing and contains unverified facts. I propose to merge that article with the Neighbourhoods section of the Bearsden article on or after 31st May 2010. Wikiwayman (talk) 11:27, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
An IP user attempted to add some information about this to the article. Unfortunately the contribution wasn't encyclopedic and was justifiably deleted. Nevertheless, the orchestra has a long history, is a registered charity and looking that their website, some information could be incorporated into the article to accurately reflect the leisure interests of Bearsden residents. If anyone would like help to do this properly, please contact me on my talk page. Wikiwayman (talk) 12:00, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps the history of sports and leisure section would be better merged into the leisure activities section?RafikiSykes (talk) 12:07, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
