As a resident of this neighborhood for most of the last two decades, I think it really should be titled the Lower Haight, not the Haight-Fillmore. As persuasion, note a Google search for "Haight-Fillmore" (in quotes) receives 683 hits; a search for "Lower Haight" (in quotes) gets 137,000 hits. Clearly, the more used and accepted title is Lower Haight. I'll probably go ahead and make the change, but thought I'd see if anyone else is watching this page and has good reasons not to.

No one calls this the "haight fillmore" it's the lower haight. Paul E. Ester 14:02, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
OK, I've moved it, and changed the main Categories page, too. MrRedwood 20:45, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Does Axum still exist? I really should wander the neighborhood with a notepad and check the list. MrRedwood 21:42, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm having trouble with links to the Lower Haight. Is this because the page was just Moved? The short links (which actually go to a redirect page, right?) don't work, whereas the links to the fully-qualified Lower Haight do work. But with a similar page, links to the redirect of Haight-Ashbury work just as well as the full links to Haight-Ashbury. What gives? MrRedwood 22:52, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- There was no page at "Lower Haight" I just created it with a redirect. The proper form for linking in articles is as you described using the fully qualified name without a redirect. Either will work now. --Paul E. Ester 23:16, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Geography
I just changed the "Geography" section defining the eastern end of the Lower Haight from Market St to Webster St. Practically every web source I've come across (SFGate, SFStation, etc.) defines the Lower Haight as extending to Webster and that seems about right having walked through the neighborhood many times. Of course, that excludes the Zen Center, which is on Laguna. (Laguna would be a perfectly reasonable eastern boundary too, but I haven't seen a published source stating this.)
It would probably be best if someone could find an "official" boundary for the neighborhood from a source like the Lower Haight Merchant's Association or SF Realtor's Association.
Also, what exactly the neighborhood south of Hayes Valley, east of Lower Haight, and north and west of Market St is called, or if it even has a designation, I'm not clear about. Peter G Werner 20:25, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- I've rewritten it again to include several definitions of where the eastern end of the Lower Haight lies. I've also provided the rather narrow demarcation that the SF Association of Realtor's makes. I'd still like to find the "official" definition that the Lower Haight Merchant's Association uses.
