The census does list Dearborn as having the largest percent in the US. The problem is the census allows you to pick Arab or something else. It's like Hispanic. In Los Angeles they have a large number of Iranians but they call themselves Persians. Dearborn certainly doesn't have the largest community. Because they have a large percent they do have a little influence, but some of the Persians in LA are quite wealthy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.107.252.172 (talk • contribs) .

What does "Dearborn is also home to the largest Arabic community outside of the Middle East" mean? The article already states there are more Arab Americans in New York. England, France, Algeria, and Indonesia also have huge muslim communities, there are over 600 000 in London alone. -- Corvus 9 July 2005 16:52 (UTC)
There are more Arabs in Montreal alone than in Dearborn. Just the Lebanese in Montreal is 50,000, this does not even include the other arabic nations. It should also be noted that 80% aprox. of the Arab population in the United States is of Christian faith. -- Eternalsleeper
It should have stated largest concentration per sqaure mile.
Only 30% of Dearobrn's adult population is Arabic. As for the children, that is another story.
Sorry, I haven't got a source either, but the following has often been confirmed to me as correct: "Arabs" in general apart, Dearborn is the second largest Syrian city in the world after Damascus. The Detroit "leakage" of Muslims when it looked as if the city was going to become all African-American was of Syrians, most of whom didn't go very far - hence the lavish mosque in London, Ontario.
Many of these people listed as Dearborn natives are noted as being born elsewhere if you look at their individual wikipedia articles. Cyberdrip (talk) 20:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
There is a reference in the article to "de facto segregation". Does this mean to say "de facto exclusion of Blacks"? There was nothing notable at all about segregation (races living in separate parts of town) in a Northern U.S. city up to the 1960s (and it's really not all that uncommon even today), but complete or near-complete exclusion would be notable. I ask because someone has added Dearborn to sundown town saying to see the article, which I did, and it doesn't really say this. Nor, as far as I can see does it provide a citation. - Jmabel | Talk 23:55, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Jews were unwelcome in Dearborn at least up until the late 60s, when my father-in-law was most unwelcome, living as a closeted Jew. My wife, although not technically Jewish, was enthusiastically unwelcomed also. For all I know, Jews may be still. OR, but if anyone cares, there may a source somewhere. Kind of grotesquely ironic the way it turned out.Jackaroodave (talk) 13:39, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
Does anyone known what sources were used for the historical timeline? Just curious because the timeline states that Greenfield Township annexed part of Springwells Township and then vice versa a few years later. This sound very odd because, AFAIK, it is not possible for a township to annex land from another township. Townships are not incorporated muncipalities and do not have the power to annex land -- their boundaries are determined, first by the state and secondarily by the county. It might perhaps be possible that state or county authorities adjusted the boundaries of the townships, but I would be extremely interested in any verifiable sources that indicate the townships "annexed" land from another township. older ≠ wiser 00:29, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Removed paragraph about the henry ford museum being A) the most popular tourist attraction in michigan, and B) the largest indoor/outdoor museum complex in the USA. Both of these are incorrect. If someone can cite sources verifying this information, it should be reentered.
The article would be better if more items from the timelines were incorporated into narrative. There are too many details.--Parkwells (talk) 16:17, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Removed the line "In January 2005, a new Arab American National Museum opened to mark the ethnic group's history and contributions to this country." Arabs offer no contributions to this society in any way, shape, or form. If this is incorrect, which it isn't, please cite your sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CBrandt1337 (talk • contribs) 05:29, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
This line is without a source, and seems blatantly racist: The Arab American population has settled primarily on the city's eastern side, though in recent years it has expanded west. This has been dubbed by local westerners as the "Brown Plague".
Unless it has a citation, it should be removed. As stated in the post above me, racism is not allowed on Wikipedia. 166.205.7.19 (talk) 20:09, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

with the new events that occurred today involving terry jones' imprisonment and the protest controversy, I expanded the short section on the religious free speech controversies with additional citations to the actual videos and news reports about the goings-on. I also added a short section on the controversy concerning Terry Jones, citing the detroit news article for the information. due to this addition, I made a subheading under "popular culture", where the original info had been. If there are any qualms about the sources or violations of the npov wikipedia policy, please discuss them here, as I am sure that there will be additional controversy over these events in the future, and would prefer not to have to request that the page be locked due to a editing war by biased third parties.

== Religious free speech controversies
I removed the racist uncited First paragraph The "Religious free speech controversies" section is pretty bad in its current state. It seems to be the most contested part of the page, with changes in an attempt to remove the NPOV.

An editor keeps removing mention of this Dearborn business based on the reasoning "I don't want it here". Considering that this business has it own referenced Wikipedia article and is quite a large bank, I feel that it should be mentioned in the business section here.

1. Please add a link from the word "Springwells" to Springwells_Township, i.e. Springwells. 2. A new page should be created for defunct Dearborn Township, probably named Dearborn_Township,_Michigan similar in format to the Greenfield_Township,_Michigan page. 3. At "... the American Revolutionary War.[8] The village of Dearbornville was established in 1836 ...." change to "... the American Revolutionary War.[8] Population growth led to Dearborn Township being formed in 1833 and the village of Dearbornville within it being established in 1836...." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.11.169.223 (talk) 21:05, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

The "historical population" box lists Dearborn's 1940 population as 63,589. Is that certainly correct? This data sheet compiled by a project at Stanford University gives the population as 63,584, and agrees exactly with the current "historical population" box for other recent years. 160.79.8.82 (talk) 17:18, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

I think there are enough Arts / Cultural / Historical places in Dearborn (pretty high per-capita actually!) that we should have an Arts And Culture section like many other city pages do. Would that be OK? Then the list of places could just link to the pages.TAPwiki (talk) 18:21, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
