Vurbank train robbery

The Burbank Train Robbery (and hidden treasure) is mentioned in the crime section. I'm not sure it's legit. See http://wesclark.com/burbank/train_robbery.html - BTW, the Burbank Historical Society knows nothing about a Burbank Train Robbery... Jonah Begone (talk) 15:20, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the sections about the Burbank Train Robbery and the supposed hidden gold treasure. I did some research and I'm convinced that it was actually a Sun Valley Train Robbery. See http://wesclark.com/burbank/train_robbery.html (scroll to bottom). Jonah Begone (talk) 14:30, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced material in need of sourcing

I'm moving the following unsourced list of notable residents from the article here until it can be properly sourced per WP:V/WP:NOR, etc. I have also removed the completely unsourced paragraphs on Amelia Earhart and Jim Jeffries, as Earhart was not a resident, and Jeffries was already on the list. There's no reason for these two people to have entire paragraphs, and the rest of the notables not to, and if the material on Earhart's flights from Burbank is accurate, it can be added elsewhere in the article, and with sources. A section on residents isn't it. Nightscream (talk) 07:06, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

It would make sense to me if Burbank Police Department (California) was merged into this page. The article on the Police Department doesn't have anything in it to show why that particular department is independently notable, and any of the actual useful data (the current police chief, the areas it serves, etc) could easily fit in here, once some sources are found to support the data. I can personally see no real reason to have a separate article, and feel that a merger would be a pretty good solution. Rorshacma (talk) 17:14, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is a good idea, it doesn't make much sense for such a small article to exist when it can add more to the larger, more general article. Grammarxxx (talk) 18:06, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting Suggestion

Perhaps you could consider splitting off Early History and some of City of Burbank into History of Burbank, California and leave only a small History section with a

{{main|Burbank History}}

box?

Similarly, Burbank Mayors Should probably be split off into Mayors of Burbank, California with a similar tag? Korlus (talk)
