This is difficult, because I don't speak Bulgarian. I couldn't establish that this street meets WP:NPLACE, WP:GNG or any other aspect of WP:NOTABILITY. It has been tagged as such for over 3 years (tagged by MilkStraw532. It has mentions online/in the news, but not enough that I am convinced it is notable. Boleyn (talk) 19:20, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

• Keep - WP:GNG explicitly permits the use of non-English sources as evidence of notability. Just a few seconds of searching yields plenty of coverage from the likes of Bulgaria Dnes, bTV (Bulgaria) and TV7 (Bulgaria). [1][2] [3] That's probably why Andreas Philopater de-prodded the nom's prod. English language editors not speaking a foreign language or not bothering to do a translate of web-available foreign language work is not a reason to delete an article. --Oakshade (talk) 04:41, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
• Comment Oakshade, there is no need to be rude. From reading my nomination, you can see that I have written that it has mentions online and in the news. My concern is whether they meet the criteria of being significant mentions and whether the mentions add up to WP:NOTABILITY. Boleyn (talk) 06:26, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

• By reding your nomination you indicate that you didn't know if it was notable because you "don't speak Bulgarian." Not being being able to determine the significance of coverage in non-English sources, or not even trying to (see WP:BEFORE), is not a reason to AfD an article. AfD is used when we truly believe a topic doesn't merit an article. --Oakshade (talk) 03:51, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

No, that's your total misreading. I stated that 'this is difficult, because I don't speak Bulgarian.' That is a little different from 'This should be deleted, because I don't speak Bulgarian.' The rest of my discussion - ' It has mentions online/in the news, but not enough that I am convinced it is notable' shows clear WP:BEFORE. Please don't assume bad faith and bite people's heads off based on your misreading. Boleyn (talk) 06:07, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Keep This road seems to be on a par with roads such as Norodom Boulevard, which is notable. If sufficient sources can be found, as users above have indicated they can, then there is no reason this article cannot be kept and expanded. Rcsprinter¹²³ (relate) @ 09:45, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

• Keep per Oakshade and Rcsprinter123 - Nominating because "you don't speak Bulgarian" is pretty much disruptive - I don't speak German so should we get rid of every German-related article on here?, Anyway even I have found sources [4][5], Think I might go and nominate Hohenzollern Castle on the basis that I can't read German... –Davey2010^Talk 17:17, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

  Davey2010, you've completely misread my words, which I have also clarified above. I in no way said that I nominated this because I don't speak Bulgarian. Happy to withdraw nomination accepting the assessments above. Thanks to everyone who commented on the notability of this article. Boleyn (talk) 17:29, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

• Boleyn - It too me honestly reads like "I don't know the language so I'll nominate it", I sincerely apologize If I'm wrong but that's how I perceived it to be, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 17:42, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
