The result was delete‎. The keep argument doesn't address the issue over sourcing and if you have sources we can revisit this but otherwise the policy argument is that this isn't sourced Spartaz ^Humbug! 08:01, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No refs on the page for many years, nothing to show why this street is notable. I don't speak the local languages but I'm not seeing anything much on ca.wiki which would help show notability here. JMWt (talk) 17:35, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I can't think of any reasons why a 1.2km long street in the historic centre of an historic major city wouldn't be notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:27, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

wait, so every street of over 1km long in every city in the world is notable? Where's the policy to that effect? JMWt (talk) 13:41, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment streets in pre-20th century developments of major (compact) cities are generally covered by sources adressing them. I've just cited a very brief one (because it is a very old source, and thus freely available, but close to the creation of the street, but there are surely "streets of Barcelona"-like (or "streets of Eixample"-like) works which are more recent and deal with the street in a more extensive fashion).--Asqueladd (talk) 18:27, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see. So WP:TMBS..? JMWt (talk) 19:06, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did look for and cited some online sources. You also have Espinàs, Josep Maria (1961). Carrers de Barcelona. Editorial Selecta..--Asqueladd (talk) 21:51, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Did I say that or are you putting words in my mouth? -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:06, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So what did you mean when you said " I can't think of any reasons why a 1.2km long street in the historic centre of an historic major city wouldn't be notable."?

Which streets over 1km long in which city would not be notable, according to you? JMWt (talk) 10:14, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Did I actually say "every street of over 1km long in every city in the world is notable" then? Please reread what I said and try not to make things up. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:26, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So either a) give reasons why this specific street is notable or b) give reasons why all streets of this kind would be notable. You can't have it both ways. JMWt (talk) 12:31, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've already said why above. Major street in the historic centre of a major historic city. Honestly, do we need to repeat everything twice here? -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:19, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's a) not a policy based rationale and b) not usable as almost every city is "historic" and c) a claim that there "must be sources". JMWt (talk) 15:02, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
