Article is about a street that appears to be non-notable for any major landmarks, historical impact, or anything else that would justify it having its own Wikipedia article. InDeBiz1 (talk) 05:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - apparently it's mentioned in a poem by Jorge Luis Borges, but that doesn't make it notable. Boregs' claim of Guatemala Street being the site of the "mythical founding of Buenos Aires" seems to be at odds with our article on the barrio. Our decision here should also be applied to Serrano Street, Paraguay Street and Gurruchaga Street. Huon (talk) 09:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This appears to be a clumsy interpretation of Borges, a well-known fantasist. The final lines of the cited poem in fact declare Buenos Aires to be eternal and not ever "founded" at all. In other words, the entire poem is metaphorical. It is certainly not a claim sufficient for our purposes. --Dhartung | Talk 23:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
