Rosamond Street[edit]

Not a notable street as far as I can determine. The article as it stands is full of original research and unverified claims to notability. Longhair\^talk 07:49, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, had a bit of a look on Google Maps, and it appears to be an unremarkable suburban street. Simply having a few marginally notable buildings on it (which we don't seem to have articles for) doesn't make it notable itself. Note to closing admin, if the consensus is delete, the redirect from Mt Wilga ought to be deleted or pointed at some other article. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 10:09, 30 August 2008 (UTC).[reply]
Delete Nothing suggests this street has adequate notability for WP. Having notable buildings, and notable geographic features, and having had notable TV series filmed on site, don't provide notability for the street. The statement "the origin of the name is unsure" is most unencyclopedic. Dolphin51 (talk) 11:53, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Move along, nothing to see here. ~ Ningauble (talk) 17:06, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Change Name. Can I just add that although the street itself may not be notable, many of the buildings structures and people associated with the area are. THere was a bridge there that was once the longest suspension bridge in the British empire. THe area also has numerous links with the Australian architect Marcus Clark, and the area contribute's to much of Hornsby's (the suburb) history. The name could be changed to Mount Wilga or something, at least. n i m b u s a n i a 02:13, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I apologize for my unconstructive wisecrack of a "vote" above. More seriously, the article looks like a coatrack for a biography of Marcus Clark with a history of Mt. Wilga Manor and notes on its environs. A name change could make it a stub for the history of the community, if its history is generally notable. ~ Ningauble (talk) 00:47, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I see what you mean about the article being a coatrack. I mean, the part in the article where it states that the street was 're-tarred' for the road to last longer is a bit too minor for an encyclopedic entry. I understand what you mean. But I still think the article should be moved to another name. perhaps Mt. Wilga? n i m b u s a n i a 01:40, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete For a start, the whole thing is completely unreferenced, so therefore no notability has been demonstrated. Second, it certainly does look like a coatrack, especially with developers now wanting to make money from projects in that street. Delete the article. Don't bother with renaming it.--Lester 08:55, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
