This is a neighbourhood street in Edmonton. It is not all that notable. Rufus843 (talk) 01:21, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless you can find the Beatles crossing it on an album cover. Wikipedia is not a directory. Qworty (talk) 03:19, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hard to see how such a street is notable, though I see it's in the Edmonton street template. I'll raise this on the talk page. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 03:30, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The street template is simply a list of streets in Edmonton that have articles. I never understood why this small street had an article. 117Avenue (talk) 03:47, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. When a guy whose usename is an Edmonton street says it's non-notable, you know you've got problems. 117 when the link goes red, let's pull it from the template. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 04:07, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I like your name too, saying who you are and where you are. I was planning on deleting this article when I got back to working on Edmonton streets. 117Avenue (talk) 06:36, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. Actually a number of streets in the template are needed to be pulled too. SYSS Mouse (talk) 04:28, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What articles to you have a problem with? When I joined Wikipedia the list was incomplete, I figured that the criteria for making a city street notable was that it was an artery. 117Avenue (talk) 06:36, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

People have tried to hash out what constitutes a notable street, most recently here Wikipedia:Notability (streets, roads, and highways). The general, although unapproved, consensus is that a street has to have a "hook", or to just pass the WP:GNG. Abductive (reasoning) 03:45, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Just another one of the world's millions of short residential streets. Nothing to indicate notability. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 01:19, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No claim of notability. No sources about the street. Abductive (reasoning) 03:45, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Very clearly doesn't meet notability standards for a street, even if its 1.7 km of asphalt is quite pleasant to drive.--Milowent (talk) 21:42, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
