1st Street (Taylor, MI)
See also Articles for deletion/List of streets in Taylor, Michigan. Article doesn't tell anything about the road which cannot be gleaned from reading a map. Wikipedia is not a road map. Delete. - Mgm|(talk) 10:33, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment there's a different between an article for a major thourougfare and streetcruft like this. There were a bunch of AfDs a copule of months back about various streets in Toronto.  The net result was that only the major arterial roads (and not all of these), as well as "important" shopping and cultural steets were kept.  And even after that purge, Toronto seems to have a loweb bar for street notability that most other cities on Wikipedia.  According to the article, ths little street runs 4 blocks, and was the article was likely created only because someone found it as a redlink on List of streets in Taylor, Michigan  (which is also on AfD).  I would suggest that a good guidline for streets might be that if there is nothing more to say about them than can be learned from a map, then they don't deserve an article.  But perhaps we should have a Centralized discussion on notability for steets?   Jamie (talk/contribs) 02:20, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
