39th Street (Kansas City)
AfDs for this article: 


 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Prod declined due to previous AFD under original name of 39th Street, which of course I didn't catch due to the name change. Sources are all unreliable. No notability found. Search found only directory listings for businesses on the street. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:51, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep This is a historic street of the city and there seems to be little difficulty finding sources which we might use to expand the article in accordance with our editing policy. Warden (talk) 22:12, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Editing policy is not relevant to a deletion debate. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:51, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * What sources? You mean the bajillion motel directories I found listing motels that happen to be on the street? The sources that say nothing more than "X is on 39th Street in Kansas City"? PROVE there are sources. Don't say "but there are sources!" unless you PROVE. IT. Is it really that damn hard?! Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:39, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The nomination and the previous post do not provide verifiable evidence of searches that failed, and another editor says that a "quick search" finds sources. Unscintillating (talk) 23:20, 3 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. A quick GNews search returned several articles which focus around the street. Here are three that I have added to the article.  Gongshow  Talk 00:24, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Thanks to Gongshow, the article has enough sources to demonstrate notability. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 00:35, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:GNG and can be verified.--Paul McDonald (talk) 00:58, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep as policy-compliant. --Nouniquenames (talk) 13:26, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment It helps to be notified that there was a previous AfD, but the nominator might also consider adding the template that shows previous nominations in an infobox.  Thanks, Unscintillating (talk) 23:01, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
