Anaheim Boulevard

Not notable. City streets are not notable by themselves. Rschen7754 (T C) 21:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep This article can be notable if the page has a significant expansion. I'm not sure about two sentences, however. ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 22:25, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * That's not what notability means. --Rschen7754 (T C) 22:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Then I guess I have a different interpretation of notablity. Anyways, can the article stay if it's made longer? ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 22:28, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * If I write a pretty long article about the major road that leads to my house, can it stay in Wikipedia? Your definition of notability does not matter - this is Wikipedia, where we deal in absolute truth. It's either notable or it's not. And by the Wikipedia standard, it is not. --Rschen7754 (T C) 22:31, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I don't know if this road is notable; how do you know this one is not? Do you have references? ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 04:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Did you even read the link I put above? Lack of references makes it not notable. --Rschen7754 (T C) 04:20, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I have to say, it doesn't meet notability. It doesn't have any significant coverage, it's not famed. I've lived in Los Angeles for fifteen years come this spring, I know this city by heart. Perhaps if it were on the same street where Disneyland or another major theme park or attraction is, it'd stand a chance. We don't have articles for all the streets of every single city in Los Angeles county, either.  Lady   Galaxy  22:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - how "non-notable" is it? Is it up to the WP:50k standard of the top 7 or 8 streets in Anaheim? If so, I'd sway towards a keep/expand. If not, then I see no real reason why it's here. Grutness...wha?  00:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Is there a list of the Top 8 streets in Anaheim?  How are the rankings determined?  I suspect that this eventually turns into a state highway of some sort, and maybe it can be merged into that particular article Mandsford (talk) 03:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't believe such a list exists. It's really hard to say, Los Angeles is so crowded that even the "small" cities down here all have at least 40,000 people in them. If such a list were compiled, it would take a ton of research and we'd all be tied (ex. #1 would have... 900,000 people, and then #10 would still be coming in at 820,000 or whatnot). The fact that an airport is on the same street makes it a little trickier.  Lady   Galaxy  04:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * WP;50k's an approximation, but it's a useful one - all I'm asking is this: if you were to name the 7 or 8 most important streets in Anaheim, is it likely this street would be on the list? If the answer is a definite yes, then keep and expand; if it's a definite no, and there's nothing else notable about it, then it should go. No-one's asking for individual lists to be drawn up for all cities, or for all the constituent parts of LA, but it should be pretty easy to estimate whether this street is big enough to qualify. Grutness...wha?  05:36, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I know that you weren't asking for lists for every single city. That was an example, but it still goes. I was just saying, if they made a list — even if it were just for the most famous streets — it would take a lot of work and be really tricky. I don't know how this will work. Sadly I have to admit that I live in Los Angeles County, not in Orange County. I've been to Orange County a few times and they're both really similar as they only sit next door to each other, but I'm still not too familiar with that city. We need to find someone who lives there.  Lady   Galaxy  21:15, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Just another unremarkable urban arterial. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 05:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: As Los Angeles Street, this was part of El Camino Real and later US 101 and SR 72. I'm not sure how much can be said about it though. If this article actually contained useful information, I'd say to merge to Anaheim, but it's horribly written and incorrect (Fullerton Municipal Airport is nowhere near the road). --NE2 06:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails 50k - or redirect to US 101. Bearian (talk) 13:54, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The redirect would probably be to SR 72, but I'm not sure that's necessary. --NE2 05:21, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
