Audubon Avenue (Manhattan)

Cannot find enough evidence of notability for this street. Being in Manhattan or named after a historical figure does not mean the street passes WP:GNG. Searching this street on Google does not come up anything significant about its history, meaning to the neighborhood, etc, just yellow pages and reviews for businesses and homes on the street. Searching it on Google Books also does not come up with anything notable, just travel guides or books that have a brief passing mention of it. The only source in the article is Yahoo Maps, which proves absolutely nothing and the parks website is outdated. I am also nominating the following related pages because they are also about Manhattan streets that lack evidence of notability or have little to no sources:

 * Keep - I would think all Manhattan streets, particularly the older more historic Lower Manhattan streets like these, wouldn't have question of notability. Bank Street is written more than "passing mentions" in several books including these -   and it was founding home and namesake to the iconic Bank Street College of Education. Beach Street and Audubon Avenue has an historic description in this book (non-viewable)   Further Beach Street and Audubon Avenue coverage in this book  and this book. --Oakshade (talk) 04:40, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete all. Even in Manhattan, not all streets are notable. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:42, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Opinions about other streets do not negate these topics having significant coverage and passing our guidelines like WP:NOTABILITY. --Oakshade (talk) 23:47, 3 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete all - Streets do not appear to be notable.  Dough 48  72  01:26, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I feel like I'm in Bizarro World with this one. Do you have any rationale that relates to our notability guidelines and why a source like this still make these "not appear to be notable"? --Oakshade (talk) 02:10, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep all In my opinion the notability of these historic streets has been demonstrated. Rotten regard       Softnow  20:50, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge Audubon Avenue to Washington Heights, Manhattan. Keep Bank Street. Merge Beach Street to Tribeca or Lower Manhattan. I can't find evidence of notability for either Audubon Avenue or Beach Street (I've viewed the Henry Moscow book and I don't think the coverage there is sufficient to impart notability to the individual streets), but there is a wee bit of information in both articles that could be beneficially incorporated into articles about the neighborhoods. Bank Street seems to be weakly notable, however, based on the sources cited in the article plus this one that Oakshade found. --Orlady (talk) 18:25, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Bank Street as major historic street in lower manhattan. This is one of the fdifficulties of join nominations: Bank street is more notabler than the others, both by location and history; Beach street less important, but in an historic area. Audubon Avenue, despite what is implied above, is not a historic street in lower manhattan, but an important residential street in upper manhattan. Personally, I think they should both be kept also, and I think the consensus ought to be that all significant streets in   major cities are notable, and all streets whatever in the historic and central districts, but this view has not been accepted. So for the other two, I'd say the best solution is merge DGG''' ( talk ) 07:00, 23 November 2012 (UTC).
