Beak Street (Manhattan)
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Very small road in northern Manhattan (only one block long) that has no inherent notability. Was previously nominated for deletion in Articles for deletion/79th Street (Manhattan); the result was "keep", but this road is nowhere near as major as all the others in that group.

 * Neutral, for now. Even 1 block streets can be notable and being in "northern Manhattan" is not a valid reason to delete an article.--Oakshade (talk) 02:50, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment The article already has one source that isn't a random database and the text implies it might have historical significance. Perhaps we should ask CORNELIUSSEON if there's any chance of expansion. - Mgm|(talk) 11:10, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete -- We cannot have an article on every street in every city in every country in the world. This is (as far as the article goes) a NN street, and the article must be deleted unless substantial notable information can be provided on it.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:48, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and comment immediately above. --Triadian (talk) 23:16, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep there are sources from which we might be able to add history. Nowhere near as major is not a criteria for deletion last time I checked. Weak because I'm not going to have a ton of time to work on this. StarM  01:52, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a travel guide, and the article fails to demonstrate how or why this street could possibly be conceived as "notable" within the context of an encyclopedia.   coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  19:50, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
