 * Weak delete. It's difficult to tell with this one because there's plenty of hits in GNews and GBooks, but most of them are things that happened to be located on the street rather than the street itself, so it's possible that the coverage of the street itself is buried. I did find a mention in Rough Guide book noting the street for its nightlife, but I don't think that's enough. However, the biggest problem with this article is that it's just a directory of businesses presently located there, which doesn't suit an encyclopaedia that keeps permanent records of things. The farmers' market probably would qualify as notable, but that a case for an article about the market. Unless someone wants to take a major rescue operation, this article doesn't really work here.

 * Keep The topic is highly notable, being covered in numerous sources such as those added since the nomination. For an example of another source which specifically covers the street in some detail, please see Aberdeen: an illustrated architectural guide which has a history of the street, starting, "Until the 1770s Belmont Street was an open pasture . . .".

 * Keep or merge somewhere. Checked revised article, this is a definite improvement. Still not fully convinced of the case for a stand-alone article (a merge to an article about an area of Aberdeen may be a better location), but it's out of the danger zone.

 * Keep per Chris. Doing some searching, this appears to a popular area for tourists/entertainment that also has a  long history.--Milowent • talkblp-r  14:01, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
