Birkenhead Street, London

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completely non-notable street. Was PROD'd in 2015 as non-notable per WP:HIGHWAY, but de-PROD'd almost immediately after without any rationale. I can find no sources to indicate that this street is notable in any way - it is merely a small street that connects to the A501 road. It is not part of the A501 (which would make it notable). &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 21:44, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: Non-notable road. The article says it is a part of the A501 road, but I can't verify such a thing. SL93 (talk) 17:13, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I was going to write delete to this ~100 m long relatively minor street opposite King's Cross Station. However while digging for sources, I found this excerpt from the 1952 London County Council Survey of London and this entry in University College London's Bloomsbury Project, which cites heavily from the 1998 book East of Bloomsbury (ISBN 9780904491401) by David A. Hayes. Both provide history about the street, and those references should be enough for an article on the Battle Bridge Estate. Whether that warrants keeping a separate article on a mainly residential road is still up for discussion. Fuebaey (talk) 01:49, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment, "it is merely a small street that connects to the A501 road. It is not part of the A501 (which would make it notable).", even then, remembering that WP:GEOROAD is a guideline, without good sources, consensus could make it a merge/redirect to A501 rather than a standalone article.

 * Delete. WP:MILL road, cites only poor sources.  Sandstein   14:03, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:MILL is just an essay and, in any case, is not applicable because this place in central London. This area is extensively covered in numerous histories and geographies and so is quite notable.  There is always an alternative to deleting a topic about London topography because one can simply merge up into a higher level article about the district or ward, which will usually exist and be notable.

 * Delete, or possibly rename and draftify. Thank you to  for researching possible sources.  I don't think there's enough there to justify an article on the street itself, but I could see moving the current article to Draft:Battle Bridge Estate where it could serve as the start (after deleting some trivia) of an article on the estate.  -- RoySmith (talk) 16:09, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:GNG, although an article on the Estate might be warranted.  Onel 5969  TT me 01:43, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
