Blenheim Avenue

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Apparently random, "dead-end" road in Hong Kong. No notable history or other geographical details - by my assessment this fails WP:GEOROAD. /Tpdwkouaa (talk) 03:25, 21 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment - Not going to vote on keeping or deleting right now, however going to say that the user who created this article (Wishva de Silva) has made a number of other similar articles, including Hart Avenue and Hanoi Road (both appear to be minor streets, but I wouldn't know about their notability). There's also a lot more similarly-structured short articles like these listed at List of streets and roads in Hong Kong. There could be a long list of these types of articles incoming for deletion if it's decided that more than just the above be deleted. WaddlesJP13 (talk &#124; contributions) 05:04, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Very good point, though it is still worth noting that due diligence should be performed on the part of anyone who wishes to scan through those articles prior to AfD-ing, and it should also not be assumed that all of that user's articles are suspect without a fair assessment. I didn't just nominate this article because of the lack of sources, but because after searching for any suitable references to the road I was unable to find any. Not to say that you were implying either, of course, but it's worth specifying here for any onlookers who choose to pursue that assessment. /Tpdwkouaa (talk) 16:36, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment - this looks like it fails WP:GNG and doesn't meet any presumption of notability under WP:GEOROAD. Having said that, there have been many recent AfDs on Hong Kong roads all of which have been rescued and kept by User:Cunard and User:Citobun so I suspect, if anyone can find significant coverage on this dead-end road, it will be one of these two contributors. Failing that, is there a useful redirect target? Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 10:22, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The road is apparently named after HMS Blenheim (1813), but ahead of any potential redirect discussion, I'd caution against that article as a target, since there is no other connection aside from an ostensible namesake. /Tpdwkouaa (talk) 16:30, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Non notable road, it's a dead end street with nothing of interest on it. Streets get their names from all sorts of historical figures and events, doesn't mean they are notable because of it. Ajf773 (talk) 10:36, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of streets and roads in Hong Kong per nom. It's more useful as a redirect. Nova Crystallis   (Talk)  21:30, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Respectfully, I don't know why we'd choose to redirect it there, since there are Blenheim Avenues in Charlottesville, VA; Redwood City, CA; Las Vegas, NV; etc. If the article is deleted per redirect, why keep the association with the Hong Kong instance of the street name? /Tpdwkouaa (talk) 18:25, 23 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete - appears to fail WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage and doesn't appear to meet any other guideline. I would also oppose redirecting due to Blenheim Avenue being such a common road name. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 08:38, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Run-of-the-mill street with no sourceable notability. Do not redirect, based on the rationales given by Tpdwkouaa and Spiderone above. -- Kinu t/c 18:08, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
