Boudreau Road

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No notability for minor roads in and around Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta. One of several in a series that fail WP:GNG and WP:ROADOUTCOMES. -- Acefitt 07:32, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: Non-referenced with no notability. A map is likely the only place information on these can be found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Otr500 (talk • contribs) 10:07, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete all—none of these currently makes a case for notability under GNG.  Imzadi 1979  →   11:13, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete all: There's thousands of roads that won't establish notability and haven't an article one of its own. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I've been doing 11:17, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - added a handful more that are equally insignificant. There will likely be a second nom with more. -- Acefitt 17:52, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete all as very few sources are out there to prove they meet WP:GNG. I have also notified User:117Avenue as the creator of many of these.  " Pepper "  @ 00:08, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. --Rschen7754 00:30, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Fox Drive and Mill Woods Road. Not only is Fox Drive an artery, it has a history and notable landmarks along its route. With some work the Fox Drive article can be expanded. While Mill Woods Road is a non-notable collector, like many of the roads listed here, I feel that it has an Edmonton cultural impact, and is a statement of the style of Mill Woods. With some research, I think that information could be added to the Mill Woods Road article to make it more notable. If this still doesn't meet the requirements for article status, it should at least be merged into Mill Woods. 117Avenue (talk) 01:11, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete all: Wikipedia is not a collection of unimportant information, a directory (or list) of worldwide common street names, or a crystal ball for speculation of possible future article expansion -- OR-- failing that possibility--- a redirect. Map entries can be found on any map. Although a map used for a reference might be good for content, it does not advance WP:notability and in the case of Boudreau Road and others, there are no references.
 * Comments: I just picked 66 Street, Edmonton, and the lead states, "66 Street is the designated name of two major arterial roads and a short rural road...", then "The two major segments...". I am already confused as to which "road or segments" the article subject covers. The article appears to indirectly cover this with the "Neighbourhoods" section of South Edmonton and North Edmonton but the short rural road seems to have gotten lost or forgotten.
 * The problems are three-fold. 1)- The articles all mostly use the single source same reference map (archived or not), and some (119/122 Street, Edmonton) even use dead links or like McKenney Avenue, no reference at all so, 2)- there is no notability for standalone articles. 3)- content not supported by a reference definitely fits the definition of original research such as 66 Street, Edmonton with content "at a recently constructed overpass...". The reference map, and other maps, would not show "a new bridge" so this is OR.
 * I am not going to look any further as the WikiProject Canada Streets "Notability guidelines" states:


 * Streets are generally not notable. To be considered notable, the street should pass one of the following criteria:
 * The street has become synonymous with an industry or organization (Bay Street),
 * The street was the site of an important historical event,
 * The street has been mentioned by name in a major motion picture, song, television show, or other mainstream media (De Grassi Street, for example)
 * The street has been the subject of a documentary or an article in a major media source.
 * It is otherwise notable, as described at Notability.
 * Although some of these appear to be somewhat well laid out articles, the reference (if there is one) does not support any content so all of these streets could be listed under a "List of city streets in Edmonton" article. At least the one reference could be shared on the same page (once "View map" is click on within the reference) but there would still be the notability issue and there is nothing notable about a source that just shows a map of a lot of streets. Editors interested in the listing of city streets should try to see if a consensus could be found for listing the streets on the Edmonton article. Even if the article wasn't already large I doubt consensus there would favor such a list and it might degrade the article. I just can't surmise an important encyclopedia reason these street articles could be important.


 * Conclusion: Any and all street articles that do not pass the notability criteria should be deleted. Otr500 (talk) 10:28, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
