Boundary Road (Vancouver)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Disputed PROD. Subject is a 6-mile road that passes through suburban housing areas on the literal edge of Vancouver proper. Has 250 results from one of the region's local daily papers, almost all of which is WP:ROUTINE coverage.  Sounder Bruce  04:51, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. The notability test for a road is not simply the ability to verify that it exists, or even the ability to verify that it gets mentioned in media coverage of things that happened on it: the notability test is the ability to reliably source some substantive context for what might make the road historically, politically, culturally or socially significant. (Christopher Street in New York City, for example, does not have an article just because it exists — it has an article because of Stonewall.) But the sources here are not showing that at all.

 * Keep, nominated in bad faith as retaliation and an attack by the nominator. Also in bad faith is the nominator gutted the article by removing all the sections and most of the text so now the article looks lousy. Major street in that city. WP:Wikiproject Highways has better experts that know what should stay. General Wikipedia editors are generally not knowledgable about the criteria for roads, which this meets.

 * Delete The road is not the actual subject of any the sources except for the routine local government note that it was getting upgrades. No notability. Reywas92Talk 05:56, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - Suburban arterial road that has no evidence of notability.  Dough   4872   00:51, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:GEOROAD says, "local roads, streets and motorway service areas...are presumed to be notable if they have been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable and independent of the subject" - crime reports, upgrade notices and naming stories are not significant coverage - therefore, delete - Epinoia (talk) 00:01, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete  -  This is a encyclopedia not a road guide or map site. THEFlint Shrubwood (talk) 17:23, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
