Bowery Street

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completing nomination for 74.88.115.197, whose rationale was posted at Talk:Bowery Street and is included verbatim below. On the merits, I make no recommendation at this time - but I do include an additional IP comment from that talk page, as it seems relevant. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:12, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Nominating article for deletion because it is about a very small, un-notable street in Brooklyn. Going through this street (which is not really a street in the first place, but a pedestrian/parking path as they are no street signs or anything along the stretch) on Google Maps shows there is nothing significant about it. The only businesses there are small retail stores that operate during the beach season and searching for notability comes up hardly anything. The was originally created as a redirect to the notable street in Manhattan called Bowery, but turned into an article by another IP user. I'm not sure if returning the article to a redirect would be appropriate since few, if any, refer to the Manhattan street as Bowery Street. Most just call it Bowery. 74.88.115.197 (talk) 01:07, 30 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I am the IP editor who turned it into an article, but only because the redirect to the Bowery was incorrect. The Bowery is never correctly called "Bowery Street" and for someone to type in or link to Bowery Street and be redirected to the Bowery would be misleading. I agree Bowery Street is not notable and have no objection to deletion, provided that it be made clear that the redirect should not be recreated. 69.95.203.29 (talk) 06:06, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete (and revert to a redirect) doesnt appear to be notable and the fact that the redirect could be deemed to be wrong is not a reason to change the article to a non-notable subject. The fact that the name is not correct does not make it unsuitable as a search term. MilborneOne (talk) 17:54, 4 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete without redirect, entirely unremarkable four-block section that can hardly be called a street. However, using it to refer to the Bowery is incorrect and is not particularly common, so I feel that the redirect would cause more trouble than it solves. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 23:29, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
