Castlemore Avenue (Markham, Ontario)

Nonnotable. See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Canada_Roads/Golden_Horseshoe for the rationale. Johnny Au (talk) 17:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Completely non-notable. Wikipedia is not the place to list every street in Ontario, or Canada, or North America, or the World. There are Google Maps for that. Ron B. Thomson (talk) 22:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not Google Maps. GreenJoe 00:09, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is not about listing every street. It is, in fact, a thoroughfare in Markham. If I were to list every single street, why would I not proceed to making articles for all the minor streets before I move on to the major ones. I know Wikipedia is not Google Maps. This article actually list out its unique characteristics that is extremely rare across York Region, especially Markham. The road is designed as (from left to right) Bicycle Lane - Eastbound Traffic - Westbound Traffic - Bicycle Lane -Parking. Typically, this road would have been made into four lanes, for the road is wider than many others. But this was an interesting and unique design, and certainly notable.

 * Strong delete a road to relieve traffic congestion? There are probably thousands millions of those in Canada alone, and insufficient to make it notable in any way. What is more, the article is completely unsourced, and thus the importance/significance given to it by Roadgeek can only be described as original research for the moment. Anyway, WP is not a directory or streetmap. Ohconfucius (talk) 03:05, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nomination and referenced discussion. PKT (talk) 13:01, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. This article is essentially a list of places you'll find along the road, as well as roads that intersect this one. The accompanying list of roads parallel to this is odd and irrelevant. This road is nothing more than generic municipal infrastructure, with no definable historical or cultural characteristics beyond its mere existence. So, while it verifiably exists, it is an unencyclopedic topic. (Yes, this is the same comment I made about another road AfD.) Mind  matrix  18:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails to assert any notability. DigitalC (talk) 03:21, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
