Constitution Street

Doesn't meet WP:NOTABILITY. It exists and there are potentially some notable buildings on the road, but the road itself isn't notable. Angryskies (talk) 15:08, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Found in-depth coverage by reliable sources after a few seconds of searching.Oakshade (talk) 04:23, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment The two articles add nothing to the article. One is a planning application for new housing, this happens in thousands of streets every year. The third reference is a book describing a few buildings. Angryskies (talk) 13:54, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. The street is clearly historic and notable. Yes, if a street is lined with historic buildings then it is itself notable. This is not "inherited notability"; this is common sense (at least for an architectural historian). -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:50, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep: I updated the reference in the article from Cassell's Old and New Edinburgh: Its History, its people and its places by James Grant (1881-1883). That reference, plus Oakshade's reference to Edinburgh by Gifford et al (1991) demonstrates that this specific street has been written about by independent sources for for more than a century. — Toughpigs (talk) 16:39, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: While I think more work could be done to provide references in the article, what is there would seem to suggest notability as other users have commented. Dunarc (talk) 19:59, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Architecture and activities are what makes streets notable, such as this one.Djflem (talk) 21:35, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep The street historic and notable. Historic buildings = historic street. Lightburst (talk) 17:27, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
