Dayton Ohio Streets

This "article" is simply a street and Zip Code Index to Dayton, Ohio. Fails WP:NOTSTATS Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 05:45, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:NOTSTATS. Ryan Vesey  Review me!  06:10, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per above.--Chimino (talk) 06:22, 20 May 2012 (UTC)


 * I Think That this page should Not be deleted because it has all references proving that every single,street on this list;and ever single zip code - is one hundred percent true, and accurate. This Article also has valuable sources, in the references. At this Point thats all I have to say. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Flaawless — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flaawless (talk • contribs) 06:21, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - Wow, this is very inclusive and must have taken a long time to write this, but still, Wikipedia is not a directory and this blatantly fails this. --Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 14:20, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is not an article by any means.  This is a photograph of the city of Dayton and a list of city streets.   coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  18:51, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete: Wikipedia is not a directory. SL93 (talk) 19:50, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Referenced, probably. Needed here, definitely not. It's a map index of one city's streets without a map to index to, an orphan article that will never find its parent because the Internet doesn't do grid maps well. A list with no use.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 22:26, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete This is not suitable for this site. Perhaps the City's website should have this? Not Wikipedia, anyway --  Phantom Steve .alt/ talk \[alternative account of Phantomsteve] 03:13, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Perfect content for the back of an all-inclusive printed map (to help users find streets that appear on the front), but not an encyclopedia article.  We could produce a list of the notable streets, but given the city's population of 141,000, it's likely to have just three notable streets — really not enough for a list.  Nyttend (talk) 12:18, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I like what was trying to be accomplished through this article, but this is definately not suitable for Wikipedia. Another website might be more appropriate. I would kindly disagree with Nyttend about one point though. Dayton would really have about a dozen notable streets that could be listed. Population isn't the key, it's the history and notability behind the subject matter that counts. Texas141 (talk) 12:27, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Unlike you, I'm not from Dayton, and I don't know the city well; besides the numbered streets, the only street name I know (without looking at a list) is Far Hills Avenue. If you look at the link, you'll see the reason why I paid attention to the population instead of attempting to consider the historical sources about which I simply know nothing.  Nyttend (talk) 13:01, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I see your point, and it's a valid one at that since you are not from the area and familiar with the historical significances and backgrounds of the city. I was just pointing out that a city should not be judged by it's populaion alone. Some larger cities may hardly have anything to talk about while some smaller cities may have a much richer history. It really varies place to place. Texas141 (talk) 19:16, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Definitely agree with that. Smaller cities generally wouldn't qualify to have any street articles based on the "it's likely" link, but we have Court Avenue in Bellefontaine because of its historic significance.  Nyttend (talk) 13:58, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

"The Reality Of Dayton Ohio Streets"

I Think That this is a reference guide to every single wiki page on Dayton Ohio - it is to be included as an extra to all articles that deals with Dayton Ohio, wiki-pages and Montgomery county and Ohio and zip codes and streets in wiki - it's simply a guide to all streets in the Dayton Ohio Metropolitan statistic area. It's not as if someone couldn't find more information online about these streets;Plus there is hyper links in the begging paragraphs directing to more information on streets and zip codes.

It seam as if someone is just not ready for the research process of streets. So they stop @ a listing of all streets - supposedly - with out realizing that they really want more;Or that they can use this to remember zip codes they forgot or never knew.

After all who, if handed a blank sheet of paper can remember one hundred percent - every single zip code and street name in the Dayton Ohio streets listing? In my eyes no one can pass that test with a one hundred; So this could be a study or memory guide on any.

Though I am Plotting on making sentence descriptions right next to each street;which i'm working on @ the moment. I don't think it's needed with how much info is on the net. This could be simple as redirecting ever street to a new website by hyper-linking. Or hyper-linking each street in the Wikipedia list /article. (Then again i do think that descriptions are needed next to each street;though population is not my main concern, it's still part of the education and city and is possible to be Known.

Now Wikipedia has aced this being a valuable piece of information in Dayton Ohio streets. I also have changed The Article to a Wikipedia list - so it's not supposed to be an article anymore it's supposed to be a Wikipedia listing.

 * Comment Article was moved to List Of Dayton Ohio Streets and into the wrong article space. Sorry, that's not how an AfD works Flaawlees; the WP: space is only for articles and administration regarding Wikipedia processes. I've moved it back to the article space.

New comment: Then again I do think that descriptions are needed next to each street;though population is not my main concern, it's still part of the education and city and is possible to be Known. I think that if the Dayton Metropolitan statistic area is notable with-in, it's self - that everything with-in it should be noted. Unless The City Plan on closing each street and having zero population. Though I realize to myself Dayton Ohio and there streets is more notable over the whole intire Dayton Metropolitan statistic area. Though that's gone only get me to why Dayton is the county seat.Flaawless (talk --HDJ 17:42, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. I think the real question is whether this list is the kind of information Wikipedia would want to have for any city. I don't think we have lists in this format for any other city. And if people need to know the zip code for any address, they can look it up on the U.S. Postal Service web site, which already exists and covers the entire United States, rather than trying to use a list like this on Wikipedia. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:23, 21 May 2012 (UTC)


 * New comment: That was the goal and objective to be the first and or only list at this exact way - some people in this world need this kind of information - I also added a USPS Locator link in the Wikipedia list Title For instances they need this kind of info if they use USPS and or Google or any search engine based on this - that's why this can be useful in Wikipedia also. The Format on the list will change. So that's understanding. That's about it - that's understood - at this moment. This list in my eyes is still possible to be used with Wikipedia and other services.Flaawless (talk--HDJ 21:21, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * See Articles for deletion/Lists of ZIP Codes in the United States by state, which resulted in the deletion of comparable pages — while those lists were of ZIP codes rather than streets, both those lists and this list were/are long directories of information much better suited to other types of projects, not to encyclopedias.
