 * Weak Keep - While not beautiful or the subject of major articles, it is one of the Las Vegas metropolitan area's longest arterial main streets. If we were to go by the WP:50k rule, this is easily be one of the 40 street articles per the 2 million population of the Las Vegas Valley area.--Oakshade (talk) 08:20, 19 November 2011 (UTC) Changed to solid keep per sources found below. --Oakshade (talk) 21:04, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - There is a transportation route on this road. Also why single this road out??? If Decatur Blvd is removed then why not Jones Boulevard or any other north-south arterial roads??? If anything there should of been improvements such as references made in the article since its been around for a while.Brudder Andrusha (talk) 13:53, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: There are bus routes on many other roads and arterials in the Las Vegas area...not all those streets have articles and that shouldn't be an argument to keep this. A few named arterial roads in the area, such as Las Vegas Boulevard and Fremont Street, are notable because of the hotel/casino districts established on them which have helped shaped the industry and character of Las Vegas. Other named street articles in the Las Vegas area, such as Jones Boulevard, were moved to those names from articles on Nevada state highways (which shouldn't have happened, IMO) and never fully revised to detail more than the state highway portion of the road. Decatur Blvd does not have these aspects of notability going for it, which is why I nominated it here. If references can be added that shows something interesting about this thoroughfare that sets it apart from the many other long arterials, such as Durango Drive or Pecos Road, then that's fine. --  LJ  ↗  10:15, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Never mind its length, has it been covered by sources? I only checked the first ten pages of its 1600+ GNews hits, but I'm pretty well convinced that this is probably a notable road. This source provides in-depth coverage about the street's history, these two are borderline significant coverage and this isn't bad either. WP:GNG would seem to be met to me.

 * If kept, REname to "Decatur Boulevard, Las Vegas". I cannot believe that it is the only street of this name in the world, even if the rest are far less significnat.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:21, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Is that really necessary? Such disambiguation would surely be necessary only if this wasn't the primary topic, which it clearly is - this seems to be its only rival. Alzarian16 (talk) 22:16, 23 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete as lacking significant coverage in multiple independent third party sources. Feel free to ping my talk page if these are added to the article. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:41, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Nothing special about this road.  Dough 48  72  01:16, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * While that's an interesting opinion, do you have any reason to counter the above arguments that it's one of the main routes of the Las Vegas Metropolitan area and that it passes our guidelines like WP:GNG? --Oakshade (talk) 04:55, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
