Doesn't appear to be a particularly notable or special road. rootology ( C )( T ) 14:37, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Withdraw per comments from DonJay and some more digging around; the sources are out there but need adding is all. rootology ( C )( T ) 16:27, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. It could do with an edit, but this particular street/road appears to be the location of several notable buildings which means it is of historic significance. - Mgm|(talk) 23:48, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I request that it is not deleted. The argument "it is not particularly notable" can be used against many pages of an encyclopedia (especially biographic entries), which to single individuals may be of little interest. The purpose of an encyclopedia should be to provide on all subjects. This entry supports the one for the "Mayor of Garratt", but more importantly it describe a long and historic route in the poorer part of London.  DonJay (talk) 02:56, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep -- An English urban road 4km long with a single name applying to it is likely to be of minor notability. However, it is better to have articles on localities rather than single roads.  If kept, it should have a disambiguator added to the name (such as South London), as I suspect there will be other English Roads with this or similar names.
