George W. Bush Street

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:NOTDIRECTORY, point 7 (Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations). These two streets have nothing in common except being named for the same person. That's not in itself particularly notable or unusual. There arehave been U.S. presidents with many more street named after them around the world, to say nothing of other historical and contemporary figures. This article may open the floodgates for hundreds of non-disambiguation articles about random places sharing a name. Think of all the Pope John Paul II Streets, Columbus Avenues, Constitution Squares, and Liberty Roundabouts... — Kpalion(talk) 07:32, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - The topic isn't particularly extraordinary. There is no such thing as "A George W. Bush Street", they are just two streets that have the same name.  If the streets are independently notable (and I am not saying they are) they should have their own pages with this as a DAB, but grouping them like this isn't the way to go about it.  Articles about multiple roads are done like 400-series highway, in that they have similar design parameters, not because they have similar names.  --kelapstick(bainuu) 07:59, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to George W. Bush, and the section about international honors given him. That is the real topic of this article, the fact that these two nations chose to honor him by naming streets after him.  The streets themselves are not especially notable otherwise.

 * Incidentally, in Sunnyvale, California there is a street called Santa Trinita Avenue (That is named after God!!!) which is only a couple of blocks long in an industrial area. :-) Kitfoxxe (talk) 16:17, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Is there a section on "honors" in the relevant article entry? (-: Lquilter (talk) 10:49, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Not yet. I expected there to be one. They are very common in biographies here. Kitfoxxe (talk) 15:04, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * There is one now. Either it was just started or I missed it when I checked the article before. Kitfoxxe (talk) 15:08, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * You are too diligent for me. I meant in the "God" article, actually, referencing Kitfoxxe's "Santa Trinita Avenue" ... --Lquilter (talk) 01:27, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably the street is named after a "Church of the Holy Trinity" (in Spanish), not after the Trinity directly. :-) Kitfoxxe (talk) 16:32, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep There is a story behind those streets and I still don't see how it is connected with the 7th point mentioned above. -- Ե րևանցի ասելիք կա՞  22:32, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It looks (from the article text) like there are two separate stories, one for each of the streets, and the stories are in no way connected. That makes the article not so much a unitary topic, but more of a "list". A list with only two items can easily be added to its appropriate major article, and not split off into a separate article. Hence my suggestion (below) that if the content is to be kept at all --Lquilter (talk) 10:45, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to George W. Bush (a deservedly tiny section). Not much of a story in either example: city councils voted to rename streets. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:15, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Notability isn't inherited. As User:Kitfoxxe recommends above, the content can be merged to a section on "honors" in the GWB article -- but I would significantly abridge the information. (Note, I also say the content "can" be merged -- this information is interesting, but verging on WP:TRIVIA; I'm not completely convinced about it constitutes enough of an honor to be included. --Lquilter (talk) 10:37, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge the content and redirect the page to George W. Bush. The cited content can be merged, and the title is plausible search term for a redirect. Redirects are cheap.-- xanchester  (t)  20:10, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
