 * None of these roads do. They were obviously created by some Dubliner or a tourist getting ahead of themselves and thinking Dublin is the centre of the world. It's probably not even the only Herbert Road in Ireland or even Dublin itself, never mind the world. Well I'm weeding out the pretenders. And I'm taking no prisoners and have no toleration for any "oh this road is reasonably interesting" crap. --Balloholic (talk) 15:26, 23 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Moved to more specific name; Herbert Road, Dublin. Sheesh. Jack Merridew 11:25, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and Expand. Even from what is there, it seems quite clearly a significant street in a major city. It is reasonable to expect that cites of commercial, historical, political, and literary importance will have many notable streets. Some more information-- and sources-- should be added.DGG (talk) 22:54, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  MBisanz  talk 00:11, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - significant road with coverage in sources; for example . TerriersFan (talk) 01:02, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment With all due respect I think this source was used before on another road, illustrating the corrupt nature of these discussions. I would argue that such roads were frequently selling houses at this time and that many will have broken that record again and again in the intervening 5 year period. I would still say delete. --Balloholic (talk) 01:16, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * There is no cabal... except the one we didn't invite you to. Oops! Did I say that out loud? Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 09:25, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep as per TerriersFan - Snappy (talk) 07:50, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. As before not a vote. You seem to be able to give reasons in some cases but this sounds like a personal issue with the nominator that since you can't come up with a genuine reason you just say keep. You have been warned repeatedly about this. --Balloholic (talk) 01:32, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - please don't strike other editors recommendations. It is up to the closing admin to decide whether to ignore, or not. TerriersFan (talk) 02:00, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I forgot to add a reason previously, now corrected. User Balloholic a) please stop being so abusive b) stop acting like an admin because you are not one. It is not up to you to warn me now or ever about anything, only admins have that power/duty. Also people in galsshouses etc, as you repeatedly vote twice in articles that you nominate for deletion. Snappy (talk) 02:27, 29 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Needs expansion, not delete. Also, trivia is discouraged, but neither banned nor a reason for deletion - its just a call to be sensible and include trivia only in proportion to the actual article content. Thanks! --Cerejota (talk) 09:22, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notable buildings on a road, don't transfer notability to the road. Also, every road has a most expensive house, the one on this road isn't particularly special, which means deleting this entry would not lose significant information (the text describing the location of the road is map information in prose which is better told with images) - Mgm|(talk) 20:02, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - a road isn't a strip of tarmac with a pavement on either side. The buildings are an inherent part of a road and the notability of the buildings are inextricably linked to the notability of the road. TerriersFan (talk) 21:58, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Further comment: "A road is an identifiable route, way or path between places." Even according to ourselves. Further reading will tell you that the above dog obsessive does not know their definitions properly. I can list off roads that have decent articles not hinging on the buildings that are on them. Here we go: Via Aemilia, Appian Way, Via Aurelia, Via Cassia, Via Flaminia, Via Salaria and so on. Do you want me to go on? These are popular roads I know about, like to read about and are actual good roads in their own right. A street named after a vegetable does not have the same effect. --Balloholic (talk) 01:32, 28 December 2008 (UTC)*'


 * Delete - VERIFIABILITY is not the same thing as NOTABILITY. Just because this street exists and there are sources to back that fact up, does not mean it is worth an article. Trusilver  09:07, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
