King Street, Cambridge
This is King Street, Cambridge, which branches off from Jesus Lane, named after Jesus College that it runs behind. It makes a turn and then runs parallel to Jesus Street for maybe 500 meters until it reaches a small roundabout. The only coffee house in Cambridge that doesn't close at 6 PM is on that road, as is the delightful St. Radegund's pub, which has a selection of well kept guest ales on offer. There are a few shops and pubs more. It it away from the main shopping area. As I say, it's not particularly long, not particularly wide, it's not particular in any way in fact. It's not even a B-road. That's why it isn't encyclopedia-worthy. 129.215.195.81 Pilatus 21:38, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * And I forgot: it has nothing to do with King's College, King's is on King's Parade. Pilatus 22:31, 27 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete.   Not encyclopaedic.    Paul Klenk 22:25, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Does no harm. Dmn  €  &#1332;&#1396;&#1398; 23:12, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a grab-bag of data. Trivia such as these make people see the trees instead of the forest. Pilatus 00:50, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * If they were looking for the forest, they wouldn't be using "random article". Kappa 03:18, 28 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. A merge with Cambridge would also be fine.  It's that road at the opposite side of Christ's Pieces to Drummer Street bus station.  Rather pretty, and famous for the annual run a pub crawl called The King Street Run. --Tony Sidaway Talk  23:59, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * keep and merge The King Street Run into it. Kappa 02:29, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Cambridge and redirect. Denni &#9775; 02:52, 2005 August 28 (UTC)
 * Delete, redirect to Cambridge. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 09:00, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It has the back of Christ's typewriter, some very nice housing, and an invaluable antique shop. And the King Street Run. David | Talk 14:21, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Pilatus --TimPope 16:10, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep; unlike many of the thousands of highways listed, King Street actually has some cultural significance (which should be expanded upon in the article itself.) Sdedeo 19:11, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep roadcruft. --SPUI (talk) 17:29, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect with Cambridge, or keep if the article expands before end of VfD. JYolkowski // talk 01:46, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - the road is of note, for those who have actually been to Cambridge...if anything, the article needs expanding--jrleighton 09:33, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't even think that a student pub crawl route, The King Street Run is worthy of an article. Let alone a street who's sole claim to fame is that it hosts a pub crawl. - Hahnchen 15:29, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all non-notable streets. Quale 15:40, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
