List of London streets and roads

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Redundant list. There is already two categories for streets and roads in London.  New England  Review Me!/ Go Red Sox! 17:36, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. A useful list that needs expansion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by M.V.E.i. (talk • contribs) 18:43, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete (sorry Regan!) The categories adequately cover the list aspect of this. The entries on the individual roads don't add any further information that would be lost if moved to a category. The list only covers roads that already have pages, so the "we'll lose the redlinks" argument doesn't apply here. Finally, this has far too much potential to spiral into an indiscriminate list of information, since so many people will want to add the street where they live/their favourite singer lives/their school is etc —  iride scent   (talk to me!)  19:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I've notified WP:LT and WP:LONDON of this AfD, as users with enough of an interest in the subject to have informed keep/delete arguments are most likely to be loitering on one or the other —  iride scent   (talk to me!)  19:25, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * This could not possibly include every street in London. That way, we would have more articles on streets than any other in the whole of Wikipedia! Instead rename to something like Notable streets in London so that it only includes those which are very well known, such as Pall Mall and Old Kent Road. But then again even this is a bit of a grey area. Simply south 19:42, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I think that would be redundant, as any street that's considered notable should already be in Category:Streets in London. This list differs to List of London railway stations, for example, in that the latter includes additional information which would be lost if replaced by a category —  iride scent   (talk to me!)  20:22, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This would mean that every street in the world needs listing in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia of everything. MarkBul 19:57, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless additional, noteable information can be inserted. as per WP:DIRECTORY. This is a category. Tbo 157   talk  20:21, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - additional information can be added to this list if it is not deleted. Such as an explanation of what each street is famous for. The Transhumanist 22:00, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:Directory. Every street doesn't need a Wikipedia page. TheInfinityZero 22:27, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Duplicates category. Regan123 22:37, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as redundant to category. Interesting but doesn't need an article. Thin Arthur 05:56, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep only if expanded to include info not in the category. —  AjaxSmack   08:16, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete much as it pains me, however there is little more here than can be easily categorised. -- Roleplayer 00:28, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per iridescent. shoy  19:12, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
