List of street names of drugs
This is a list of street names of drugs. Wikipedia is not a slang or idiom guide and the article is a plain list without encyclopedic contents. Moreover, important street names are already covered in the articles of the respective drugs. Delete or move to Wiktionary. Cacycle 19:10, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC) *Keep and cleanup; notability is established. --Idont Havaname 00:13, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Orginal research, impossible to verify. As Cacycle said, important street names are already covered in the articles of the respective drugs. Neutralitytalk 19:15, Feb 6, 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree. Keep. Samaritan 04:43, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but with reservations, needs expansion (IMO lists that have little explanation aren't very useful). Megan1967 01:03, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This is not a dictionary, but an encyclopedia. Perhaps wikislangdictionary?--BenWilson 17:16, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and Delete any new information should be merged with the respective drug articles kaal 17:42, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Street name, or redirect Street name to this page. No need to have two.  --Idont Havaname 00:14, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to drug addiction, which has two excellent external links to deal with this. Denni &#9775; 01:41, 2005 Feb 8 (UTC)
 * Keep. -- ComCat 15:32, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, then move street name to List of street names of drugs. Wile E. Heresiarch 05:01, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Certainly merge in the better article, Street name, to this better title. As with some other similar hard-to-verify lists, though, this should have a citation for every entry. -- Jmabel | Talk 08:29, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, needs expansion though.--User:Boothy443 | comhrÚ 18:04, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, once merged with the above article. -- user:zanimum
 * Keep and allow for organic growth. Do not redirect to street name.  GRider\talk 18:40, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
