List of streets in Oslo

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE. No apparent list criteria except possibly a list of every single street name in the city. Only a handful of list entries have articles. Ajf773 (talk) 08:05, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Category:Streets in Oslo is sufficient unless some additional organization/info can be added. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:13, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep There are notable streets, as you'd expect for a capital city. Improving the organisation of the list is a matter of ordinary editing not deletion per our editing policy.  The existence of the category indicates the validity of the list per WP:CLN. Andrew D. (talk) 16:25, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per Andrew D. Pruning to only those streets that have articles or merit them is an issue for normal editing to address. postdlf (talk) 00:04, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
 * With only 20 or so entries with articles, this article is neither encyclopedic nor useful for navigation. I don't see how pruning adds any value to it. Ajf773 (talk) 00:24, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I've never even seen anyone claim that "20 or so" is somehow not enough articles to merit indexing in a list. Instead the debate is commonly whether three or five are enough to pass a minimum utility threshold. postdlf (talk) 00:28, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Without looking into each list entry with an article we don't even know if any of the streets even meet the notability requirements. Ajf773 (talk) 10:12, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * We don't err on the side of deletion. If any of those articles shouldn't exist, that's for other AFDs to determine. So long as those articles do exist, we should list them. And I don't find it plausible that there are no notable streets in the thousand year-old capital of a European country. postdlf (talk) 14:44, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, perfect category material. Geschichte (talk) 13:54, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * And a category already exists. You've not made any argument or comment regarding this list. postdlf (talk) 14:44, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Why do we need a list article if a category exists? Or vice versa? Ajf773 (talk) 09:39, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Andrew D already addressed that above, but I see you're not yet familiar with the guideline he cited. postdlf (talk) 16:42, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete -- unneeded as the existing category takes good care of this. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:59, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete unencyclopedic. Prevan (talk) 02:37, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:LISTN; no indication that this topic, "streets in Oslo", has been covered as such in reliable sources.  Sandstein   08:49, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
