List of streets in Portland, Maine
From the same author as List of streets in Manchester, New Hampshire, and just as unencyclopedic. -Satori 18:28, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete as per nom. Not appropriate even if the list were more nearly complete. DES (talk) 18:41, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

So you are saying it is unencyclopedic? Whats wrong with having a street guide? --Maoririder 18:30, 1 August 2005 (UTC) (moved from talk page by Satori)
 * Please read What Wikipedia is not, especially the section on Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. The list is not useful, or notable.  Even an individual street would only merit an article if it was significant for some reason (see Las Vegas Strip, Miracle Mile, Champs-Élysées).  A list of a bunch of residential and commercial streets in a city has no content, no information that would lead to interest by the reader. -Satori 18:45, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete. Pointless, and exactly what wikipedia is NOT. -R. fiend 20:14, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless you want a similar article for every city in the world. Agentsoo 20:33, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete There are plenty of more appropriate places to find street names. Hathawayc 21:22, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete pointless list of links of non-notable streets without any information. Listing street names is better left to Mapquest. Courtkittie 22:00, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, very unencyclopedic and unmaintainable. Pavel Vozenilek 02:39, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, for all the above reasons. Megapixie 03:11, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
