Redirect to List of north-south roads in Toronto The article has no claim to WP:GNG (with no reliable sources) and is more minor than other Toronto streets with articles which were redirected or deleted. Username6892 (talk) 01:16, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete or redirect. The notability test for roads, per WP:ROADOUTCOMES, is not passed just by describing the road's physical characteristics, or even by listing things that happen to be on or near it — the notability of a road is established by writing an article which provides historical, political or social context for the road's significance, referenced to published media. Frex, a road might be notable if it has had one or more books written about its history, the way Yonge Street or Broadway have — but a road is not notable if your only sources are maps and the "how to get here" directions on the self-published primary source websites of the things in the "attractions and points of interest" list.

 * Delete and do not redirect. Fails WP:ROADOUTCOMES, but this would not make a good redirect.  A quick Google search also brings up roads with this name in Nova Scotia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New South Wales, and others.  The redirect would be ambiguous, and this road fails the notability guidelines for roads. Hog Farm (talk) 00:34, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Moving the page to Meadowvale Road (Toronto) and then redirecting should be fine. Username6892 (talk) 01:04, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I'd be fine with that solution. I don't believe a redirect at Meadowvale Road should be left in any form, so the redirect from the page move would have to be cleaned up. Hog Farm (talk) 01:30, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Surely, there should be a Meadowvale Road of some sort, even if it's just a disambiguation page ... but if we don't need a disambiguation page, I'm puzzled why it wouldn't still exist as a redirect as it's surely the most likely search term for this artery.

 * I would only leave it as a disambiguation page if the other Meadowvale Roads are notable enough, but I don't think there are any mentions of them on Wikipedia.Username6892 (talk) 02:06, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * If none others are notable, surely the simpler form is the more likely search term. Nfitz (talk) 14:51, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of north-south roads in Toronto#Meadowvale Road. That section already exists, and this is a major artery. Nfitz (talk) 21:49, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
