Middle Road, Hong Kong

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not every road in Hong Kong is notable and there is no indication that this one is either. It must pass WP:GEOROAD Rusf10 (talk) 23:26, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. With no sources provided, there is no evidence of notability. Furthermore, the road appears to be only a few blocks long; the streets mentioned in this article that Middle Road adjoins (has an intersection with) appear to be all the streets that it adjoins. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:46, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 *  Redirect to List of streets and roads in Hong Kong (with the history preserved under the redirect) per Deletion policy. It is useful to preserve the history under the redirect to allow for editors to undo the redirect if significant coverage in reliable sources is found. It is also useful to preserve the history to allow for a merge of the content to either List of streets and roads in Hong Kong or to another article such as "List of street and roads in Kowloon and New Kowloon", which currently does not exist but could be created in the future as a spinoff from the main list article.

 * No reason for a redirect. What your proposing is a redirect to a list of streets that itself violates WP:NOTDIRECTORY. The reader will find no additional information at this list articles, making the redirect pointless.--Rusf10 (talk) 00:59, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The reader will find that the street is located in Kowloon. The list does not violate WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Cunard (talk) 01:00, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The list definitely violates WP:DIRECTORY. It says that it is a list of notable roads, but indiscriminately lists many others that are not.--Rusf10 (talk) 02:14, 17 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge/redirect to Tsim Sha Tsui, where I added information about the road. The street is also discussed in East Tsim Sha Tsui station so that is an alternative merge/redirect target. Cunard (talk) 04:21, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep – I have beefed up the article with references to coverage about this road in several reliable sources. Middle Road holds historic significance in several respects: it marks the original coastline of Tsim Sha Tsui, it is one of Kowloon's oldest streets, it is home to one of Kowloon's oldest public parks, and it once had Hong Kong's largest multi-storey car park. A pedestrian tunnel beneath Middle Road is one of the most important transportation arteries within Tsim Sha Tsui. I will continue to work on the article. Citobun (talk) 07:59, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the substantial improvements you have made to the article! Excellent work! Cunard (talk) 08:07, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks Cunard for all your hard work here as well! Citobun (talk) 08:23, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your kind words, thank you! Cunard (talk) 08:32, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Keep per the substantial work that has done on the article, which shows that the road has historical significance and meets Notability. Cunard (talk) 08:07, 17 May 2021 (UTC) 
 * Keep per Citobun and Cunard. Deryck C. 16:08, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. An interesting and well referenced article, thanks to Citobun's work. Quite a bit more can certainly be added to this article about an important part of Kowloon. Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 21:01, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
