Morningside Avenue (Manhattan)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested prod. No claim to notability. Regardless of another editor pointing me to WP:BEFORE, this is an unsourced article about a street in New York that divides two neighbourhoods... Apparently it's "practically a part of Columbia University", though I don't know what notability that imparts. Delete  ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  τ ¢  16:32, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as lacking in-depth coverage in reliable, independent third-party sources. Should such sources be integrated into the article, feel free to leave a note on my talk page and I'll take another look. Stuartyeates (talk) 04:38, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Multiple notable landmarks like St. Joseph of the Holy Family's Church (New York City), St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center and the Grant Houses on this street. It's also where Colin Powell grew up.  --Oakshade (talk) 17:39, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Buildings on a street don't impart notability on a street, independent third party references describing the character of the street and the history of the street do. We also don't have articles for streets because a actor politician (just goes to show how well he's known outside the US) grew up along it. -  ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  τ ¢  18:57, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Just to correct you there, Colin Powell is not an actor nor politician, but an iconic statesman and army General. --Oakshade (talk) 20:00, 10 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. After a highly frustrating twenty minutes trying to find some kind of decent sourcing about this road, I'm pretty much convinced it fails WP:GNG. Every time a convincing result came up, the topic being covered was actually Morningside Park (examples:, ). So unless I missed something, I can't see why this street is more noteworthy than any other. Notable landmarks and Colin Powell aren't enough for me, nor apparently for any notability guideline I know of. Alzarian16 (talk) 15:15, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
