Multrees Walk

Contested prod. Reason was "A small shopping street in Edinburgh. No claim of encyclopedic notability is made, and none is likely to be forthcoming." Concern is still valid, Delete Jonathan Oldenbuck 12:04, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete A minor shopping street, tucked away in the backstreets of Edinburgh. Lurker  (said · done) 12:30, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I wouldn't exactly call St Andrews Square and York Place "backstreets". --MacRusgail 16:29, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is a very notable pedestrian way in the center of one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. It's the in depth subject of multiple secondary reliable sources like The Scotsman, the Sunday Herald  and the Edinburgh Evening News .  A simple google search would've demonstrated this.--Oakshade 16:01, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - very important and controversial piece of the "regeneration" of central Edinburgh. High rent shops such as Harvey Nichols and Louis Vuitton have made it their home. --MacRusgail 16:28, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Evidently notable. Colonel Warden 19:02, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Some famous-name luxury goods shops do not make the street notable. And the newspaper articles quoted focus almost entirely on the retailers, not the street. Still no claim of encyclopedic notability forthcoming. Jonathan Oldenbuck 13:12, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know what articles you're reading, but they're clearly about the walk and the retailers that are the main component of it. An upscale walk in one of the most notable cities on earth and that's the subject of secondary multiple reliable sources is not only a claim of encyclopedic notability, but easily passing this encyclopedia's core notability guidelines.     --Oakshade 15:32, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
