Myrtle Avenue (Eureka)

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Contested PROD. This article title is supposes to be about a street in California that's no notable. The only reference in the whole article is for the length. The rest of the article is about a section of a city, and even that isn't particularly notable.  Imzadi  1979   →  04:46, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not notable at all.  Dough 48  72  04:47, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - The article is called "Myrtle Avenue" yet the content is about Myrtletown, California. If someone wants to create an article about the street and can demonstrate it passes our guidelines, then I'll re-consider.  But for now this article is nonsensical. --Oakshade (talk) 06:22, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - as per above and nom. -- Aeonx (talk) 10:25, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Essay that doesn't match the title, nothing worth keeping. tedder (talk) 18:10, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment The article's author (Offrecord09) is relatively new, and I encourage him or her to keep contributing to Wikipedia. In this case, I would suggest that the author work on the existing Myrtletown, California article.  To the author, who I imagine is reading the ongoing debate, learning "encyclopedic style" can take some time-- "If you look down the hidden streets, you will find a business for every occasion" is essay rather than article,  Personal observations are barred as original research, although the observations made in published sources are often okay.  Best thing to do is to google "Myrtletown" and then add links to the town article.  Good luck.  Mandsford 19:53, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. The road, also referred to as the "Old Arcata Road" preceded the highway that exists nearer the edge of the Humboldt Bay. It is the original route of the highway that exists today. Historically and currently this road is one of three major arteries that connect Eureka, California to the college town of Arcata, the other two being numbered highways. However, there is not enough significance to list this as its own article. Additionally, the editor that created the page has created nonsensical categories and general mayhem. Additionally, the grammar and sentence construction in related edits is problematic to say the least. Norcalal (talk) 09:09, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete "For those who live in Myrtletown, it is easy to tell when you are in the neighborhood. After you have crossed the deep gullies of Eureka and the redwoods are in view, the clouds seem to lift a little bit, the fog turns to mist and the sun shines through more often. There are plenty of stores and enough medical assistance for the whole city. If you look down the hidden streets, you will find a business for every occasion." Nonsense. wacky  wace  19:50, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
