Nikis Avenue

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced, no evidence that this meets the general notability guideline, Article creator removed earlier PROD. Drm310 (talk) 17:33, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - 1,100+ news hits for "λεωφόρος νίκης" which is the actual name of this street ("Nikis Avenue" = obviously the English translation). This is a prominent street in a prominent city in Greece, and it's also a promenade where at certain times it's closed to car traffic. Just needs references.  —Мандичка YO 😜 17:52, 6 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep - Per Мандичка. A ton of articles by a recent g-news search alone. We need to follow WP:BEFORE and do a search in the appropriate language before determining "no evidence that this meets the general notability guideline."  This is looking like systemic bias. --Oakshade (talk) 00:26, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

 * And what about WP:BURDEN - the burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material - which is required to establish notability? There were no reliable English sources and as a non-Greek speaker, it's unreasonable to expect me to evaluate the reliability of machine-translated Greek-language sources. Even the corresponding article at Greek Wikipedia is no help. --Drm310 (talk) 15:25, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
 * WP:BURDEN is part of WP:VERIFIABILITY (Not WP:GNG) which of course this passes as it's totally verifiable. WP:GNG is crystal clear that sources do not have to be in English. That you're unwilling to even try to look for non-English sources is an admitted violation of WP:BEFORE and the essence of why Systemic bias was established.  If you'd like to change WP:GNG to require English language sources, you need to make your case on the GNG talk page. --Oakshade (talk) 18:42, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
