Piedmont Avenue, Oakland, California

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Reads like an advert with no real content behind it. There is no assertion of why this street is notable and it looks like part of a tourism campaign. If there were sufficient notable and non-advertising content I would have trimmed it down but there is very little to make me think this road is worthy of inclusion here. It is an area of Oakland, California and I would suggest merging any worthwhile content there. violet/riga (t) 18:38, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep This article is more about the neighborhood rather than a street. And you can see from the article that there is a whole bunch of other Oakland neighborhood articles too. The article seems to be reasonably well-developed article. It might be worth toning down some of the descriptions to be more neutral but the article should definitely stay. --Polaron | Talk 19:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep The "Business district" section needs to be completely rewritten (or removed entirely), and some of the other references and links to businesses need to be removed, but the article does have actual content and the neighborhood is reasonably notable.  For whatever reason, this particular article attracts a lot of booster-types who want to tell everyone about their favorite restaurant or how wonderful the park next to the freeway is, so it probably needs to be watched more carefully... -Nogood (talk) 04:19, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable along with the city. &mdash;Bo L  @  04:32, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep notable district within Oakland, just needs improved referencing. (jarbarf) (talk) 00:48, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep (nominator) - while I am unsure of the particular notability of the district I think that the article can work given more effort. violet/riga (t) 23:00, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
