Non-notable street. Nothing but trivia. No sources found. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 01:26, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Multiple off-line sources exist. Clearly surpasses WP:GNG.  Subject is verifiable.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:34, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable street. There has to be some sources that establish some notoriety. I have not found any for this. Tinton5 (talk) 02:19, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Prospect Avenue appears to be a fairly notorious street in Kansas City; this article explains its decline, and provides some very thorough coverage. This article and this article also provide coverage of some revitalization efforts. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 04:06, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Prospect Avenue, the subject of the article, is a slab of asphalt, so it can't really "decline" or "be revived" (other than developing potholes and being repaired). Certainly, the neighborhood around it can, but that's tangent to the subject of the article. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 08:05, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per TheCatalyst. Specifically reject Scott5114's argument as flawed.  The neighborhood around the street is known by the street name.  --Nouniquenames (talk) 13:20, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Concur The argument about the physical street itself should not apply.--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:55, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * If we are going to have an article about the neighborhood around the street shouldn't it be merged/moved to the applicable article listed on List of neighborhoods in Kansas City, Missouri then? —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 18:46, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I would be against merging to that article, but I would support its entry. That's a list, and it would be appropriate.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:15, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - Typical city street.  Dough 48  72  04:39, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. City street that gets the routine coverage any city street gets; not a numbered national or state route, so not applicable under the gazzeteer clause; article appears as if it were created to be a business directory. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:29, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
