Quadra Street

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  AfD statistics)

Non-notable road, or at least nothing mentioned in this article. Prod applied and disputed.  PK T (alk)  14:23, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm not finding anything about the street that makes it more than a street. There is an Old Quadra Street Burying Ground that might be a notable entity, if anybody from the area wants to create an article. Abductive  (reasoning) 14:39, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - This does appear to be a major north-south thoroughfare of Victoria, BC which connects many neighborhoods and to other municipalities to the north.   Even following the very limiting WP:STREET proposal, it would still pass.--Oakshade (talk) 19:45, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The problem is I can't drum a single source that even says that. Abductive  (reasoning) 22:39, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * That maps confirm it.--Oakshade (talk) 23:13, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The fact that no source talks about this street in any detail, not bothering to say something, anything at all about this street means only one thing; not notable. Abductive  (reasoning) 23:35, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I never claimed I've found detailed articles about this street, but just that it is a major thoroughfare of this city that connects neighborhoods, which maps confirm.--Oakshade (talk) 23:41, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. There are more and less important streets, and then there's this one.  Looking at the map I can't imagine why Quadra Street would be more important than, say, Shellbourne Street to its east.  And sure enough, there's no source to indicate it is.  --Glenfarclas (talk) 21:28, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. Here is an article that suggests the street is of some importance, and fairly busy: Report says turning curb lanes over to buses on Quadra Street won't work during rush hour. I have also seen references to Quadra Village at http://www.blanshardcc.com/qvd/, but I am not sure what the village's boundaries are. - Eastmain (talk) 13:01, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * There are lots of busy streets during rush hours; not all are notable. Apart from that, the article is still just one sentence long.  PK T (alk)  13:37, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:ROTM street. --Slashme (talk) 07:09, 23 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete: Sorry, an article that mentions that a street has traffic (and how many streets don't?) doesn't come remotely close to satisfying notability. I'm sure, for instance, that I can come up with hundreds of articles gleaned from the Boston newspapers that X Road or Y Street was the location of SuchAndSuch accident, Soandso murder or Thisandthat new construction.  That neither makes the source about the street or the location notable.   RGTraynor  08:36, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Arterial roads are likely to be able to show notability.  However this article fails completely.  Delete until someone can write a well sourced stub. Vegaswikian (talk) 08:27, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
