 * I'm not sure what you mean by "I removed because you didn't comment your deletion" As for the sources the article, it can't be assumed that sources exist, which is why I nominated the article.  As for the sources you've mentioned, just because documents exist about something doesn't mean that they are notable, a listing in a directory isn't enough.  There is still no indication of notability presented for this street.  To be fair I have no idea if the sources you suggest do indicate notability as I don't have access to them, nor is my French good enough to properly read them, but the onus is on proving notability, it isn't assumed.

 * Comment: Personally, I would assume that sources exist for a historic street in Paris. I know that I could find plenty of good secondary sources for any street in Stockholm that has been around for 250 years or more, and I see no reason why Paris would be any worse documented. That said, I think an article saying nothing but "Rue Buffon is a street in the 5th arrondissement of Paris" is absolutely worthless. --Hegvald (talk) 21:41, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete WP is not a directory. This article is nothing but a directory item.  Please find out something about the street and then write the article. Jaque Hammer (talk) 21:51, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:Run-of-the-mill. Some streets in Paris are notable, but I see no indications that there's anything particularly notable about this one; we shouldn't have an article about every street in the world just to say 'it exists'.
