Nothing but directories and restaurant reviews can be found on Google search (under both languages). Since there's nothing on the street itself, it fails WP:N. Nova Crystallis  (Talk)  20:18, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Merge/redirect to William Staveley since Staveley Street is named after William Staveley. Here is a source I found about Staveley Street: The book notes: "William Staveley, administrator 1848 Staveley Street 士他花利街 sih tā fā leih gāai  Staveley Street in Central is named after William Stanley (士他花利 sih tā fā leih; 1784–1854), a Major General and Lieutenant Governor of Hong Kong between 1848 and 1851 and the administrator of Hong Kong in March 1848 before the arrival of the next Governor, Samuel Bonham. The street is a pedestrian-only path parallel to Peel Street. Starting from Queen's Road Central, the path rises past Wellington Street upwards to Gage Street. Notice that the Chinese characters on this sign are written right to left instead of the usual left to right. In writing Chinese, you move frorm right to left only when writing downwards. However, there are many instances in Hong Kong, for example on trucks, where the characters are written from right to left horizontally." This is not enough to meet Notability but this is enough to verify the material for a merge. I completed a merge. Cunard (talk) 04:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
