Street name
Thanks Niteowlneils :-) This is a list of street names of drugs. Wikipedia is not a slang or idiom guide and the article is a plain list without encyclopedic contents. Moreover, important street names are already covered in the articles of the respective drugs and can be found using the search function. Delete and update Wiktionary. Cacycle 21:45, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Either keep this content at this page, or move it over to List of street names of drugs. Of the two lists, this one was certainly done better. --Idont Havaname 00:15, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, move street name to List of street names of drugs after deleting the latter. Wile E. Heresiarch 05:02, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * We should have an article on "street name" in the non-drug sense. Some owners of shares of publicly traded companies choose to have their stock held in the name of their broker-dealer rather than in their own name.  The issuing company sends dividend checks, annual reports, etc., to the broker-dealer instead of directly to the shareholder.  Such stock is said to be held in street name.  Googling for "street name" +stock produces more than 70,000 hits.  I'd say: move this content to List of street names of drugs, then make street name a stub about the financial meaning, with a note directing people to the drug article.

 * Mostly concur. Merge this to List of street names of drugs, turn this article into the financial sense, with a note at the top cross-referring to the drugs one. -- Jmabel | Talk 08:26, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree with Jmabel on merging this to List of street names of drugs. GRider\talk 18:38, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
