The Ridgeway (street in Rothley)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Some local interest coverage. Most sources are property listings, stats and advertorials. Fails notability for places. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 17:50, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep Passes Notability (streets, roads, and highways). Many independent, reliable references. Unique street and is well known. User talk:Qualitee123 19:14, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. I was unable to find any coverage beyond routine coverage and minimal local coverage. Several of the sources on the article don't actually support the statement they are attached to. Fails to meet either WP:GNG or WP:GEOROAD. Much of the article is merely repeating that the street has high property prices with different words, which is already covered sufficiently in the article at Rothley. Nothing here is worth merging, and the article title is an unlikely search term, so there's no reason to redirect. Lowercaserho (talk) 08:12, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

 *  Draftify Delete - Firstly, the notability policy indicated by Qualitee wasn't implemented. There isn't enough coverage (that's reliably and in-depth enough on the road itself) to justify GNG notability, and it doesn't pass WP:GEOROAD. ATD seems to hold up, and there may be additional content that could be added elsewhere and clearly Qualitee is the only substantive editor - why not draftify?  - thoughts?

 * The editor below makes a note that logically this would still belong in another article, so draftifying in hope of being a future article doesn't make much sense Nosebagbear (talk)

 * Delete as failing WP:GEOROAD. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:35, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete: An article which does little but present a sequence of reporting about selling prices for properties in a street. I am seeing nothing here which constitutes encyclopaedic content or justifies WP:GEOROAD inclusion; the passing mention in the article about Rothley village itself is sufficient.

 * Strong Delete I'm sorry, but this article was written as if it were a Primary School project, there is no notability to it. The photos are completely unnecessary as 1) They're more or less of a single house, and 2) They're a grainy quality. Only thing of probable notability would be the mentioned thefts, but if anything, they should be shunted into the parent page, rather than being the foundations to why this article has survived so long.

 * Comment, WP:GEOROAD states "Topic notability for ... local roads, streets and motorway service areas may vary, and are presumed to be notable if they have been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable and independent of the subject.", there are sources out there ie. Leicester Mercury - "Revealed: Top 10 most expensive streets in Leicester" - "However, the dearest street in Leicester is still over £1million behind The Ridgeway in Rothley, which was named the most expensive place in the county.", Moneywise.co.uk - "Revealed: Britain’s most expensive streets, as the number of £1m-plus homes goes up by 20%" - The Ridgeway no. 9, Born Yesterday: The News as a Novel - "The difference is that Orchard House in the commuter village of Rothley is a close neighbour of The Ridgeway, singled out as one of the ten most expensive places to live in Britain by the Sunday Times at around the time of Madeleine's disappearance.", but these are really just snips, and discuss how expensive the street is and thats all, ditto with the sources in the article, so this looks like a delete (i note that there is a mention at Rothley which is fine).
