Van Duzer Street

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Article is about yet another short, meaningless residential street in Staten Island with the single source being dead and not proving any notability. See Articles for deletion/Justin Avenue for my reasons for nominating this article. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 13:40, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

 * The irony is that this fairly pedestrian article doesn't mention the one interesting thing about this road that's the one fact written about it in several history books: that it used, along with Richmond Road and Amboy Road, to form part of the King's Highway, between the Watering Place (now Tompkinsville) through Cuckolds Town (now Richmond) to Tottenville. You can read all about that highway in, amongst others.  Of course it's a simple exercise with the rename and edit tools to get to there from here, no deletion required (since, after all, the redirect left behind will point to an article that mentions the topic).  It all depends from whether anyone feels like being a writer, today.  &#9786;  Uncle G (talk) 19:49, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete—not notable on its own. The King's Highway bit is interesting, but that should be a different article, and no redirect is needed from an unlikely search term.  Imzadi 1979  →   06:54, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
