 * Merge to Donnington Bridge. Weirs Lane is the westward projection of the road which crosses the bridge, just as Donnington Bridge Road is the eastward projection. Even the pub "which was burned down in a fire" isn't on Weirs Lane, it's on Abingdon Road. -- Red rose64 (talk) 16:03, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge to Donnington Bridge Road. Weirs Lane can be mentioned in that article as a continuation of that road. EverythingGeography (talk) 07:35, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Weirs Lane is a part of a B road, in the Great Britain road numbering scheme, so "Just another road full of houses" is inaccurate, but there's no evidence of notability, there's nothing to merge, and it wouldn't be a good redirect as it isn't part of the topic and other roads exist with the same name.

 * Comment: Weirs Lane is a 200 Metre (approx) stretch of non-notable road, that then becomes Donnington Bridge Road, which is another article the same editor has just created. That article is also, in its current format, a suitable candidate for AfD. However there is a possibility of retaining the article titles and converting them into redirects to the Donnington Bridge article, where the road name changes could be mentioned. Another possibility is that this Weirs Lane article could be redirected to the 'Donnington Bridge Road' article, which could then be expanded for a tenuous possibility of notability, in that it may have been an Ancient Roman Road with a Ford (crossing). see:- this website article. As the article states, if that is proven, it would be notable as a possible origin of the 'ford' in 'Oxford'. It should also be noted that the City of Oxford Rowing Club has its clubhouse and slipway adjacent to Donnington Bridge Road, on the southern side of Donnington Bridge, on the eastern bank of The Isis.

 * I agree with you. I think Weirs Lane should be merged into Donnington Bridge Road and I have now expanded that article. I approve of Weirs Lane to be redirected to Donnington Bridge Road. EverythingGeography (talk) 17:29, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Or it could be redirected to Weir's Falls (Hamilton, Ontario). Peter&#160;James (talk) 17:50, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Whatever for? It's not in Ontario, it's in Oxford (England). -- Red rose64 (talk) 18:51, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * There's a mention of a Weirs Lane in that article. Is the non-notable road in Oxford the primary topic? Peter&#160;James (talk) 23:30, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * That is only what the linked article is about. Richard Harvey (talk) 07:17, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Weir's Falls in Ontario has got absolutely nothing to do with Weirs Lane in Oxford. EverythingGeography (talk) 07:32, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
 * If there's no article called "Weirs Lane" there are mentions in two articles of different roads with this name. There isn't content to merge, so it doesn't have to be kept (and if it was, it could be moved). Why redirect to this one and not to the other? Peter&#160;James (talk) 12:50, 26 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete Wikipedia is not a directory of non-notable streets and the possibility of a Roman road would need a reliable reference. J3Mrs (talk) 18:57, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
