 * Do we really need articles on streets of obscure notability, like Bolshaya Nikitskaya and the like? They're just streets, after all. Why don't we write an article on 123rd Street in Manhattan? KNewman 19:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I think the streets in the center of Moscow and SPb deserved to have their own articles. The same with the 123rd Street in Manhattan. Not sure about the Bolshoi Kislovsky Drive though. I would think that the real criteria of notability is to have at least two independent frequent editors who are interested in the matter. abakharev 23:42, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Take a look at Category:Streets in Manhattan :) Vozdvizhenka is notable, Bolshoi Kislovsky is not. To call it a "major thoroughfare" the way Fisss does is hilarious. -- Ghirla -трёп-  06:37, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Moscow Central administrative district by me. --Brand  спойт  17:21, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Unless you want the collection of Moscow-related articles to become even more unmanageable than it is now, I would recommend moving this to Central Administrative Okrug, Moscow or to Tsentralny Administrative Okrug, Moscow (the latter is consistent with overall naming scheme of Russian federal subjects' administrative divisions). Normally, the term okrug is only translated for autonomous okrugs.  Also, administrative okrugs of Moscow are subdivided into districts, not into municipal districts.  The municipal districts are formed on the basis of districts (from the categorization point of view, they are a superentity of sorts), and presently match exactly.  Also, please review the Moscow districts' naming conventions&mdash;the way the districts articles are currently organized (organized? ha!) is pretty darn horrible.&mdash;Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 19:35, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that Tsentralny Administrative Okrug will be unintelligible for English-speaking people and in further indexation in Wikipedia. Meanwhile e.g. Google and Metacrawler are more relevant to Central Administrative District rather than Tsentralny Administrative Okrug. The last has only few hits. Generally I think only those terms that have not English real or literal equivalent, being too specific, should be transliterated literally (e.g. Latin pallium). In order to distinguish administrative okrug from district the first may be called administrative district while the second - simply district. The appropriate redirect to Central Administrative Okrug, Moscow could be made. The article may be moved to Moscow Central Administrative District for example. --Brand  спойт  11:01, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I am really not that much interested in all things Moscow-related, but as someone who edited his share of articles on Russian administrative divisions I just want to provide you a friendly warning&mdash;the way of your approach disaster lies :) Terminology must be as unambiguous as possible, and using the term "okrug" (which, incidentally, is included in English dictionaries) is a reasonable compromise which helps avoid using the scheme in which districts are divided into districts which, in turn, are divided into... districts.  Not only is it confusing and looks unprofessional, it also mars the bigger picture.  It is a mistake to always use the most common terms here (although, of course, a reasonable attempt should be made), because those terms are good when discussing a stand-alone topic, but not really when the whole administrative hierarchy is a subject.  Please, reconsider. "Central" vs. "Tsentralny" is debatable and adjustable, but if you are going to use inconsistent terminology (i.e., "district" instead of "okrug"), it will break quite a few things without adding much value.  Also, can we move this discussion to somewhere more relevant, please?  Thanks.&mdash;Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 12:17, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
