Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deer Ridge Drive

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. For all the edits this article got in its five-day spell, it still looks nothing more than a textual translation of a road map - an endeavour for which the page creator must have spent some time. However, Wikipedia is not a directory and thus this road must be notable to have its own article. Since the only detailed write-up linked from the article [1] is not as much about the road itself as on a facility that used to be near it, it falls short of the "multiple non-trivial mentions" that notability requires. —Resurgent insurgent 2007-05-08 12:44Z

[edit] Deer Ridge Drive

Deer Ridge Drive (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable road. Disputed prod. -- RHaworth 21:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Doesn't assert any possible notability. Also, I categorized this AfD under "Places and Transportation"; it was previously uncategorized. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Actions • Words))) 21:52, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The road only has local significance, as far as I can tell, and doesn't appear any more notable than any local street in any town. It sort of looks like the article was put there to promote a real estate development. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 23:13, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Allright, how do I talk to you other than on this debate thing. I'm not even sure how to do any of this. By the way whats "AFD"Googler1117 23:48, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Oh allright, so this means I need to add some more "stuff" to the page "Deer Ridge Drive". I don't know any of the policies here, so I'm not sure what I'm allow to post. How do I add a comment to your talk page? Sorry I'm really bad at this, must be too many ways to do things. and How do I add a template? Googler1117 23:59, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Pioneer Tower ( menonite landmark is located off this road) This is not here to promote real estate if you like remove the comments in the articles about builders in the area, anything to keep this article here. Thank you to whoever expanded the maps with external links. I will continue to add to this article, as more ideas come to me. Thanks 72.143.81.232 12:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. It's just a road someplace. There are lots of roads, you know - I can see one from my window right now. It's not Route 66. andy 12:03, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
