St John's Road East

Non-notable road that does not specify where the other half is - the west? Where did it go? Does anyone know? Thank You. Balloholic (talk) 03:07, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ::My common sense tells me that

the importance (or notability) of streets is likely to be much higher in cities of commercial, political, or literary importance, and that therefore a numerical rule for all makes little sense.
The historic downtown districts of long-established cities are likely to have a very high proportion of streets that will be notableDGG (talk) 18:03, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please note:

This laneway is located in Sandymount, a coastal suburb nowhere near any city centre. It is possibly nearer the Isle of Man than Dublin. Therefore the above user has contradicted themselves already.
I suspect this user is going on previous hunches and is dismissing the credibility of the nominator. This user assumes that all streets nominated are in the city centre. If this user's talk page were examined it would be discovered that they are collaborating with other users, namely one who is suspected of having a COI. A lot of keep votes with very little reasoning other than they must be kept. Supremely biased. --Balloholic (talk) 21:22, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If it's not downtown, I was wrong about that (incidentally, there are cities with downtown beaches, like Chicago) but in any case it remains notable on the basis of the information presented. I am a little puzzled by how one could have a COI about Dublin streets. DGG (talk) 23:04, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any number of reasons including the most obvious one - living there. Your point about downtown beaches is invalid as Ireland has no such monstrosities. --Balloholic (talk) 00:47, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Delete: Ordinary suburban beach street that doesn't indicate notability. Not near a city centre. None could be located. --Balloholic (talk) 01:20, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The above vote is by the nominator who is NOT supposed to vote again. The nomination being counted as a vote. Snappy (talk) 07:56, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a vote. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 09:41, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is a good point. However Snappy likes to vote in deletion discussions and has been criticised for doing it before. --Balloholic (talk) 01:36, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Criticised by who? It's only user:Balloholic and that's doesn't count since s/he's not an admin only an editor who takes it personally when someone votes to keep an article s/he's nominated for deletion. Snappy (talk) 05:16, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If I want to reach the historic St. Johns Church from my gentrified apartment that used to be allotment gardens, I would use this road. Not world-shattering notable, but I don't think that notability is shades. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 09:48, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
