Main Street, Dallas, Texas

[edit]

I'm sure the editor had good intentions, but this should be merged with Dallas, Texas core page, surely??? Master Thief Garrett 10:09, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Please don't nominate things for deletion that you don't want deleted. There's more than one tool in the toolbox. Get the {{merge}} tag out and use it. Uncle G 14:23, 2005 Apr 23 (UTC)
  • I'd vote Keep, and it's an invalid nomination. If you think it should be merged, add {{merge|Dallas, Texas}} up top. --SPUI (talk) 15:51, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • nonono, I mean is Dallas, Texas' Main Street even noteworthy? When I say "merge" I'm meaning in the "add one or two lines and delete the rest" sense. I mean, it's not exactly, um, that street with the White House on it (name escapes me at the moment)...? Master Thief Garrett 07:11, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, Dallas, Texas' main street is more noteworthy than many small villages. Kappa 11:41, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • But *how* notable, that's the issue? Does it deserve it's own page at all? Master Thief Garrett 12:12, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Most major streets are "notable". This one certainly is. --Centauri 12:17, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Well then I suppose I can add the mainstreet of Cabri, Saskatchewan then? Yes I am being facetious, but you see my point: where do we draw the line? Master Thief Garrett 12:44, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • If there's not much to say about it, then it can be merged with the town (by that I mean a real merge, not your type of neutered merge). In this case there is enough for a full article. --SPUI (talk) 16:34, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Main street of one of the largest cities in the United States is quite notable. Mike H 04:04, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • See Wikipedia:Deletion_policy/Roads_and_streets. In general, for merging you can be bold and do so, rather than dragging it through VfD. Merge this, btw. Radiant_* 10:55, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • keep it is notable, please dont move it Yuckfoo 00:57, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Main street of major city. Capitalistroadster 04:15, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • "Main Street" is often not the main street of a major city. This one certainly is not the defining street of Dallas, Texas. Merge and redirect (which you should have done via discussion on the articles' Talk pages, not through VfD). Rossami (talk) 02:10, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. A major street of a major city is notable, even if it is not considered the definining street of the metropolis. The article seems to establish notability. If this were merged to anything, I think it would be Downtown, Dallas, Texas.--Pharos 07:08, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
