Although the result of the 2006 AFD was keep this article was subject to a redirect -- one not discussed here.
I think this redirect was unwise. Many articles contain links Runnymede Road, since it has incoming wikilinks, and there are RS to support its notability, readers are best served with a standalone article, not a redirect. So I restored the former article, added some references, and some new material. Geo Swan ( talk) 03:08, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
I think a small correction is needed to the east-west listing of streets in the east Scarborough area. Sewells, Conlins and Manse are along one concession; Reesor and Morrish are along the next concession to the east. One might also consider putting Beare before Centennial two more concessions east, to mimic the north-south ordering of streets along the two other concessions. -- papageno ( talk) 04:06, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments, but they don't address my question. I apologise if I was not clear enough.
Here's another try. In the lead of the article, there is a listing of streets in alphabetical order. A listing of streets in order from west to east follows. 1. However, some streets in that east to west listing are not in the correct order. Sewells, Conlins and Manse are along the same concession, and so should appear consecutively. Scarborough-Pickering Townline and Port Union are also along the same concession, but also don't appear consecutively. 2. Referring again to the west to east listing, for streets that are along the same concession, we should put them in secondary order too; I suggest listing the streets from north to south. Thus, Sewells, Conlins and Manse should appear in that order; Beare before Centennial; and Scarborough-Pickering Townline followed by Port Union. 鈥 Point 1 should be corrected immediately: if the listing is from west to east, then it should be from west to east. I don't think point 2 is controversial, but await your input. Regards to all. --

I think it would add information if the West to East listing in the lede used a different separator for collinear roads, perhaps an
en-dash ("鈥"), retaining the
bullet for separating roads that are not collinear. For example, Sewells, Conlins and Manse Roads are collinear, so in the list we could show them as 鈥 Sewells Road 鈥 Conlins Road 鈥 Manse Road 鈥
. We would add text describing the feature (new text in bold): "Roads are listed alphabetically, but from west to east 鈥 with
collinear roads (roads along the same line) separated by an
en-dash ("鈥") 鈥 they are:". --

Weston Road is more of a diagonal road not North/South. Should it not be in this Section? 鈥斅燩receding unsigned comment added by 104.157.250.90 ( talk) 06:45, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
I think we should sort the north鈥搒outh roads from east to west as that seems more helpful then sorting alphabetically. Of-course, it seems like a big task, so I want to get some opinions first. 鈥 BrandonXLF (t@lk) 05:19, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
i understand that unnotable pages in 2010-2015 era of wikipedia of toronto streets were changed to a redirect for being unnotable and having little information, but jane street is a street that has lots of things to put in, i made a google doc and in ~3 days i already have a lot of information. if agreed that it could have its own page, and after suggestions of making it better, i could edit jane street to have its own page. Humulator ( talk) 18:30, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
Roads are not automatically notable just because they exist. To establish Jane Street as notable enough for a Wikipedia article, the sources have to be articles about it in the likes of the Toronto Star or The Globe and Mail, or content about it in books about the history of Toronto 鈥 a road's notability cannot be established by maps, photos, TTC schedules or other primary sources, and has to be established by written analysis in published media sources. Sure, it's certainly possible that Jane Street could be notable enough for an article, but the sources you used aren't what it takes to get there. Bearcat ( talk) 13:41, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
I just want to post here, as I don't think many people check the talk on Streets in Toronto temeplate.
I posted something there; I just want a response on it. A discussion should be on the templates talk. Humulator ( talk) 00:49, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
I'm posting a lot here, but this doesn't make sense. We should all agree to one order. I'd say alphabetically is probably best. Humulator ( talk) 03:52, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
Recently @ Liz Changed Queen and king to end in a ", Toronto" rather than a (Toronto). But streets such as Queens quay end in a (Toronto), as well as a few others. However streets in other city's in ontario such as Hamiton have a ", Hamiton". Whats the standard? Humulator ( talk) 19:08, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
