"Park Lane owes much of its fame to the fact that it is the second most valuable property in the London edition of Monopoly." Much of its fame? Really? I would think that Park Lane had already acquired most of its fame long before Monopoly™ even existed. Uncited, in any case. - Jmabel | Talk 02:35, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. Jenks24 ( talk) 08:23, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
Park Lane, London →
Park Lane – This looks to me like a
primary topic, primarily due to its prominence in London and recognition on the British Monopoly board. In the last 30 days, the article had
1,450 views. The other three articles unquestionably called "Park Lane" that cannot be disambiguated in any other way are
Park Lane (stadium) (
232),
Park Lane (investment bank), (
153) and
Park Lane (mall) (
91). Combined together that gives us 476 views, less than a third of the London Street. If the move carries, the existing
Park Lane disambiguation page would move to
Park Lane (disambiguation).

Since you're here Blofeld, why not help get this to good article status and sort out the remaining "notable residents" list, add proper sources, and integrate them into the prose. Often (eg: as with Grosvenor House) the building has kind of equal notability to its most famous resident. Anyway....

Yes, I will try to give this a good look over the next few days, definitely worth getting to GA.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:51, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

This is a very well written article, hence why I couldn't find many prose issues with it! The concerns I noted above were all minor, so it shouldn't take long to address them. Are you aiming to bring up every street on the Monopoly board to GA? It's very doable as the sources for every place in London is quite extensive.

Just a reminder to all that good articles should prefer information collected together as prose in paragraphs, rather than lists. See MOS:EMBED for further information. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:20, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
@ Dr. Blofeld:, @ Sagaciousphil: There seems to be an attack of socks on this article - any ideas on how to proceed (other than the "sledgehammer with nut" approach of semi-protecting?) Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:45, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Has anyone got a really good (ie: mainstream broadsheet-quality news) source for the cycle lane? If not, I don't think we should include it per WP:NOTNEWS and balance. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:45, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
