This article (and
Evans Avenue, which I will be bundling shortly to this AfD) were created by a new editor (please be gentle). We have had discussions, but ultimately I have not been able to successfully explain the need for
reliable sources that support
notability. Ultimately, though, these streets clearly have not met notability requirements.

I am also nominating the following related pages (for reasons indicated above):
apparently, these are arterial roads in Toronto which should be notable. As such why is Islington Avenue noted and created? I don't find that there are any notable statues there or something

I have seen one with my own eyes, maybe the case of the letters are different, but there should be an article about Islington ave in Toronto that has a title that's pronounced Islington avenue

@
Wiokipedia, I don't see anything in
WP:GEOROAD that suggests that having a transit route on a road makes it notable. "Notable" in Wikipedia terms doesn't mean "noteworthy" or "famous" or "important". It means something more like "a topic that ought to be covered on its own in an encyclopedia article". This can get complicated, and there are many essays about the concept of notability on Wikipedia, but the most important part is pretty simple: in general, only items with significant coverage in reliable sources can be subjects of Wikipedia articles. I would be surprised to find that either of these streets met those requirements. --

It also has gas stations and stuff. Most on-road level railroad crossings were changed into bridge crossings as well, but this one is still remaining.

There is probably around 1000 gas stations in Toronto, they do not impart any notability. What imparts notability is significance. Horner is not a significant road in the overall picture of Toronto, Etobicoke, or even Mimico. - Floydianτ¢00:14, 4 February 2022 (UTC)reply
Delete This road fails
WP:GEOROAD because it is not "the subject of multiple published secondary sources which contain significant coverage and are reliable and independent of the subject."

Delete all of them per Cullen; the road itself is not well-written about in reliable sources, so we have nothing to use to write a good Wikipedia article about. Some roads are well written about. These here are not. --

I'm not sure which of the plethora of boards to apply to (which says something considering I've been here over 18 years), but I suggest a two-week to 1 month block. This editor very clearly has the best of intentions, and may just need some guidance. An indefinite block seems over the top here. - Floydianτ¢02:41, 4 February 2022 (UTC)reply
