Article about a city street, not properly referenced as clearing our notability standards for local roads. A city street is not automatically notable enough for its own article just because you can describe its physical characteristics, or even because you list the public transit routes that happen to use it -- the key to making a road notable enough is to show and reliably source some political, social or historical context for what makes it important. (For example, Christopher Street in New York City has an article, because it has a national historic designation as the nexus of the riot that changed LGBT history -- but the technically much busier arterial street in Toronto that I can spit onto from my bedroom window just has a redirect to a city neighbourhood it passes through, because its only real claim to notability is lending its name to that neighbourhood.) This, however, is referenced 5/7 to maps (and it was actually fully 3/4 mapsourced until I stripped the WP:CIRCULAR reference to a user-created Wikipedia map) -- and of the two sources that are actually text, one is a primary source government report from the municipal government, hence not a notability-building source, and the only one that's actually real WP:GNG-eligible media is a glancing namecheck of the street's existence in an article about the Confederation Line. Neither the context nor the sourcing here are enough to make a street notable enough for its own encyclopedia article. Bearcat ( talk) 01:05, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
