The result was Moot. Moved to template space. A WP:MFD would be needed to delete it if it is considered problematic there. Sandstein 09:50, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

- Delete Indeed a vector graphic with hyperlinks or something of the sort would be needed. A grid of streets just doesn't work in a wikitable; I'm sorry, the half-bounded intersections and cramped vertical text look poor and unusable even in template space, with cell sizes determined by the amount of text rather than geographic scale.

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are the same format:
- Street grid of landmarks in the Historic Core, Los Angeles ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Delete both - Looks like a lot of admirable work went into these, but yeah, enwiki isn't a map. Hog Farm Bacon 20:53, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
- These are maps used as guides to orient the reader as to the locations of buildings in an article, a geographic index if you will. Articles include
Broadway (Los Angeles) and
Central Business District, Los Angeles (1880–1899). As the same grid serves several articles, (those plus Spring Street, Main Street,
Los Angeles Street and
Historic Core, Los Angeles) it was better to have the grids as separate documents that could be inserted into multiple articles. They weren’t meant to stand alone. I suppose people would be happier if this was a vector graphic with hyperlinks but I’m only learning how to do that. I think this is intuitive and useful in the articles, but whatever, if the majority think the articles are more useful without this, I have to accept that.

- @ Hog Farm: I moved the content to the Template namespace. So I guess the articles for deletion don't exist anymore. Keizers ( talk) 22:17, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
