Important places on a road don't in themselves make the road notable.'' |

Speedy redirect to List of roads in Toronto#John Street. This was merged by consensus not even a month ago. SimonP has decided to recreate it, rather than adding this slight bit of new infomation to the redirect target, where it easily fits. Not a notable road and doesn't deserve its own article, as was determined a few days ago; it travels a few city blocks and is classified as a local street by the city. The street itself has no claim to fame, it just has important places at major intersection with other actually notable roads (Front/King/Queen). Important places on a road don't in themselves make the road notable. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 04:48, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- Redirect - Per nom. Dough4872 18:33, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- Speedy keep, close, and TROUT- What part of "this is not Articles for Redirect was unclear? Umbralcorax (talk) 19:51, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- Learn wikipedia policy. This is a venue to discuss articles. They don't have to be nominated for deletion to be brought here. Talk pages of many articles are unwatched. When you've been here a little longer and know the rules, you can apply to be an admin and then you can perform the unprecedented closure you did last night. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 19:59, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- I do know wikipedia policy, thank you. There's one called WP:BEFORE, which says "If the topic is not important enough to merit an article on its own, consider turning the page into a useful redirect to an existing article – something you can do yourself without opening an AfD case". All you're doing in opening these afd's is wasting everyone's time. Umbralcorax (talk) 22:26, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- This was already done. Every single one that has been nominated here in the past few days was recreated with content that duplicates what is in the redirect target (or adds a fact or two to it at best). - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 22:47, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- So in other words, there was consensus to actually perform the redirect, so when someone undid your move, you brought it here make a POINT. Umbralcorax (talk) 01:03, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
- ...No...
- The article was listed for deletion. Consensus was to merge (see first AfD). This action was performed by User:Spartaz on January 16.[1]. SimonP recreated it on February 5, adding an infobox and a table with various buildings along the road.[2], but otherwise changing the prose very little. It was quickly nominated with CSD G4 by myself as a recreation of material from a recent AfD. An admin declined this request,[3] with the summary of "As much as this feels like an obvious G4, I think an AfD would calm everyne's nerves in thr long term". So I did exactly that. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 01:28, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

- Keep - Major Toronto street and there's far too much topic-specific content to merge into the already far too large "parent" article. Very in-depth coverage demonstrating passing WP:GNG. [4] --Oakshade (talk) 21:20, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- Splitting the potential target article is a completely seperate issue that has no bearing on this discussion. One source does not make a topic notable, WP:GNG requires multiple independent sources. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 21:46, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- WP:GNG does not require multiple sources (it says multiple sources are generally expected, not required). What's important about sources establishing notability is the depth of the coverage and that one cited is very in-depth. Here's another government one.[5] Oh, and here's another from the National Post. [6] And another from the Toronto Star. [7] So even under your criteria, this topic easily passes WP:GNG. --Oakshade (talk) 22:50, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- So why don't you take all these great sources and actually make an article with them? Will either you or SimonP stick around after these afd's close to continue to improve all of these sub-par street articles using the sources you are presenting here, or will you run off to "save" whatever other roads are being nominated for deletion? - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 22:56, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- I guess you've shifted your position that from it doesn't pass WP:GNG to "every article must be very long incorporating every word ever written about its topic from every source and if that's not done immediately, the article must be deleted." That's just silly and childish and not worth responding to.--Oakshade (talk) 23:04, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- No, every article that isn't long enough to merit seperation from a list of very similar articles (other roads in Toronto) should be merged until its big enough to be its own article. Otherwise they sit as permenant stubs for years without anything being done to them... that is of course until someone comes along with a hot poker. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 23:40, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- Now your argument has shifted yet again to "it's too small." First of all, there are no WP:TOOSMALL disqualifying guidelines in Wikipedia. That's what stub notices are for. Secondly, it's a already beyond stub status and too large to merge into another one. Thirdly, it easily passes WP:GNG. You're fighting a losing battle here. --Oakshade (talk) 01:40, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
- I've noticed. Crappy articles rejoice. Like I said, I'm sure once these AfD's are done that these articles will rot for another few years without a single reference being added to them. Hopefully one day opinions will change. We should go around making placeholders for other topics that could potentially have a good article. As long as they pass GNG it doesn't matter how good or bad the article is, right? When this nomination was made, the article was more than small enough to be merged until the time came that someone made it like it is now. Of course it is only when the threat of the article going away comes around that any work is actually done on it by the people that want to keep it so badly. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 01:57, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

- Obvious keep per Oakshade. There are more than enough references available to satisfy WP:GNG. freshacconci talktalk 02:35, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
- Keep. It didn't take me much work to find a bunch of sources for this article. I'm sure with a bit more time a lot else could be found. - SimonP (talk) 03:59, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
- Keep. Original merge was correct, but there's clearly enough new content and coverage to justify retention now. Significant coverage in at least three reliable sources makes this road easily notable under WP:GNG. Alzarian16 (talk) 10:32, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
