Street does not seem to meet notability guidelines. Only reference in article is a link to an image on Flickr, which does not satisfy WP:RS. –Dream out loud (talk) 20:03, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - Very historic street. A huge amount has been written about this alley [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] (it was called "Exchange Alley" and "Exchange Passage" before the late "Place" affectation). Before the American Civil War, it was "by far the most popular spot in the city". It was one of the centers of New Orleans slave trade [9]. And according to the Warren Commission, Lee Harvey Oswald lived on this street. [10]. Surprising that such a central French Quarter street would even be considered for AfD. It seems by the nom's statement that they didn't follow WP:BEFORE and decided this AfD simply by the article's current lack of sources. --Oakshade (talk) 01:49, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per above. I would have never found all those great sources provided by Oakshade. Let's add info instead of delete. Looks like notability is there. Tinton5 (talk) 17:50, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as sources found rocket this across the verifiability and notability thresholds. Kudos to Oakshade and here's hoping a motivated editor uses these sources to improve or expand this article. - Dravecky (talk) 02:54, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
