The result was Delete this ludicrous nonsense. Even if the subject were notable (which it emphatically is not), the contents of the article was complete bollocks. Here I am unusually well qualified to judge because I live in reading and I regularly use the Basingstoke Road. It does not mention the infamous "Whitley Whiff", or Cotswold, or Makro, or Reg Vardy, but even if it did it would still be headed for the bitbucket because there are no non-trivial secondary sources, and that is because the subject itself is entirely trivial.

[edit] Basingstoke Road

Basingstoke Road (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This article has been tagged with importance since March 8. Only 1 major edit has come since then, but it still does not make the article notable. I move to delete this article. Diez2 00:38, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
