[edit] Glebe Point Road

While I understand the use of articles on interstate highways, I fail to see why we should have an article on a street in a city somewhere. Maybe WikiTravel wants it. Radiant! 14:08, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)

Very well known major high street in an historic area of inner Sydney. Easily the basis of an excellent article. Strong Keep.--Gene_poole 21:42, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Keep per above, but I'm not too happy about the "local aborignal population" comment. Kappa 00:37, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, however as previously stated, better suited for Wikitravel, if we have one. -- Riffsyphon1024 00:40, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • We do, but for legal reasons it seems we cannot transwiki there. However, for a fact-based article there's nothing to prevent someone from starting a similar article over there. Radiant! 11:59, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. --SPUI (talk) 02:54, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Cleanup. Significant Sydney road. Capitalistroadster 10:01, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • I have started this myself wikifying it but needs more work.Capitalistroadster 10:21, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• The US POV on VFD is ridiculous. Keep - David Gerard 00:33, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Why is it ridiculous? Radiant has a point. Wikipedia is not a roadmap. Megan1967 00:24, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Because it is a very significant part of Sydney. - Ta bu shi da yu 00:32, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Show me a roadmap that shows that "The street is lined with terrace houses". Show me a roadmap that shows that "There was an active tramway on Glebe Point Road between 1892 and 1958 when the trams were replaced by buses." And so on. --SPUI (talk) 00:32, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Definite Keep. Lacrimosus 00:11, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Most definitely keep: I live in this part of the world and this is major geographical landmark (if that's the word for a road). - Ta bu shi da yu 00:31, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, of course. It's starting to get quite frustrating when perfectly notable Australian articles get put up for deletion because Americans haven't heard of them. Ambi 03:40, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
