Alphabetical List of Hoboken streets

Why? RickK 23:40, 23 May 2004 (UTC)

  • Certainly keep the info, which is excellent. Might be better merged with the city's page, though. Everyking 01:57, 24 May 2004 (UTC)
    • I certainly have no problem with that. RickK 01:59, 24 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Seems kind-of obscure, but encyclopædic nonetheless. Keep, possibly merge, or at least link to from the city's page. blankfaze | &#9835 02:00, 24 May 2004 (UTC)
  • I am in agreement with Blankfaze. My reasons:
    • 1. Does this article really cause any problems? I cannot find another Hoboken anywhere in the world. Google. Burgundavia 08:43, 24 May 2004 (UTC)
      • No? Hoboken, Belgium is nearly as large, as 30 seconds off the Web is sufficient to disclose. (But Hoboken, Ga., is insignificant.) One of its advocates should fix the title. --Jerzy(t) 06:02, 2004 May 28 (UTC)
    • 2. It is more than just a list. Burgundavia 08:43, 24 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Lots of trivia, but that's to be expected in an encyclopedia. Abigail 12:07, May 24, 2004 (UTC)
    • I hope people don't expect to find trivia on Wikipedia! RickK 22:54, 24 May 2004 (UTC)
      • Why? I'd expect lots of things to find in an encyclopedia, including trivia. (Of course, what is trivia and what isn't is subjective). Abigail 23:10, May 24, 2004 (UTC)

We now have Alphabetical list of Santa Clara, California streets. Whatever we do with Hoboken, let's do with Santa Clara. RickK 02:49, 25 May 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep. It has useful information. User:Latitude0116 04:15, May 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • I oppose straight deletion, but as an experiment rather than a precedent. Send it to Cleanup w/ request to try integrating (not necessarily merging) the info with Hoboken, New Jersey, and the invitation to send it back to VfD for reconsideration if the attempt warrants deletion. (As RickK points out, likewise for Alphabetical list of Santa Clara, California streets and Santa Clara, California, but clearly indicate that only the one has been treated on VfD as far as we know.) --Jerzy(t) 06:02, 2004 May 28 (UTC)
