[edit] Broadview Avenue (Toronto)

This looks like a road without historical, cultural or commercial importance to Toronto. Pilatus 18:59, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per nominator, and action to delete Steeles Avenue as well. Molotov (talk) 19:20, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, significant road. JYolkowski // talk 02:03, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Significant for what? This isn't a rhetorical question. There are several people from Toronto trawling this page, and if there was anything to say about that road beyond what the entry already says they would by now have put it in and voted keep. Pilatus 11:13, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

I believe that something is significant if (a) it does not meet any criterion for deletion as listed in Wikipedia:Deletion policy and (b) it's important enough that someone took the time to write about it. This road meets both criteria. On a side note, it is a major street near the heart of a major world city; very few streets in the world have that distinction, so I'm sure there's quite a bit that could be said about it.

• Delete, lousy Riverdale punks! If this is is important to Riverdale put it in that article, don't create a substandard, non-expandable article. Just create a section in Riverdale, Toronto called transportation or traffic pattern or something and discuss there. This roadcruft is just fragmenting relevant discussion into odd bits of info here and there. --maclean25 03:14, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep-- despite what you Killjoys want....Lots of cultural signifigance; Chinatown, Don Jail, Riverdale Park, TTC Subway, TTC Streetcars, Don Mills Road's early route.... (Unsigned comment by Bacl-presby)
  • "There are notable things located on this road" is not what "cultural significance" means. Bearcat 23:00, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep. Major road, subway stop, cultural significance. Andrew pmk | Talk 00:34, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Hmmmm. I live in Toronto. I can bike from my apartment to the corner of Broadview and Danforth in five minutes flat. And I'm still at a loss as to the encyclopedia-worthy cultural significance of Broadview. Bearcat 17:47, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Broadview does not meet my definition of what makes a street notable enough to have an encyclopedia entry, and I'm a Torontonian who can see parts of it from my bedroom window. Delete. Bearcat 23:04, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. My bedroom is a major room in my house, from which I can see a culturally significant feature in a major city. Does my bedroom now deserve a Wikipedia entry? -- Corvus 05:12, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
