[edit] Steeles Avenue

This is a road on the outskirts of Toronto without any historical, cultural or commercial importance. The article informs us that it is amongst Ontario's worst kept roads. Pilatus 19:04, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete if any relevance is found at all, put it on the York University article. Molotov (talk) 19:20, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This is not a stub: it is a complete article with a photograph, details on major sites along the route, and so on. This is a major thoroughfare in Toronto. Ground Zero | t 22:21, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
• As much as I'm against the notion that any street should have an article just because it exists, this is the street that actually forms much of the boundary between the city of Toronto and its northern suburbs. Article needs some expansion (a photo and a list of attractions on the street does not make an article encyclopedic), but the topic itself is keep-worthy. Bearcat 22:31, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
• This one is a major street. Please keep. --YUL89YYZ 22:46, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I'm not much for road-cruft in WP, but this article should stay. The article needs a lot of work though. Mindmatrix 23:11, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, important street in northern Toronto which also forms the boundary between Toronto and its suburbs. It has significant bus service and is near York University. Andrew pmk | Talk 23:40, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, a major street and a decent article. - SimonP 00:01, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Has a photo, that's great, and there's a nice nugget of information or two with the origin of the name and how it has a ton of potholes, but it's all unreferenced and thus unverifiable. Give me a reference, and I'm perhaps willing to change my vote, but I'd also like to hear about why this is historically, culturally or commercially significant, as Pilatus said. Fernando Rizo T/C 00:03, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as significant Toronto Road with reference/s providing evidence of significance. Capitalistroadster 04:12, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep major road. NSR (talk) 11:41, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Dearth of references makes an article a candidate for improvement, not deletion. — mendel ☎ 20:58, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Major road has historical, cultural and commercial importance to the several large Ontario cities for which it is a boundary. It is also a heavily-travelled artery. Samaritan 21:15, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
• Obvious keep, notable road. Please do some research before putting stuff on VfD. JYolkowski // talk 02:02, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep roadcruft --SPUI (talk) 20:58, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• keep please this is not roadcruft and it is an article for improvement not deletion Yuckfoo 07:31, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Obvious Delete, just another road. Quale 02:49, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep if this is truly an encyclopedia of facts in our world, and a few milion people have cursed the potholes on Steeles in the Toronto area, and at the construction at Highway 10 in Brampton, why not?? It's not like the little road in Rexdale that someone added to wiki (still there??), but if this is denying the chance for other postings...then remove ALL roads in Toronto, Canada, and even the world !! (Unsigned comment by Bacl-presby)
• Keep Reminds me of 8 Mile Road in Detroit, as they both mark the northern borders of their respective cities. -- Earl Andrew - talk 00:22, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
