[edit] West 4th Street (Greenwich Village)

Delete because unencyclopedic topic, and Wikipedia is not a travel guide. As much as I love detailed coverage of my present home, this goes too far. There just isn't anything significant about this street, and we certainly don't want every street having its own article. Postdlf 21:42, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Nomination withdrawn; rewrite has made this a proper article where before it was mere cruft. Postdlf 17:59, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

• Don't Delete Hey: Why not? Who cares if no one visits it? It's there if someone ever wanted it. Bobburito 21:43, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless you know something interesting about this street.--File Éireann 21:55, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, it goes sideways. Bobburito 22:08, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:NOT ref 1.7 #3 "Travel guide". This would be better on http://wikitravel.org if the contributor wishes to move it. GeorgeStepanek\^talk 21:55, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep after JJay's excellent rewrite (see below). Definitely encyclopaedic now. GeorgeStepanek\^talk 04:50, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete State and federal highways have articles, but not local roads, for Pete's sake Ruby 22:19, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I've lived in New York City and happen to know what can be found at West Fourth Street. It might become encyclopedic if its cultural history were expanded (although that could be argued), but this simplistic stub doesn't attempt to go there. Durova 00:11, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. I've expanded the cultural history a bit. Every Village street has a great history, and we have a ton of articles at Category:Streets in Manhattan. However, W. 4th Street is particularly good; scratch the surface and you get the inspiration for O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh, John Reed's work location, the home of John Sloan, and the location for Dylan and Simon & Garfunkle's debuts. Not to mention Dylan lived there and wrote Positively 4th Street. Please reevaluate your votes based on this information. -- JJay 02:29, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
• Change vote to strong keep after superb rewrite.--File Éireann 20:23, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep And this road is not notable because? It is a major street in a well known city. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 06:50, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, thanks for the rewrite. Kappa 09:22, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep due to great rewrite. --Chris 23:17, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep excellent re-write. A lot of individual streets in Manahattan are more notable than Manhattan, Kansas. TMS63112 17:57, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Excellent job, JJay. Turnstep 14:35, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
