Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Warden Avenue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is the most absurd decision I've read in Wiki so far... What is the reason for deletion? Was someone inhaling too many mushrooms?? This is a major road in Toronto, York Region reaching some distance from Lake Ontario in Toronto the south to Georgina in the north It is actually renamed Town Centre Blvd in Georgina; As noted it has a TTC Subway Station, Exits to two Ontario Provincial Superhighways (Highway 401, Highway 407), a couple of Municipal Bulidings (Markham, Ontario and the aforementioned Georgina), will be part of the VIVA Bus Rapid Transit routing in York Region in the coming weeks.... And of course, the original campus of Centennial College was located near the Subway Station, the Ashtonbee Campus is still there, along with a major Greek-Canadian Cultural Centre and Greek Orthodox Church (St John's)...
If there is a reason to delete this road from the Wiki, perhaps the rest of the category: Toronto streets should be purged (some do require edits, however...) as well. I am NOT amused! (Unsigned comment by Bacl-presby.)
- Being a major arterial is not, in and of itself, a reason for a city street to have a Wikipedia article, and neither are the listing of things that happen to be on the street or the listing of highways that the road happens to interchange with. A road needs to have demonstrable historical or cultural significance (eg. Yonge Street, Broadway, Sussex Drive) that makes it famous enough that a person who's never been to the city or seen a map of it could still conceivably have heard of the street.
