[edit] Aberdeen Street

A road that has only 2 blocks and made 'international headlines' for a car burning WOW! but Still a non notable road Delete --JAranda | yeah 01:22, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

• Note the Sneaky use of international headlines: "Canada and New York State" is hardly international, as Toronto, ON/CA and Buffalo, NY/US essentially share a media market (with each recieving the others local TV, Radio and the like). A street mentioned in a local news story that just happens to be near an international border is hardly noteworthy and therefor this should be DeletedCastAStone 01:59, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Except that Kingston isn't part of that market... Bearcat 05:45, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
    • No, but it does border new york. I should have noted that i was merely giving an example. - CastAStone
• Keep --Image:Ottawa flag.png Spinboy 02:23, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Why?  Grue  17:46, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• The annual homecoming party that went over the top this year should be mentioned in the entry on Queen's University. There is a section "Traditions". The street itself is unremarkable, so delete it. Pilatus 02:24, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, this article is about an event, not a road. The road is only 2 blocks that goes through a neighbourhood not notable enough to have an article itself. --maclean25 02:36, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep.--Nicodemus75 03:39, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Why?  Grue  17:46, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Maclean25. There are verifiability problems with many of the statements in the article and no sources, another sore point with me. Quale 04:19, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per CastAStone and JAranda. --Kewp (t) 06:49, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect anything salvageable into Queen's University. (If this title isn't a proper one to serve as a redirect, then move it first). - Mgm|^(talk) 10:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Pilatus. -- Kjkolb 12:06, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, no statement indicated the road is genuinely notable. Local news story only - students getting drunk and being stupid isn't truly international news. Average Earthman 12:28, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, a street party/riot involving 'thousands of students' might be notable, but there's no reason to believe this is true. --Last Malthusian 13:36, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete echoing above. Dottore So 21:06, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Information about the event contained in the article belongs elsewhere, probably Queen's University if references can be sourced. The street itself is not encyclopedia-worthy. Mindmatrix 21:08, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn road. Sorry, voted twice - server glitch. Dottore So 22:03, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Burn this like the car. Gamaliel 11:34, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
• I'll agree that this article is delete-worthy, but can I maybe flag this instead as merge request into some kind of article on the Kingston Student Ghetto/Queen's Student Ghetto—the concept of undergrads densely living in low-grade rental housing in a halo around a university is a relatively unique Canadian phenomenon (US universities accomodating far more people on campus or having a frat system) and Kingston has the prototypical student ghetto in the country. Interesting topic from an urban planning end of things. -The Tom 03:12, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - An event "on or about" a street doesn't qualify as making the street notable. The story isn't really about the street. I'm not voting merge, since the info is unsourced. If it's to be covered elsewhere, entirely new content should be written, citing reliable sources. --rob 09:30, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete completely non-notable. When we get to the point when we would keep every street in the world that really would mean the end of Wikipedia.  Grue  17:44, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect to Queen's University as per Mgm - notable info about the university.
• Delete. I used to live at 10 Aberdeen Street. The street is two blocks long and is not worthy of inclusion despite being party central. Homey 01:05, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
