[edit] Bank Road

Bank Road (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Lacks sources demonstrating notability. Tagged for such sources since June 2006. I looked but couldn't find appropriate sources to add. FisherQueen (Talk) 15:34, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - This appears to be a major thoroughfare and a historic one, partially due to it's tram. [1]. According to the BBC, it's part of "The Matlock Trail"[2]. --Oakshade 15:54, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
• Comment If a street is not known beyond its local area, it should not be notable. If there are media citations specifically discussing the street, and not just mentioning it in passing, then I would say Keep. Otherwise, Delete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkBul (talk • contribs) 15:57, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
• 50/50 If this - At the beginning of the twentieth century Matlock proudly boasted that it had the steepest tramway in the world. - from the source is true and citeable then keep otherwise delete. Regan123 17:07, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
• Comment I think the "steepest tramway in the world" claim from 1893 might have been news to users of the San Francisco cable car system (built 1873, expanded 1889). No opinion on the article's validity, as if the press were claiming this it would (weakly) be enough independent coverage, albeit probably better served by an article on the tram rather than the road — iridescent (talk to me!) 19:33, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
• The tram and the landmark buildings along it seem to be more notable than the street itself. The tram is also already covered in Matlock, Derbyshire, so merge the information about the notable buildings into the Matlock article. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 14:42, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete This is a road in a small town - no real notability outside the town Corpx 05:16, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge relevant material to Matlock per Elkman. LexisNexis, Google Book, Questia and Gutenberg (the last usually very good for turn-of-the-century sources) turned up nothing especially noteworthy.Jlittlet 18:24, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep seems to have some historical significance and also has several landmarks, although sources would need to be provided particularly for the historical section, although it appears to be notable.--JForget 22:52, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom and corpx non notable further they are thousands of other roads by the same name.Pharaoh of the Wizards 01:06, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
