[edit] Benson Street (Manhattan)

A 144.1 foot long culdesac is not notable. We're going to list every street in the world? User:Zoe|(talk) 05:39, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

To be honest, I had hoped for a situation where generic street name pages would be established, with specifc named streets getting space in alphabetical order. Thus, there would be one Benson Street, with sections for all of the individual Bensons Streets, instead of one for each community. Obviously, I lost out on that one, and had to make due with with what was available. -

• 'comment;But your original idea was perhaps a good one, but might take some thought about how to do it without getting all the little ones in as well. And it may be hard to think of a title.DGG 03:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

• I sure hope Wikipedia doesn't try and list every street in the world - but this is a good start. Delete. --humblefool® 19:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete We should and have articles on notable streets such as Broadway, Manhattan; Fleet Street, London; or Canal Street, New Orleans. There is no point is creating articles about every street in the world, if they are not otherwise notable. The author has at least cited sources: a 1978 big book of streets, and has apparently checked that the street has not been renamed via Google maps and satellite views. But such efforts should be reserved for streets which are not of trivial importance and which have been written about. What is the approximate number of streets in the world? Who will update these articles when names are changed or streets are abandoned? Edison 20:04, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I think monopoly board streets are about the cutoff point as to how notable streets should be for inclusion, and this falls far, far below. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 21:06, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I actually found the article quite intresting since I go throught there all the time... but yeah, pretty pointless. I was leaning towards keep... but... eh... i don't know. MrMacMan 09:23, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
