[edit] College Crescent

A street in Melbourne. Currently the stub makes no real claims for notability, so it's either show them or delete. Grutness...wha? 04:35, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• I have just edited it, perhaps it is notable now? Raffles mk 11:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
  • You'll make a more convincing case by citing sources that discuss this street, such as history books that give a detailed history of it (if it has one). Uncle G 13:56, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. At the moment, there's nothing notable listed in the article. --Brad Beattie ^(talk) 17:03, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete — there are a lot of streets in the world.... i doubt enough room for all of them on wikipedia. give a sourced reason to keep and it should, otherwise i don't see whats notable about it. JoeSmack ^Talk(p-review!) 21:20, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete -- not notable. - Longhair\^talk 00:13, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete as per JoeSmack. Article does not even try to assert notability. "it's a street, with lots of traffic" (I paraphrase, but that's the substance of it) does not amount to an assertion of notability. --BrownHairedGirl ^{(talk) • (contribs)} 01:30, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually, it's part of a major through-route between Melbourne's eastern and western suburbs, as the article makes clear. Not sure whether that makes it notable (is there a set of notability criteria for roads?), but the Eastern Freeway (part of the same route) has a page. Raffles mk 12:15, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Having said that, I doubt that the street is notable. You'll note I haven't voted. Raffles mk 13:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. A street containing residential colleges at the University of Melbourne although the University of Melbourne claims that some are of significance see [1]. While it has been mentioned in news articles in Ebbsco's Australia and New Zealand Database, most are in reference to traffic accidents and so forth. Capitalistroadster 02:39, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
