[edit] Dorset Street, London

Dorset Street, London (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

As with everything else I'm finding whilst cleaning up Category:Streets in London, sending it to AfD instead of prodding as named geographic locations are always contentious. Does a street that no longer exist warrant an article owing to events that happened there? This is a procedural nom to get a community consensus on whether it should be kept, so I abstain — iridescent (talk to me!) 21:29, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Unless someone comes up with more than the Ripper connection. All it needs is a mention on the Ripper page. MarkBul 21:33, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and improve content with descriptions and illustrations of the 1888 geography of the street. MattHucke(t) 21:53, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as independent evidence of notability has not been provided. --Gavin Collins 23:14, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I don't think that a murder case will make this page notable.--JForget 01:25, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - ditto the Ripper connection, though that actually took place in Miller's Court, which would suggest that the latter is the one that needs an article. -- Roleplayer 00:41, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above as NN crime scene - the crime is notable, but not the scene. Bearian 02:11, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Question Iridescent, could you please give us some idea of where you have already looked so we don't duplicate. I would suggest that perhaps it might have been a better idea to do a smaller number at a time--I want to try to look for famous institutions and residences but I only have time to do one or two in the five days.DGG (talk) 03:25, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
