[edit] W. 21st St., W. 41st St. (Tulsa) and S. 57th W. Ave.

While closing a recent VfD discussion on another West Tulsa road, I found these three related articles (and the redirect W. 41st St.). The same arguments seem to apply. The current content of the article seems to be an attempt to describe in prose what would be more easily learned from a map. Rossami (talk) 04:03, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Articles on individual street addresses? Oh please. Delete. Radiant_* 07:57, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non-encyclopedic. W. is not a general knowledge base. --Smithfarm
• Delete, generic street names. DaveTheRed 19:01, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and move to disambiguated names. Show me a map that has the information in these articles. --SPUI (talk) 05:24, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • I have added Yahoo maps to each of the articles, the article text matches the maps. Klonimus 00:50, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I added Yahoo Maps for each of these pages. I personally found these to be insightful articles. Seriously Keep and allow for organic growthKlonimus 09:29, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Subtrivial. I suppose we'll be seeing Gosnold Road, Woods Hole, Massachusetts soon. I would at least think that an article on W. 21st St. would be about the street in Manhattan, and still deletable. -R. fiend 17:18, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  I think they should be renamed to reflect that these streets are in Tulsa. IMHO it is provincialism to assume that W. 21st St. in Manhattan is more notable than W. 21st St. in Tulsa Klonimus 04:23, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • • The relative populations, for instance, of the cities seems to beg to differ, and in any case I said an article on the W. 21st Street in Manhattan should be deleted too. -R. fiend 20:03, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • If I were trying to research/learn about Woods Hole, MA, and Gosnold Road is an important road to that community, I would find the article very valuable and interesting. I would be surprised and happy to find any info. on the web about it.AboutWestTulsa 19:21, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete streetcruft. ComCat 02:00, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all three. Every major city has these numbered streets. This is not Mapquest. -- Riffsyphon1024 07:02, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This applies to all other articles about streets unless they're EXTREMELY notable. /sɪzlæk˺/ 06:24, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. --EnSamulili 13:18, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not a general knowlege base. --Carnildo 03:44, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. These articles show how the connections between communities of West Tulsa function. At the very least, unique info. in each article should be transfered to the appropriate article about the community/communities the road interconnects.AboutWestTulsa 19:21, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Useful, interesting, verifiable information. --Centauri 09:12, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Late Keep, failing that merge. Adequately interesting and informative even for a "random page" user. Kappa 22:48, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
