[edit] Welbeck Street

Welbeck Street (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

As with everything else I'm dredging up whilst cleaning up Category:Streets in London, sending it to AfD instead of prodding as named geographic locations are always contentious. Yet another of the streets with a famous former resident but nothing else to indicate why they warrant their own article. As with all of these, I'm perfectly willing to be convinced if anyone can dig up anything interesting about the street. — iridescent (talk to me!) 22:39, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Doesn't look to be a major notable street in London.--JForget 01:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per lack of notability. It'll be directory level to have pages for every street out there Corpx 05:34, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep — this is a notable London street in the history of medicine, including a blue plaque. Notice its range of categories. Do any experts on medical history here disagree? — Jonathan Bowen 14:54, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep - just scrapes in on notability imo. -- Roleplayer 00:35, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Jonathan Bowen. Bearian 02:04, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep There are (and were) a number of other major medical institutions there--I've just added a few but don't really have facilities for a good search on this. DGG (talk) 03:22, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Per WP not being a directory, but I'm open to changing this !vote if someone has a different interpretation of WP:NOT. Coldmachine^Talk 06:41, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
• Comment, not voting: I just looked up this article because I wanted to learn about the street. This shows that some people do look up the article. I looked it up because of the hospital there and I wanted to see if the street had some history (it seems inappropriate to mention the history of the street in the hospital article). My feeling would be to keep but I am not yet well versed in wikipedia policy. Mrs.EasterBunny 19:12, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - Again, this is one of those sections of London where you'll find historical significance on almost any street, if not written about in the internet age. User DGG's findings above, for example. --Oakshade 23:24, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
