Talk:The "Hole in the Road"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

from VfD:

The basis for placing this on speedy deletion appeared to be that the city was unnamed: which is why "what links here" was invented, revealing that it is in fact Sheffield, UK. I think a decision needs to be made on whether this is notable enough for an encyclopedia i.e. whether it's made up or whether it needs clean up. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 00:46, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge into something regarding Sheffield. --JuntungWu 01:54, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually Sheffield has had a dangling hyperlink, pointing to this, for some time. Uncle G 02:11, 2005 Jan 12 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable. Megan1967 03:33, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with Sheffield anyway, then Delete, it'll grow there. Wyss 06:38, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • I suspect that it grew out of the dangling hyperlink in Sheffield in the first place. Sheffield has a lot of links to separate articles for its landmarks, a lot of which have been written. If you are going to merge The "Hole in the Road", then you'll have to merge all of them as well, otherwise you'll make things terribly lop-sided. Such a merger will be a lot of work. I don't think that you'll get it done. Uncle G 13:30, 2005 Jan 12 (UTC)
  • Merge and don't redirect. If it's included there, it'll have a better chance of being expanded, if that's at all possible. 131.211.210.157 10:56, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • It is a major landmark in Sheffield (although not unique to Sheffield), and so does merit an mention in wikipedia. merge into Sheffield landmarks, a meta article with the details of the minor ones and summaries of the ones with large articles. Thryduulf 22:41, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge, no redirect necessary. RadicalSubversiv E 01:03, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Castle Square

I looked at merging this into the Sheffield article but there didn't seem to be a suitable place for it to go. Instead I have created a new article: Castle_Square,_Sheffield, which is the official name for this area. I have made a more complete history of theis square and included the details of its time as "The Hole in the Road".
