[edit] Notability
Could someone look at the Falls of Neuse Road and evaluate its notability? Thanks.--Appraiser (talk) 16:38, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to have much notability. There doesn't appear to be any controversial decisions made surrounding the road. It's only saving grace might be if it has any kind of state route designation, which, in this case, would be unsigned. --Son (talk) 15:18, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] USST scope
As WP:USRD is working on the scope issue, we should really rework ours. I'm suggesting that it go something like this. The scope of WP:USST is two-fold:
- Cover city streets that are not covered by WP:USRD
- Cover local (non-city) streets that are not covered by WP:USRD
Anything streets that are covered by WP:USRD should remain in WP:USRD and not in WP:USST.
This scope would keep the U.S. Streets project very simple and defined.
Any thoughts? --Son (talk) 00:21, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 00:27, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- Better to just say that we will not put any WP:USST banners on the talk pages of US Road articles, but allow the editing of numbered roads that happen to be streets. AnteaterZot (talk) 02:54, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- "Allow the editing"? You can edit whatever you want, whether or not it's part of your project. But if it's a street, it should be tagged with the streets template, so that people editing it will know they can go here for help. --NE2 03:24, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- Of course. I think that there are so few editors interested in streets, and so little call for help, that it would be easy enough for members of the project to find them and invite them to join. I suggest putting off adding roads to our purview until we run out of things to do on streets articles, which are a horrendous mess. The other day I looked at Category:Streets in Los Angeles County, California, with an eye towards finding ways to give them a unified look and feel, perhaps by an infobox or template. The quality of those articles is so uneven that it made me want to cry. Let's get to work fixing articles. AnteaterZot (talk) 03:47, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- Amen! You are absolutely right. That's what I'm trying to get at here. Let USRD deal with their articles. Let us deal with our articles. By having the projects over lap, it creates a gray area neither project needs. Like you said, let's get to work fixing articles. --Son (talk) 04:44, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Anything that acts as a street should be here, whether or not it's also a main road. Otherwise this project just becomes a "dumping ground" for unwanted articles. --NE2 02:12, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- No, they're not unwanted. This project wants them. --Son (talk) 03:39, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- Then this project should decide what it wants without depending on USRD's criteria. --NE2 03:45, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Roosevelt Avenue (Queens)
Hey, I'm not sure how active this project is anymore at all, but I was just wondering if anyone thought that Roosevelt Avenue in Queens would qualify for notability. Sorry for the brevity in the question, but I just thought I'd ask directly and let the experts decide. matt91486 (talk) 05:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
