Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dover Street
at least for a while. I appreciate the work that Tyrenius has done, and I'm willing to let these run and see where they go. I'm still very concerned that these have crossed over into #Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information| an indiscrimiate collection of information territory. I don't believe that a street is inherently notable just because something important once happened there or something on it is important, any more than a pair of socks is notable because somebody important did something while wearing them. To my mind the street has to be known for something like Saville Row or synonymous with something like Threadneedle Street or Downing Street. But it seems like there's enough potential for these articles to qualify. And it's also possible that my horizions are too limited; this is not a paper encyclopedia, so perhaps it's plausible that we should have 5,410 High_Street articles, each with snippets of history
