Southwest Boulevard

This is already covered in the West Tulsa, Oklahoma article and is redundant unless the author posted something else to it. -- Riffsyphon1024 03:41, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and allow for organic growth. --SPUI (talk) 03:47, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, roadcruft. Megan1967 04:01, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable road. I guess SPUI wants an article on every street in the world to go along with every school and every bowling alley. RickK 05:27, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • No, only the major ones. Sometimes I wonder how certain people get sysop status. --SPUI (talk) 05:49, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Agreeing with you on matters of article content is not a prerequisite for adminship. --Slowking Man 07:44, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
      • Not being openly hostile should be though. --SPUI (talk) 09:57, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Spui, keep it civil please. Radiant! 09:21, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
      • The same to RickK. --SPUI (talk) 09:57, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • Much of what RickK said is essentially true though: you do seem to want articles for almost every road. See the Transportation section of Wikipedia:What's in, what's out Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:36, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
          • Thanks to suburbanization, the vast majority of roads are non-notable and don't belong on Wikipedia. --SPUI (talk) 17:20, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Unnecessary stub; the subject is already covered elsewhere, and there isn't enough content to justify a separate article. Delete. --Slowking Man 07:44, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Slowking. Radiant! 09:21, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep parts of Route 66 and allow for organic growth. Kappa 09:30, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as duplicate information. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:39, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
• First of all, this can hardly be the only "Southwest Boulevard" in the world. Furthermore, the article does not establish notability. Being "the most significant street in West Tulsa" does us no good if it doesn't give any indication of why. If it's just the main thoroughfare then who cares? If there's actually something notable about it, like there is with Broadway or Fleet Street (not that it has to be as significant as those), then mention what it is and let us vote based on that. Every city/town/village in the world has a most significant street (which can be a POV statement in itself), but if that's all that can be said about them then articles on them are worthless.

  • It should be moved to Southwest Boulevard (Tulsa) or something similar. --SPUI (talk) 22:52, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I should have spent more time to add more detail to this article, but as I am trying to concentrate mainly on communities in West Tulsa, I skipped over many of the relevances this street has to the culture, history and economics of West Tulsa. Not only the Route 66 connection, but to oil, transportation, the history of Tulsa and Oklahoma. I did plan to expand upon the article, if no other Wikipedians from Tulsa or those working on Route 66, didn't help. I'm new, and would appreciate any assistance/advice anyone can give on how to preserve this article from deletion.AboutWestTulsa 04:27, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • If you can improve upon this article to where it is encyclopedic and proves that it is notable enough, then it will not be deleted. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:05, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. You've got to be kidding. Gamaliel 08:04, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, a road has to be pretty damn famous or significant to be notable in Wikipedia. DaveTheRed 21:23, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, but fix the title to include the location - David Gerard 00:42, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Route 66 is indeed notable, and accordingly has its own article. This doesn't seem to go beyond local interest. Delete. Edeans 18:24, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
