Street grid (Denver–Aurora Metropolitan Area)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Per WP:NOTDIRECTORY, has no sources, is excessively long and confusing and really doesn't have any encyclopedic value. JayJay^{What did I do?} 03:47, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge what's salvageable: A list of seemingly every street in the Denver area without much anything else really doesn't really equal an article worth keeping. There are some factoids in the paragraphs that could go into the articles for the individual cities, like the way the streets were when Auraria was first founded.

- The stuff that can be salvaged could go into Denver#City streets and/or Aurora, Colorado#Transportation Supernerd11 :D Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 05:49, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The topic isn't notable, and the article is the product of original research by an editor studying maps. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:31, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Looks like original research. Pburka (talk) 19:05, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to a more comprehensive article about Denver streets. The list portion doesn't look usable, but the lead and the first section does. Epicgenius (talk) 03:24, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you believe that reliable sources can be found to support the lead and first section? It looks like pure WP:OR to me. The author even describes driving around Denver to observe the streets. Pburka (talk) 03:52, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm pretty sure you could find at least a couple nuggets of truth in this, probably from the local historical society or library. Supernerd11 :D Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 04:56, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Perhaps so, Supernerd11, but we don't keep articles at AfD based on theoretical sources that might possibly be found, but rather on actual sources brought forward during the course of the debate. And when you recommend merging, there needs to be an identified target for the merge. What is it in this case? Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:35, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - It's probably worth mentioning in a sentence or two in Grid plan. Epicgenius (talk) 12:45, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        I strongly oppose a merge into grid plan. That article has nothing whatsoever to do with Denver. Pburka (talk) 01:30, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
delete There's no need to record an inevitably inaccurate list of all of Denver's streets. Mangoe (talk) 11:46, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
