lettered ones., let's say 150. For the present list there are 80, including most but not all of the best-known through streets, and a good many minor ones in historic districts, mostly
Brooklyn Heights. I have in fact argued, with considerable support, that in historic places, like the City of London and the old parts of Dublin and Edinburgh, every street is notable, and could with a little work be proven to be so, as there is exhaustive coverage in print. . That obviously doesn't include all of the present day cities. Brooklyn is not as important, & only 350 years old, as those 3. For the older cities in the US, I think every street in their historic downtown core could be shown notable., and the major present day arterial streets. I'm not however about to do this, even my own borderline notable street, but they would make appropriate school projects. Redlinks of those for people who might want to do articles would be a good idea--it would save them from working on the truly non-notable. I note

omitted. I'm not quite ssure how to deal with this. It might possibly be one place where a category might be better than a list, but then again it might be useful to have a checklist of which ones do have articles. Encyclopedias normally include atlases and gazeteers. We do not have a rule that WP is not a gazeteeer.
325:
deleting this list does not prevent someone from writing an article about any of the streets. The vast majority would not meet criteria for notability or verifiability, however. There are streets in major cities that have been written about in-depth, even some in
Brooklyn, but most of these would

And this list is , in fact, none of these: is lists no tourist attractions, hotels, etc. It's a weak attempt at a gazetteer. a listing of geographic places. Gazetteers are appropriate parts of encyclopedias. The omission from the NOT paragraph is deliberate. WP can include an atlas & an index
373:
Looking at the index to an actual atlas, I see there are approximately 1500 named streets in brooklyn (and 500 numbered or lettered ones)--more than I thought. I agree the overwhelming majority of them are not notable. I'd guess that about 5 to 10% of them are, including a few of the numbered and

streets in brooklyn, the 5% or so that are not numbered or lettered streets. But its very incomplete, including some very minor streets and omitting some very major ones. Looking at the list, I think articles could be written about perhaps one-third of the ones here, and an equal number that are

Although I'm normally for keeping lists this one has so few links to articles and I can't see any way it can be expanded beyond a simple (possibly very long) list. 11:10, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
