Earlham Road

Lovely article on a B-road (this road is aka the B1101). But being lovely does not make it encyclopedic or notable. All encyclopedic information could be moved to either Golden Triangle or Norwich and what's left deleted. Proto t c 10:23, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

delete not as bad as the others. Some information might be merged into the Norwich article. --Tim Pope 19:14, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Reluctantly delete. Nice article and a nice road (I used to live just off it). I'm disappointed that the article misses the most notable thing about the road, though: a bus fell several feet through a pothole and got stuck there sometime in (iirc) the 1980s. If the article can be expanded to twice its current length, I would support it being kept (as Earlham Road, Norwich, surely?). But at the moment, it should be merged into Golden Triangle and Norwich, I'd suggest. Nice road, but it's not that notable! :o) — OwenBlacker 21:00, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Delete. It's good writing. But it doesn't belong here. Nandesuka 23:52, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is fine. Secret london 15:35, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Surprisingly thorough and well-written article on a verifiable encyclopedic topic. Factitious 23:18, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. This is the kind of article Wikipedi excels at. I'm awestruck at the perpetual transformation of the mundane. --Tony Sidaway ^Talk 02:17, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Given the nubmer of articles about the Streets of London, I think Norwich should be allowed some as well. Edward 17:16:20, 2005-08-14 (UTC)
Delete, I used to live on this road when i was at UEA, i can tell you it is totally not-notable (as far as the 'pedia is concerned), nice/well written means nothing, it just isnt notable enough. Martin - The non-blue non-moose 22:09, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I was the original author of this article, and apart from the fact that I'd be sad to see it deleted, it's worth noting that someone else saw fit to make additions (photograph). Ark 23:26, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
keep - nice article. Trollderella 01:57, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
