No proof of notability. OKNoah (talk) 16:00, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

• Keep This is a major thoroughfare in Vancouver. I believe the prevailing consensus is that major thoroughfares in major cities are notable while sidestreets are generally not (excepting for ones with substantial independant coverage). ThemFromSpace 16:12, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

I don't see any special exceptions for streets in Wikipedia:Notability --OKNoah (talk) 04:11, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Numbered highways in national or state/provincial systems are what are considered notable. Simple streets pass GNG or die. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:46, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

• Keep - Not only is this a major thoroughfare in a major city, but it's the location and namesake for the King Edward Station in the SkyTrain system. Such investment is only made at locations that are considered vital in a major transportation system.--Oakshade (talk) 22:09, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

I don't an assumption about investment makes it notable by Wikipedia standards. --OKNoah (talk) 04:11, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Notability is not inherited from the SkyTrain station, either from its location or its naming (people who have ships named after them, for instance, do not become notable for that). - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:46, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

It would be impossible for there not to be extremely extensive government reports with analysis, traffic and pedestrian patterns and the impact on the area of this street by having a station on this street, thus passing even WP:GNG. There is far too much investment and civic importance for such reports not to be done.--Oakshade (talk) 23:23, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect to Vancouver#Transportation. We do not give streets, even major thoroughfares, a pass on notability; they must pass WP:GNG. This is a plain, common, unremarkable road with no evidence of passing WP:GNG. However, there may be some here that can be added to the section of the city's article regarding transportation, and redirects are cheap. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:46, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
