The result was Delete-. The article would sustains notability due to the existence of two notable buildings but there is no verification sustained by reliable sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JodyB (talk • contribs) 20:41, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As with everything else I'm dredging up whilst cleaning up Category:Streets in London, sending it to AfD instead of prodding as named geographic locations are always contentious. I cannot see any grounds for keeping it; the street from The Bill is a red-herring coincidence as the TV series isn't set anywhere near here; is two famous former residents enough to make the street notable? In my opinion, no — iridescent (talk to me!) 21:56, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per lack of notability Corpx 05:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - nothing to assert its notability -- Roleplayer 00:40, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as it has a Blue plaque - an historical marker. Bearian 02:09, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The Blue plaque's not on the street, it's on a building that happens to be on the street -- and there are over 700 Blue Plaques in London to begin with.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Calton (talk • contribs) 14:35, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep There seem to be also 2 other notable buildings. DGG (talk) 06:00, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. No sign of notability for the street. --Calton | Talk 14:35, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I would think any street that close to the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey is notable,
certainly as part of the Whitehall, being the center of power of an extremely historic empire. Per DGG, several historic buildings on it do make a street notable. --Oakshade 19:47, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]- Comment Whatever it is, it certainly wasn't part of Whitehall; it's well on the other side of Westminster Abbey. To clarify, this isn't a broad tree-lined avenue, major highway etc but a tiny 50-yard stub of a Westminster side street (so short there's not space for the name in the A-Z - it just shows as "Bar S") behind the Liberal Democrats' offices — iridescent (talk to me!) 20:39, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I have an A-Z too and see the same thing. I still would say any street a stone's throw away from Westminster Abbey has historical significance and I'm sure with time, probably from actual pre-net age books, content will appear.--Oakshade 16:23, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete as lack of notability does not justify an entry. --Gavin Collins 10:09, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
