Does not establish notability, one sentence. fetch comms 04:12, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article is a harmless stub, and the reference cited makes it clear that the street was quite busy (with a streetcar line operating along the street) until a new Moscow Metro line was built and the streetcar line abandoned. Once notable, always notable. There is another Shkolnaya street in St. Petersburg. -- Eastmain (talk) 04:37, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:STREETS. It doesn't seem to pass notability guidelines with WP:BLVD, WP:CBD, but may find hope in WP:LANDMARK with the tram lines. I still don't think it passes though since the source itself does not go into detail about the prominence of the road in the 1960s and 1970s; it just has a small mention that it was heavily traveled. Heck, the source says this road is just a "lazy lane" now and has been for some time. Without more detail about how this road was ever notable in the past, it's just not notable enough for an article, so delete. --Triadian (talk) 06:53, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - this street seems to have a rather rich and bloody history. Someone might want to explore that avenue further. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 07:33, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If someone wants to research the history and expand this stub, I'll withdraw my vote. In its present form, however, it does not even establish notability.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:58, November 6, 2009 (UTC) Withdrawn per NVO's expansion. Keep.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 03:21, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
Delete: Reference proves it exists, and documents its history, but does not establish notability. GreyWyvern (talk) 17:59, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Initially created the article from a red link here after finding sufficient material to bring its quality up to that of other Russian streets. However, if consensus is that Wikipedia is better off without this information, no worry. KingPrometheus (talk) 00:50, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Question: is there an article on the Russian Wikipedia? I don't know Russian and am unable to check. If so, there may be further information suggesting notability there. TJRC (talk) 01:04, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Answer. ru:Школьная улица is a disambiguation page with blue links to streets of this name in Lipetsk and St. Petersburg and red links to various others, including one in Tagansky District, Moscow, which, I presume, is the one described in our article.

Keep - expansion by NVO conclusively demonstrates notability. - Biruitorul ^Talk 03:04, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep (changed !vote); the expansion clearly asserts and sources notability. (Outstanding work, User:NVO.) TJRC (talk) 17:46, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
