Talk:Aldersgate Street

Aldersgate Street
"A street leading north from London Wall towards Clerkenwell." Unlike e.g. 24 Sussex Drive there is no metonymy here, and we are not a street atlas. Equinox ◑ 13:44, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Do you have any reason to want to keep this? If so, what it is? Renard Migrant (talk) 15:53, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * And how does this "finding" in any way comport with WT:CFI? Delete DCDuring TALK 15:11, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I disagree with this particular interpretation of CFI. There also isn't a dang thing in CFI about roads or streets.  We are being overly restrictive and deleting too much stuff, and these two deletions are a perfect example of that.  Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken) (Locker) 16:42, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if it's covered by CFI (yet), but common sense would suggest we avoid this: what you said about CFI applies equally to Main Street. How many cities, towns, hamlets, burgs and other assorted places in the US don't have a Main Street? Chuck Entz (talk) 22:09, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Well CFI isn't CFE; it's not criteria for exclusion it's criteria for inclusion . How does this meet any of them? When you say "I disagree with this particular interpretation of CFI", what interpretation is this? Renard Migrant (talk) 14:31, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

 * There was an underground station named "Aldersgate Street" opened in 1865, but it is now named "Barbican" after two name changes (since 1968). Donnanz (talk) 17:13, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

 * OTOH Aldersgate (at 17:46, 21 June 2014 (UTC) a redirect to Aldersgate Street) would seem to be lexical in that it refers metonymously to a critical event in the life of and the history of . It is analogous to road to Damascus. I only found one citation at Google books that has that same interpretation. DCDuring TALK  17:46, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete (same as below). Renard Migrant (talk) 14:34, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete, not because it's a street name, but because it's generally considered as a name, but not as a word (unlike e.g. Strand, Champs-Élysées or Canebière which should be accepted, because these names are considered as words). I have a related question: very often, German street names are written as single words, e.g. Friedrichstraße. Are these names considered as words in German? I feel they might, but I don't know for sure. Lmaltier (talk) 17:14, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
