Talk:Birdcage Walk

RFD discussion: February–April 2023
A street in London. Previously nominated as a member of cat:en:Named roads. CFI, by my interpretation, requires roads to be attested through figurative use. But this term does not even have any figurative definitions. &mdash; excarnateSojourner (talk &middot; contrib) 21:24, 26 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep as above. DonnanZ (talk) 22:20, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * how can you say keep as above when he;s nominated it to be deleted not to be kept Fishing Publication (talk) Fishing Publication (talk) 14:11, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @Fishing Publication DonnanZ is referring to his vote in, the section right above this one, since that term was nominated for the same reason as this term. &mdash; excarnateSojourner (talk &middot; contrib) 18:35, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Please disregard this, as no meaningful argument has been presented. --Lambiam 11:43, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete unless some figurative sense is identified and verified, as required by WT:CFI. — Sgconlaw (talk) 18:24, 27 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Beware. The nominator wants to renominate them all; in Category talk:en:Named roads (at the bottom) he stated: "I think I will re-nominate these individually over time." I would like to nip that in the bud. DonnanZ (talk) 19:04, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment Apparently "By the mid-19th century, the walk had gained notoriety as a cruising ground for homosexual trysts" (wikipedia) Drapetomanic (talk) 08:47, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * surely idle-minded panic and hysteria  nothing to see here Fishing Publication (talk) 14:08, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * We would still need quotations showing that such a history has led to a figurative sense (for example, “They took a stroll down Birdcage Walk” meaning “They had a homosexual tryst”). Otherwise, the presence of a subjectively interesting history isn’t enough to satisfy WT:CFI. — Sgconlaw (talk) 00:47, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment well,  placename,  proper noun,  Red Square,  Whitehall,   i would support deletion  if we couldn't find any  textual references,  i agree with the criterion you described with figurative use ,, Delete  in that case Fishing Publication (talk) 14:10, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Squares haven't been included in the category so far. Perhaps they should be. DonnanZ (talk) 15:43, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * No, not a good idea. Category:en:Named roads is toxic, and best avoided/boycotted. DonnanZ (talk) 18:27, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Failed: no figurative sense has been found despite more than a month of discussion. — Sgconlaw (talk) 17:51, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
