Streets

Thanks for your contributions. Cheers, -Will Beback 10:41, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How many LA streets are you going to add to the Wikipedia? Although you have been doing a good job, my personal opinion is that you've starting to get down to the non-notable and unecessary streets when you created 3rd Street (which should be moved to 3rd Street (Los Angeles, California if it is kept). ^Blank ^Verse 09:58, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you look through the Wikipedia Rules and Guidelines, you can find all sorts of guidelines on what is and is not notable, but then those rules are not necessarily followed if an article is sent through the gauntlet at Articles for deletion. I'm not sure what I would use as my criteria for the inclusion of major arterial streets, but from what I've seen of 3rd Street in LA, it is a rather unremarkable avenue.

I just checked, and one street that I would include as notable that is not listed at Category:Streets in Los Angeles, California is Central Avenue. These days it is a rather dismal street, but it used to be the heart of the segregated black community in Los Angeles (sometimes referred to as the West Coast's Harlem). That meant that it was also the heart of the jazz and R&B music scenes in Los Angeles in the '40's and '50's. See:
