===[[Bronx River Road]]===
Doesn't establish notability: Road vanity. --[[User:fvw|fvw]][[User talk:Fvw|<SMALL><FONT COLOR="green">*</FONT></SMALL>]] 21:52, 2004 Dec 29 (UTC)
This was intended to be a link from the neighborhood list for Yonkers, New York. It's not just a road, it's also a neighborhood as well.
* '''Delete'''. My concern is, appart of saying it's a road (or a neighborhood) what is specific ? Many important roads on the planet had fire. Does not look very specific to me. [[User:Gtabary|Gtabary]] 22:45, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
* '''Keep'''. For several reasons, but most importantly the deletionist elements around here are making up non-sense terms like ''road vanity''. What, did the road get a Wikipedia account and decide to write an article on itself? [[User:Nricardo|Nelson Ricardo]] 22:51, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. Nothing noteworthy about the road or the neighborhood that I can see, according to the article. "Wakefield Towers" might (or might not) be worthy of an article, but not the road it's on. [[User:Shimeru|Shimeru]] 22:54, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)
*'''Keep'''. Specific? It's very specific. Bronx River Road is a distinct area of Yonkers. It's both a street and neighborhood, like Pelham Parkway in the Bronx. Don't think of this as a "street" article, think of it as a "neighborhood" article. If Crestwood can get an entry, so can Bronx River Road. Is it the word "Road" that causing confusion?
*'''Keep'''. [[User:Mikkalai|Mikkalai]]
*'''Keep''' seems significant enough, and can be used to link articles on other places together, almost like some kind of pathway. [[User:Kappa|Kappa]] 01:00, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
*'''Delete''', not notable. [[User:Megan1967|Megan1967]] 01:23, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
*'''Keep'''. [[User:Rhobite|Rhobite]] 02:15, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)
*Delete: The Bronx River Road runs in Bronx, too (shock!). It's a long road. Calling it a neighborhood is misleading. Suggesting that this neighborhood is organized around this road and is notable enough to standout beyond any other neighborhood anywhere else (e.g. Canberra) is too far a stretch. [[User:Geogre|Geogre]] 04:13, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
**You are confusing the road with Bronx River Parkway. The road is in Yonkers only. [[User:Nricardo|Nelson Ricardo]] 12:01, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)
**You're right. I was confusing the two. I still have to say that a neighborhood needs to be known outside of its own city to be encyclopedic, but I was mistaken about this one. [[User:Geogre|Geogre]] 14:03, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
* '''Merge''' into [[Yonkers, New York]] and '''delete''' -[[User:Skysmith|Skysmith]] 11:09, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
*Bronx River Road was once a street in the Bronx as well, but the name was changed to Webster Avenue.
*'''Keep'''. Maybe I should start Wikiproject:Roads. --[[User:SPUI|SPUI]] 20:53, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' -[[User:Ld|Ld]] | [[User_talk:Ld|talk]] 05:06, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' - What in the hell does road Vanity even mean? --[[User:Irishpunktom|Is Mise le Méas, Irishpunktom]] 11:04, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
**A claim of "road vanity" is the claim that people are writing about the road or street because they live on it themselves. The clearest case of vanity is when someone writes about himself. I must be of wide interest because I am interesting to myself and my friends. By extension, there is "school vanity", "road vanity", "hometown vanity", "boy scout troop vanity": the subject must be interesting because I am associated with it, and I am interested in it. --[[User:BM|BM]] 14:06, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
***I think the "vanity" issue is the balance between the self-actualization needs of contributors, and the needs of Wikipedia users. I think the "vanity" in a vanity article is: "I feel like creating an article of my own, and all the good titles seem to be taken. So, I'll start an article about a soft drink consisting of the ingredients list copied from the label. Or an article about a local shopping mall. Or a list of songs whose titles contain the name of a color." Such articles are "all about '''me'''" regardless of their subject matter.

*'''Keep''' this so-called ''road vanity''. [[User:GRider|GRider]]\<sup>[[User_talk:GRider|talk]]</sup> 23:34, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
*'''Keep'''. [[User:Andrevan|<b><font color="mediumblue">Andre</font></b>]] ([[User_talk:Andrevan|<font color=royalblue>talk</font>]]) 21:31, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)
*Borderline ''keep'' because it's a decent, informative, well-written article. Wouldn't oppose merge-and-delete into [[Yonkers, New York]], which is where it should go ''if'' its main significance is in relation to that town. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] [[User_talk:dpbsmith|(talk)]] 18:32, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' Major local roads are encyclopedic. Wikipedia is very detailed, so these type of articles are common and in fact, I think, should be encouraged (to an extent of course). [[User:Brownman40|Brownman40]] 05:11, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
