NN local street, no indication of notability. MB 06:04, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Of the streets in the inner parts of Hobart, it is notable if the time and effort had been put into editing the article - as trove adequately shows there have been activities, locations and since 1884, that go well beyond the notion of not notable, but then there's no accounting for lack of interest and effort compared to what is offered... Being parallel to Liverpool Street, it wouldnt take much to have an article the same as liverpool, its just nobody has bothered... JarrahTree 10:48, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that two streets run parallel doesn't mean that they are equally notable. We have articles about Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, but not Camden Drive which runs parallel to it, and Wall Street in Manhattan, but not Pine Street which runs parallel to it. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:10, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify a possible misunderstanding - Hobart in Tasmania in Australia in the city centre has blocks of historically important buildings and addresses which are spread throughout the centre, where streets and blocks are in no way 'more notable' than others, I had not even considered liverpool as being more notable or less than this street when I put the comment up - as a current mainland Australian, I would agree with your assertion that sometime parallel streets in some central city areas in the mainland of Australia have exactly what you say, real drop off between blocks or streets of significant historic or notable structures - as a former resident of Hobart/Tasmania I believe the point made is possibly a misunderstanding the dynamic of historic city centre areas such as Hobart which due to its early city development which locates a spread of significant historic places. Due to the nature of the spread of significant items within the streetscapes of the city from the 1830s, the existence of the Catholic church buildings on the corner with the harrington street, and the mix of the notable prohibitionist group, as well as the congregational buuldings, I believe that brisbane street material that is easily available on trove (where most of the citations come from) show that it is a component of the Hobart city centre historical fabric that is neither greater or lesser than the parallel Liverpool street.

  • Delete per nom. I looked at this entire street on Google Maps Street View, and it doesn't appear to be a major thoroughfare of the kind that would merit an article here. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:46, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Focus of significant colonial activity. The Drover's Wife (talk) 09:04, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. More significant colonial history can be added, eg, Convict penitentiary and chapel. Downsize43 (talk) 11:07, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per JarrahTree, The Drover's Wife an Downsize43. Deus et lex (talk) 22:56, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
