Blackfriars Street

I am afraid I cannot approve of User:Parrot of Doom cursory removal of the edit I added. However I do not which to reciprocate problematic behaviour, burt rather suggest the people discuss the section which was removed.

The name of the street which goes over the bridge is Blackfriars Street.^[1] The National Labour Press was located at No. 30. The premises was subjected to a police raid in 1916 and the press dismantled as part of the suppression of the pacifist The Tribunal which the NLP printed for the No Conscription Fellowship.^[2]

User:Parrot of Doom noted "(revert - what does any of this have to do with the bridge?)"

Certainly the street which goes over the bridge has an awful lot to do with the bridge. However I doubt whether Blackfriars Street deserves it's own page. Please check the map, it is only a short street, and hence it would seem most suitable to add material from the vicinity of the bridge here. True Blackfriars Road has its own page, but unfortunately User:Parrot of Doom did not move the material to a new page, which perhaps if other material can be found about the street might be a solution. Bear in mind that we are working on an encyclopedia whose principal aim is to be of use to people many of whom may be interested in local history. Simply scrapping someones contribution without discussions is not very helpful.

I suggest we restore the section here, until such time as enough material has been collected such that a page on Blackfriars Street would be viable on its own account. Leutha (talk) 21:41, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Concur with removal; the solution to an article on a particular building not existing isn't to dump the material into the article on the nearest landmark which does have an article. The National Labour Press has nothing to do with the bridge, and there's no suggestion of any connection (e.g. they wanted their offices to be near a bridge). The material on the raid is already covered at the correct location, National Labour Press, so the putative researcher isn't losing any information. ‑ Iridescent 22:12, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article is about the structure, not the properties that reside on the street. If there isn't enough material for an article on the street then perhaps that might suggest that there's nothing particularly notable about it. In which case, there's nothing noteworthy to add here, either. Parrot of Doom 22:15, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
