Street articles
[edit]Articles that consist of "X is a street in Norolk, Virginia" will probably be speedily deleted. If you want them to stay, you'd better make them at least a stub to start with. Even then, they have to be notable. I see that Granby Street has alreadt gone. Regards, Mr Stephen 13:48, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Slow down, George! These articles won't stay. Mr Stephen 13:53, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Aughie, unless the streets are notable in some way, they will not meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria. Please see Wikipedia:List of bad article ideas regarding streets. Unless you provide information regarding why the street may be notable, such as you did for Church Street, the articles you are creating will likely be speedily deleted. Please provide some information about each street so that its notability can be ascertained. Also, please consider adding Category:Norfolk, Virginia to articles that are related to Norfolk. Thanks.

Please stop creating bad empty articles about streets. These articles are not appropriate for Wikipedia, and it's a mess for us to clean them up and get rid of them. If you continue in this way, you may be blocked. Mangojuicetalk 15:08, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:Ghent 1.jpg
[edit]File:Ghent 1.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Ghent neighborhood house, Norfolk, VA.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Ghent neighborhood house, Norfolk, VA.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 22:44, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
