Talk:A215 road

Redirection of sections

I've merged Portland Road, Beulah Hill and the section of Knights Hill dealing with the road to this article. - iridescent (talk to me!) 19:15, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

And it's already been reverted! Seemed uncontroversial enough to me but there you go... - iridescent (talk to me!) 19:18, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Now the AfD discussion's over, I've gone ahead and reinstated the redirect. I can't see any reason for the content-fork of having two virtually identical articles on the same stretch of tarmac. - iridescent (talk to me!) 23:32, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Walworth Road Merge

I have suggested a merger here. One article makes it much easier for the user and having two articles on identical sections of tarmac seems confusing and unnecessary. Regan123 14:17, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Assuming Portland Road loses its AfD, just go ahead and do it - I can make a far better case for keeping that relatively lengthy article than for Walworth Road's two-line stub. - iridescent (talk to me!) 14:24, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and done it. I've left the external links in the section rather than move them to the bottom, as they're specific to this stretch of the road rather than to the whole A215. - iridescent (talk to me!) 23:36, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, that was fun...

The merge, rewrite & expand is complete and each stretch of road now has at least a stubby section of its own. Now, on to A1 road (London)! — iridescent (talk to me!) 11:02, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

GA Passed

This article has passed the GA noms. For FA class, I would reccommend that a history about how the roadway was constucted be added as a seperate heading to satisfy FA's comprehensivness criteria and I would reccommend that you move the external links section from the middle of the article to the end. Tarret 22:28, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks... I'm going to leave this one for others to expand as I've moved on to other things, but I disagree with about the external links - I left them attached to the section rather than at the end, as they relate specifically to that section and not to the road as a whole — iridescent (talk to me!) 22:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Question

Is it Knights Hill or Knight's Hill? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 20:20, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Knights Hill (no apostrophe) according to the A-Z. – iridescent 20:29, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Historic discussion

Hallo, I've just created a dab page at Portland Road, over the redirect to this page. But at the talk page I found discussion relevant to this page, so I will copy it below here for historical reference, rather than just deleting it from where it's now irrelevant. PamD 11:37, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Copied from Talk:Portland Road, 3 August 2017

Keep - One of the reasons that I don't want this deleted is because I have not yet finished this article, I'm going to add: 1.)The fatal stabbing that took place here and 2.)I was hopping that along with the other roads that have links on the Category:Streets in Croydon Category, this one could be a headliner.

I am adding alot of Articles to Wikipedia and unlike the article on Portland Road this is a main one. Often after the high street this is the most recognized in South Norwood. So please do not DELETE! Pafcool2 17:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Was the fatal stabbing of someone notable? I know Portland Road very well - what makes it different from a thousand other London suburban roads? Regan123 17:13, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Crossposted from User Talk:Pafcool2:

As I say on the article for deletion talk page I think this is a totally inappropriate nomination for deletion. I've taken the liberty of expanding your article with some more facts and with appropriate references so they can't level the "oh, you can't prove it's important" charge at the page. submit your opinion. Looking at your edit history, you seem to have done a lot of articles on London - if you're not already a member, you might want to consider joining WikiProject London - iridescent (talk to me!) 19:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Redirect

As this now duplicates pretty much verbatim A215_road#Portland_Road and the AfD discussion is over, I've taken the liberty of redirecting it again to avoid a pointless content fork. Before anyone complains about my losing people's work etc, I reiterate that I'm the author of all but three lines of the version of the article I've just deleted & replaced with the redirect. - iridescent (talk to me!) 23:30, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
