This article was nominated for deletion on 4 April 2007. The result of the discussion was keep.

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)

[edit] 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)
