Lacks any claim to notability and is a clearly fails to meet WP:GEOROAD. This road is roughly a tenth of a mile long. The article is WP:SYNTH, we already have an article about the prison that was located on this street. Also, a road does not WP:INHERIT notability from a building located on it.

Delete nothing special about this local street with no significant coverage. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 15:53, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- After the new revisions of the article, changing !vote to merge to Victoria Prison as that seems to be most appropriate space for this content. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 14:20, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Victoria Prison, which is the topic of most of the current text of the article. Deryck C. 16:07, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Victoria Prison, not suitable for a standalone article. Riteboke (talk) 17:33, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge the content about the Prison to Victoria Prison, but content about the road itself is probably better at Tai Kwun. Thryduulf (talk) 17:55, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The article has had significant improvements since my previous comment and is now focused on the road, which seems to be notable. Thryduulf (talk) 17:05, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge into Victoria Prison. I have beefed up the content with referenced material, and more can certainly be added, as the street is one of the oldest in Hong Kong. Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 21:36, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Changing my !vote to keep after finding/ adding additional referenced material. Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 10:23, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. At least one building on the road described in this article is a listed building, so unless it gets its own article it deserves to be kept per WP:GEOLAND. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:58, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- 1. GEOLAND (used for geographic regions, populated places, and natural features) is the wrong guidelines for this, its WP:GEOROAD 2. A road does not inherit notability from a building. The notability of the prison is irrelevant. As per GEOROAD, a local road like this has to pass WP:GNG on its own merits.--Rusf10 (talk) 17:38, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Necrothesp was obvioulsy referring to No. 20 Hollywood Road, which is a listed building described and pictured in the article, and does not have its own article. They were not referring to Central Police Station (Hong Kong) as your are suggesting, nor to Victoria Prison, which are both Declared monuments and in the street, but have their own articles. Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 09:01, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - Does not matter which building was being referred to. I did not suggest it was any of those buildings. Just because the building is notable does not make the road notable. If the building (which has an address not on this road, but on Hollywood Rd) is notable, create an article about it, but it still doesn't give notability to the road.--Rusf10 (talk) 14:42, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      - It does matter, at least for those of us who actually read the article. Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 17:50, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
