Originally given a PROD tag that was removed by the article's author, this ultra-short article offers no explanation of the subject's notability, as per the standards of WP:GNG. And Adoil Descended (talk) 23:48, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete as hoax. It is not a major route in Steinbach, Manitoba, and [http://geodepot.statcan.ca http://geodepot.statcan.ca]] was unable to find such an avenue or street or road in Steinbach with that name. --Bejnar (talk) 23:53, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

:: You have got to be kidding me. This https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=lumber+avenue+manitoba&sugexp=chrome,mod=19&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 proves that this avenue even exists. Perhaps User:Bejnar should not rely on one source for all of his claims. --Kijoorete-Bahnhof (talk) 23:57, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete It's not a hoax [https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=49.525833,-96.683889&spn=0.1,0.1&t=m&q=49.525833,-96.683889 according to Google Maps], but it's an unremarkable local road, and I can't find any coverage of it beyond addresses and a police blotter.

:: Do Not Delete Thousands of people live on this road and tens of thousands of people know of it. --Kijoorete-Bahnhof (talk) 00:08, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete - Not a hoax. I actually did G-streetview for the entire length of this road. It's 1km long of mostly single family homes spread apart. Nothing remarkable at all. The contention above that it "thousands of people live on this road" is dubious. If it is decided that WP is about everything that's verifiable, then perhaps this wouldn't be a problem. But WP is not like that. --Oakshade (talk) 01:16, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
