Only secondary source about the road is used to source 1 sentence about the name. The other sources are used to discuss various buildings along the road and not the road itself. LondonTown.com and London's Abandoned Tube Stations are not RS. Rs chen 7754 06:12, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

- Merge into Kensington or other appropriate area article. I agree that the road itself is not independently notable, but there is salvageable content which could plausibly be used in an "Architecture" or "Listed Buildings" section of a broader article.

- Keep — a historic road with very strong literary connections, some already mentioned, but others are not such as
Radclyffe Hall and
Joseph Conrad. There are scholarly references currently not included, e.g., see

- Those two articles don't mention Addison Road, and the Springer link goes to a chapter of a book which contains a passing mention of it, which I don't think counts as either scholarly or supportive of notability. Barnards.tar.gz ( talk) 09:24, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- The link provided fails
WP:SIGCOV as it is a trivial mention. --

- Note: Addison Road has its own entry in The Encyclopaedia of London (Macmillan, 1983), indicative of notability. — Jonathan Bowen ( talk) 20:49, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- Just checked my copy of the Encyclopedia of London and it has a an entry that goes far beyond simply stating the road's existence. Philafrenzy ( talk) 22:26, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Merge to Kensington per Barnards.tar.gz - No evidence of notability to warrant an article but some of the content could certainly be used in the Kensington article. – Davey2010 Talk 14:16, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- Merge per the above, much of what is here is encyclopaedic and appropriate for a Wikipedia article but the street itself isn't notable. Either Kensington or something like a List of streets in Kensington and Chelsea would be a better home for it. Thryduulf ( talk) 15:44, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. Well-cited article. Notable road, and easily passes WP:GNG. Edwardx ( talk) 13:36, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Self-evidently notable I would have thought and easily passes GNG with the literary and architectural connections. I find a good entry in the Encyclopedia of London, plenty in Pevsner (London NW), and entries in the next two London books I consulted. Philafrenzy ( talk) 22:26, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: there are multiple sources which indicate that the article passes WP:GNG. InterstellarGamer12321 ( talk | contribs) 16:37, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Opinion is divided between those supporting Merge and those advocating Keep. No support for article deletion.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 06:22, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: I believe the Survey of London and Pevsner London 3: North West individually provide SIGCOV, which is supplemented by The London Encyclopaedia (5 sentences). There are eight groups of listed buildings, including Debenham House, which contribute to the notability of the Street. TSventon ( talk) 12:32, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Satisfies GNG. James500 ( talk) 12:49, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
