== Articles which are Candidates for Deletion: Riverside Drive ==
Hi!   When writing an article about a New York landmark I linked "Riverside Drive", which is a New York street of some note.  However, the new link pointed to "Riverside Drive" a road in Canada.  So, not a problem, I write a stub called "Riverside Drive (New York)" and pipe my old link to it.  Trouble is, I now want to place a link to my new stubby "Riverside Drive (New York) in the old "Riverside Drive", in case anyone's looking for it.  Now I notice that "Riverside Drive" is a candidate for deletion.  I follow the links to 'discuss it', but don't see the article on the list I get taken to.  
How do I know what's up--do I bother to make the new link, is the article going to be deleted, what about my new stub, is that going to be deleted too, etc. etc.  [[User:Quill|Quill]] 22:31, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

:Try asking [[User:Niteowlneils|Niteowlneils]] about why it doesn't appear on VfD, as he was the one who put the VfD tag on the article in the first place [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Riverside_Drive&diff=3974346&oldid=3974337].   I'd leave [[Riverside Drive]] alone until you get a response from him.

:As a rule, we don't much like articles on streets. They tend to be just "This street runs from the north end of town and stops at the freeway". However, [[Riverside Drive (New York)]] seems to be of enough interest to keep. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]]|[[User talk:Cyrius|&#9998;]] 00:08, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
