WP:USST

Welcome to WikiProject U.S. Streets. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of U.S. Streets and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

Scope

The scope of this project is two-fold:

To cover city streets in articles that focus on the local roadway(s) of an urbanized area
To coordinate with city-level or state-level wikiprojects as well as WP:USRD on these articles

Goals

The main goal of this project is to work on city and local streets and get them to Featured articles on Wikipedia. By removing these articles from the scope of WikiProject U.S. Roads, that not only clarifies what both projects are intended for, but creates a forum for users from city projects (such as WikiProject Philadelphia, WikiProject NYC) and the other roads projects.

Relationships

WikiProject U.S. Streets is one of the United States WikiProjects.

Guidelines

Notability guidelines

Streets are generally not notable. To be considered notable, the street should pass one of the following criteria:

The street has become synonymous with an industry or organization (Wall Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, Madison Avenue, Fifth Avenue),
The street was the site of an important historical event (Clark Street),
The street has been mentioned by name in a major motion picture, song, television show, or other mainstream media (Wacker Drive, Santa Monica Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard)
The street has been the subject of a documentary or an article in a major media source.
It is otherwise notable, as described at Wikipedia:Notability.

The chart at the right displays a breakdown of the articles tagged and assessed as a part of the project. The chart shows the numbers of each class of article in terms of their quality or importance assessments. These determinations are based on the assessment criteria. Various past precedents have been set for dealing with articles related to city streets in the US as well.

This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk · contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged (e.g. {{WikiProject U.S. Streets}}) or categorized correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.
