Points

[edit]

The addition of brackets around Hull is creating confusion with Princes Road, Liverpool. The better title would be PA, Hull and the latter should be PR, Liverpool.

NB Victorian is a recognised architectural term, so should be left.

Notability

[edit]

Someone tagged this with a drive-by notability tag, which I removed. In my opinion, existing articles about streets of this size are OK. This is a matter of opinion I guess.

On the other hand, Hull has about 250,000 people (city limits) so per WP:STREET it should have about five street articles. Princes Avenue is not one of the five most notable Hull streets, I would say. Nor is there any special quality that would make it especially notable. Nor is anything likely to turn up.

I would say, there is no point in having a notability tag uglying up the the article forever, as some new cause of notability is unlikely to be found. It is what it is: a street in Hull. Either delete it or remove the tag. Herostratus (talk) 16:32, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hundyke, cemeteries

[edit]

Need a source for "Hundyke"

The info about cholera epidemics and the cemetery probably ( see [1] should be in a separate article about Hull cemeteries, not as an aside here - a web search shows that such a topic would be notable for a variety of reasons - so I have left a red link. (There is a listing in Pevsner, notable monuments, general near contemporary and historical coverage, as details company history all covered in reliable sources.) http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=66784&strquery=cemeteries#s11 gives a starting point with basic dates.

Name the avenues in the lead?

[edit]

The lead mentions four avenues off Princes Avenue, but doesn’t name them. It would be useful to have them named at the start - or a section/ table listing all the avenues and the dukeries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.182.92 (talk) 14:57, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
