Streets

With regard to Prušnik Street and Klagenfurt Street in Šentvid, being main streets with a rich history does not necessarily make them notable in Wikipedia terms. Generally streets are not notable, WP:Notability (geographic features)#Roadways, for example even in Berlin there are less than forty streets that arguably meet the general notability guidelines by having significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I did not find significant, or much of any, coverage of "Prušnik Street", "Prušnikova ulica", "Prušnikova Straße" or "Prušnik Straße". (The Slovenian Wikipedia article Prušnikova ulica, Ljubljana does not cite any sources.) Any rich history for Prušnik Street, i.e. before its creation in 1977, really belongs to Klagenfurt Street. There is not significant coverage for an independent article. At present there is only one street in Ljubljana that has an article in the English Wikipedia, Čop Street, and it lacks citation to multiple independent reliable sources. Streets are normally best covered by a sentence or two in the article on the town, city, or in this case the borough for Prušnik Street. In the case of Prušnik Street I have seen no coverage that warrants a redlink, that is that indicates that a page will be created soon or that an article should be created for the topic because the subject is notable. (WP:Red link) I had slightly better luck with Klagenfurt Street (Celovška cesta) (although most references were to the trunk road between Klagenfurt and Ljubljana). The Slovenian article, Celovška cesta is about both the trunk road and the street, as they bear the same name. Citations there are from multiple independent reliable sources, although the citations there include incidental mentions of the street. The street is not mentioned in the Ljubljana article of the English Wikipedia (although the trunk road is briefly mentioned as the "A2-E61" and linked to European route E61), but neither are the other three major arterials of Ljubljana. With a little work on the Roads section of that article a link there could be placed from Klagenfurt Street. --Bejnar (talk) 23:37, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

The article on Klagenfurt Street (Celovška cesta) in the Slovene Wikipedia is relatively long and contains multiple sources, and even better ones have been indexed in the COBIB.SI system.[1] Given this and the fact that it is a major artery of the city, it is in my view notable enough to warrant a red link. In regard to Prušnik Street, you're probably correct that its history before 1977 can be covered elsewhere (in 'Klagenfurt Street' and 'Šentvid (Ljubljana)'. --Eleassar ^{my talk} 10:01, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
