The result of the debate was keep. --Terence Ong 12:30, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The article fails to distinguish itself from any other street or road located in Melbourne, thus failing to establish notability. Bumm13 11:23, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete sounds like millions of other small lanes. Gu 11:42, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Article makes no claims to notability for said lane, so no reason to differentiate it from thousands of similar lanes, alleys, streets, walks, etc in Melbourne and any other city. (aeropagitica) 12:20, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete If it were a person, it would be speediable. Dlyons493 Talk 13:50, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I haven't decided which way to vote yet, but I want to comment that it is a well-known restaurant / cafe precinct in the Central Business District of Melbourne. Cnwb 22:45, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. If it is a notable street in Melbourne, this article doesn't show it. Mind you, there were 72 hits on an Australia New Zealand database so it has some prominence.
- Keep an important part of the City's café culture and now has a bit of its history tacked on. Keep and allow to expand. -- Ian ≡ talk 00:50, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Allow to expand. --Bduke 02:20, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per nom. Fishhead64 06:51, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Please Allow This to expand! Hardware lane is the most cultural and vibrant laneway in Melbourne! It's a world away from the world! — Preceding unsigned comment added by user:202.7.176.130 (talk • contribs)
- Keep. There is an incoming link, and the WikiProject Melbourne people seem to be aiming to cover all their significant streets. WP:NOT paper. --Scott Davis Talk 09:22, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. ScottDavis is dead right. Ambi 01:39, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep this street is notable enough, and the article is of an acceptable length. If this were deleted, I'd await the nomination of all those insignifant London streets and alleys lucky enough to have gained Wikipedia articles.--cj | talk 05:06, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Notable, will expand. Needs to focus more on history than Maccas. Harro5 06:03, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, agree with Harro5 (except for the bit about "will expand" — I'll let him do that bit without me). fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 15:39, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as part of WikiProject Melbourne. -Canley 04:21, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep at least for a while. Now that it's had this much attention focused on it, an expansion will no doubt be forthcoming. Lokicarbis 05:31, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I would expect that in the CBD of a city of 3.8million people that there will be a number of smaller streets, lanes and arcades which are worthy of an article on wikipedia. Hardware Lane is but one of many which I hope will eventually be part of the WikiProject Melbourne - given time. Please have patience. Cuddy Wifter 06:23, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Agnte 12:34, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Scott and cj. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 13:13, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep -- the lane is notable enough for myself, who doesn't live in Melbourne but an hour away, to be able to recognise it by name only. See the article history. - Longhair 22:49, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
