Talk:Butt Hole Road

Notability of Butt Hole Road

Granted the street has got at least two mentions in sources that would be considered reliable sources, but in passing in one. I can't see that it passes WP:N in terms of "Significant coverage". FlowerpotmaN·(t) 19:06, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I admit to being very puzzled by your comment. Geographical locations are really subject to quite different standards than some random person or some self-published book. Indeed, there are plenty of articles on Wikipedia about "towns" with less than a dozen people living there (see for example, Milltown,_South_Dakota). Here we are talking about a road that has gotten notoriety in the BBC and NY Times, was the inspiration for a book (which also selected it for an entry out of the laughingly large number of rude place names in Britain), and is a tourist attraction of sorts.

Anyway, I removed the tag. The article is well-referenced, so I don't see what further work is required, other than to put in some geographical details and so forth. --C S (talk) 19:35, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

is there an unsound end?

What is the "sound end" of a street? —Tamfang (talk) 21:06, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Uh, it's where the street begins from its southern point. All road articles use it. See {{Infobox road}}. –Dream out loud (talk) 04:24, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Pull the other one. —Tamfang (talk) 16:23, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't understand. Are you trying to make a bad joke or something? –Dream out loud (talk) 17:38, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

That's my line. I saw the template, as you suggested; it does not contain 'sound'. So who's the joker? —Tamfang (talk) 21:50, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Why did they pay for the sign?

"Because the Doncaster Council would only replace a street sign for free if it was damaged or in a state of disrepair, the residents of Butt Hole Road had to raise £300 for a new street sign."

So why didn't the sign just have an "accident"? After all, people kept trying to nick it anyway. (Ref 13 that migtht explain it is gone.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.74.105.50 (talk) 22:09, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

the eponym is not transparent

... the street was renamed to "Archers Way", named after the 930-year-old Conisbrough Castle ...

Huh? —Tamfang (talk) 03:43, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Probably the castle was protected by archers during times of siege. However, whatever the connection is, I agree that it does need to be clarified in the article. 108.246.205.134 (talk) 07:33, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
