Draft:Holland Street

Submission declined on 14 January 2024 by 94rain (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at List of streets and roads in Hong Kong. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Holland Street (荷蘭街) is in Kennedy Town and first appeared on a map along the coast in 1889. It is 0.08 km long^[1]. This street is one of the three Hong Kong streets with a Dutch reference, the others being Java Road and Dutch Lane.^[2]

It is unclear whether the street was named after the area where Dutch ships used to unload or after Holland Street in London’s Kensington district. ^[3]
