You don't even need question 2. Original research isn't verifiable by reference to reputable sources, so if you answer Yes to question 2 you must necessarily answer No to question 1.

If you answered "Yes", "No", "Yes", "Yes" and "Yes", Congratulations! Please speedy keep the article and block those who persistantly disrupt the project by their lack of common sense.
If you're still talking about [[List of state-named Avenues in Washington, D.C.]], it's not of an encyclopedic nature. It's not even an article, it's a list. Lists have to be treated differently, that's why there used to be "Lists for Deletion", but Wikipedia wasn't big enough to handle such a minor issue on a separate page, so it was merged into VFD. In hindsight, the merge was a mistake.
