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'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.
