AARoads:Deletion requests

Deletion requests
A subpage for the AARoads project

Please add {{RFD}} to the top of a page that has been nominated here. If it is a template, be sure to add noinclude tags.

Discussions will generally last 14 days. Discussions with very clear consensus may be closed after 7 days. However, a SNOW close should not be done unilaterally and should be rare.

Should no option earn an absolute majority after 14 days, the discussion will be relisted in the form of an approval poll of all options that received at least one vote in the discussion. The option with a plurality of votes in the approval poll after 14 days will prevail. Should no option earn a plurality of votes in the approval poll, the discussion will be closed as "no consensus", which defaults to the page being kept.

Admins: when closing a request, be sure to remove {{RFD}} in the event the page is kept. It is permissible to close a discussion you have voted in, though caution should be exercised in contentious cases.

The following cases do not warrant a deletion request and can be speedy deleted by an administrator without discussion:

• Spam
• Vandalism
• Clear copyright violations
• Blatant hoaxes
• Attack pages
• Test pages
• Reposting of previously deleted material
• Pages that are obviously not related to roads
• Any pages in your own userspace

Administrators may also perform routine maintenance deletions (for example: unused template subpages, orphaned talk pages, and duplicate articles) without discussion.

List of state highways in Chautauqua County, New York

In the past we have preferred categories rather than lists like these, since they are more work and lead to content forking. --Rschen7754 13:13, 4 May 2024 (EDT)

• Delete - Categories better handle the need. Dough4872 13:57, 4 May 2024 (EDT)
• It would appear that this list is the primary coverage of the reference routes discussed in it, so that content will need to be rehomed. I suggest restructuring the article into a List of reference routes in Chautauqua County, New York listicle and discarding the rest, though if anyone more familiar with NY has a structure that would work better for the particulars of the route, I'm all ears. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 16:36, 4 May 2024 (EDT)
  • There is also List of reference routes in New York. I personally didn't find the text descriptions here much more enlightening. (There are also articles that need to be restructured like List of highways in Hamilton County, New York, but that can be handled elsewhere). --Rschen7754 16:44, 4 May 2024 (EDT)
    • Perhaps not now, but I see no harm in providing the structure to encourage people to expand that content in the future. I view it much like the Texas FM lists (most of which don't contain much more than what you'd find in a table, but from time to time someone takes a special interest in one and fleshes out its section). Retargeting the redirects to the statewide list would be my second choice solution. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 16:56, 4 May 2024 (EDT)

Roman roads in the Nord department

I believe we decided Roman roads were out of scope; this one comprises (at least) two departmental routes in France. There doesn't seem to be anything useful for the two DRs mentioned, so we should just start fresh. –Fredddie™ 00:46, 5 July 2024 (EDT)

• Keep and repurpose, just because this is all that we have for those two routes. --Rschen7754 01:52, 5 July 2024 (EDT)
• Split the departmental routes into separate articles. However, we would need to keep this page for attribution for those routes, probably have to redirect to one of them. Dough4872 09:44, 5 July 2024 (EDT)

This discussion has been closed and is preserved as an archive of the decision of the community. Please do not modify it!

The article was deleted. Dough4872 19:42, 12 October 2024 (EDT)

Imported before I realized this is a pre-car road. --Rschen7754 14:56, 19 September 2024 (EDT)

• Delete - These types of roads are not in our scope. Dough4872 21:35, 19 September 2024 (EDT)

U.S. Route 211 Alternate (Warrenton, Virginia)

This discussion has been closed and is preserved as an archive of the decision of the community. Please do not modify it!

Redirect Kept. Dough4872 19:46, 12 October 2024 (EDT)

This redirect links to the U.S. Route 211 page, but there's no information about any alternate routes for the mainline. It actually links to the business route in Warrenton, but little, if any, history information about that highway is there. NewGirl4U (Morriswa on Wikipedia) 07:46, 22 September 2024 (EDT)

• Keep - According to AASHTO minutes, US 211 Business was formerly US 211 Alternate, so this is a valid redirect. Dough4872 08:34, 22 September 2024 (EDT)

Could you please add the relevant information to the page's section? NewGirl4U (Morriswa on Wikipedia) 15:02, 22 September 2024 (EDT)

Added. Dough4872 18:28, 22 September 2024 (EDT)

U.S. Route 276 in Tennessee

This discussion has been closed and is preserved as an archive of the decision of the community. Please do not modify it!

The redirect was deleted. Dough4872 21:56, 29 October 2024 (EDT)

There's no information on the US 276 page about any Tennessee portion of the highway. NewGirl4U (Morriswa on Wikipedia) 14:25, 28 September 2024 (EDT)

• Delete - This redirect was imported from Wikipedia, which I created there years ago. I don’t know why I created it, doesn’t appear US 276 ever entered or was planned to enter Tennessee. Dough4872 11:10, 13 October 2024 (EDT)

Not sure what this is supposed to be. --Rschen7754 14:38, 1 October 2024 (EDT)

• Delete - Looks like some April Fools joke. Don’t need this. Dough4872 22:07, 1 October 2024 (EDT)

US 77 Bus. (San Benito-Combes)

No real content, just a broken exist list. --Rschen7754 00:48, 23 October 2024 (EDT)

• Delete - No use for this. Dough4872 08:57, 23 October 2024 (EDT)
