List of ring roads

Deleted with unanimous consent. --Rschen7754 17:23, 24 November 2023 (EST)

List of ring roads Similar to the list of toll roads article above, this article is long due to the number of ring roads listed. There is no need for a list article like this, the category for ring roads is sufficient. Ran4sh (talk) 22:21, 10 November 2023 (EST)

  • I don't agree with the list of toll roads rationale, however I have to say Delete because there is no objective criteria of what a ring road is, especially in the US. There are instances where three freeways are strung together to be a ring road. That's the sort of original research that is not good for this wiki. --Rschen7754 22:26, 10 November 2023 (EST)
  • Delete - This list is poor quality and consists of questionable entries which combine multiple roads to form a “ring road”. I feel a category may be better to group together single roads that are a beltway/ring road, such as Capital Beltway. Dough4872 22:42, 10 November 2023 (EST)
  • Delete per Rschen7754. There's too much original research for this list to be viable. TheCatalyst31 ReactionCreation 16:58, 12 November 2023 (EST)
  • Delete per above. –Fredddie 12:38, 18 November 2023 (EST)

The result of the discussion was delete. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 00:54, 27 November 2023 (EST)

Most of the streets in this navbox aren't within the project's scope, and I think we got rid of all of the "roads in <city>" type of navboxes a while ago, so even if we took out the redlinks I don't think this would be worth keeping. TheCatalyst31 ReactionCreation 00:47, 13 November 2023 (EST)

TheCatalyst31's proposal passes and will be implemented. --Rschen7754 17:43, 25 November 2023 (EST)

These articles all have significant overlap. Obviously something should be kept out of this discussion, but not 5 articles all doing similar things. --Rschen7754 17:07, 11 November 2023 (EST)

  • Highway shield and route number could be merged. Keeping them separate on WP makes some sense because a lot of countries don't use shield designs to indicate route numbers, but AA is mostly US-centric even if we were to have international coverage. Ran4sh (talk) 23:02, 11 November 2023 (EST)

Canadian navboxes

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


The templates in TCN7JM's comment will be deleted. Care should be taken to save one copy of each navbox somewhere (as appropriate) and orphan the templates before deleting. --Rschen7754 21:48, 26 November 2023 (EST)

There was some discussion on Discord about deleting Canadian navboxes that link to every route, but I wanted to formalize it here. Essentially, categories do a better job of linking groups of routes together than navboxes do and they don't clog up each page's Special:WhatLinksHere. Most of the offending navboxes are listed here: Category:Canada transport templates. {{Ontario Provincial Highways}} is an example. –Fredddie 00:23, 11 October 2023 (EDT)

  • Delete - Categories better handle the need. Dough4872 05:35, 11 October 2023 (EDT)
  • Delete Categories are more useful than navboxes in this case. It doesn't help that some of these (e.g. {{Prince Edward Island provincial highways}}) include a bunch of highways that don't have separate articles, and all redirected to the same list on enwiki. TheCatalyst31 ReactionCreation 12:47, 11 October 2023 (EDT)
  • Delete per above. As a point of order: do we need to tag these templates? Or post on The Interchange? --Rschen7754 16:11, 11 October 2023 (EDT)
    • I don't believe we imported any of the AfD templates. This is, so far, the first real deletion discussion we've had. –Fredddie 17:50, 11 October 2023 (EDT)
    • Noting that I vote to Keep {{Trans-Canada}} and {{Ontario Numbered Roads}} since both are a different style of navbox. --Rschen7754 23:43, 10 November 2023 (EST)
  • Delete... as long as whatever United States navboxes there are (such as {{County roads in Florida}}) go too. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 16:25, 11 October 2023 (EDT)
  • If you'd like to start a delreq for those navboxes, please start a separate section as they are not germane to this discussion. Please also make sure to include as many examples as you know of; they're sometimes miscategorized and hard to find. TC (Eli) 16:56, 11 October 2023 (EDT)

Comment – To be crystal clear in what we're actually discussing, I've compiled a list of templates I think are relevant to the discussion.

A few templates in Category:Canada transport templates and subcategory Category:Ontario transport templates do not fit the description but possibly deserve scrutiny for other reasons.

  • {{Roads in Canada}} and {{Roads in Ontario}} just include a bolded link to the articles of the same names. Nothing else. Not entirely sure about the point of either template.
  • {{Ontario Numbered Roads}} serves a purpose more similar to the {{County roads in Florida}} template Liliana mentioned above. It's not the same as a raw list of routes and probably warrants a separate discussion.

Please correct me if I've misjudged or missed something. TC (Eli) 16:56, 11 October 2023 (EDT)

You missed the PEI navbox I called out in my comment. TheCatalyst31 ReactionCreation 17:47, 11 October 2023 (EDT)
Added. TC (Eli) 18:23, 11 October 2023 (EDT)
It looks like you got the gist of the proposal. I do think one instance of the templates should be substituted somewhere so we can have a sort of completion list. To Liliana's point, I wouldn't be against adding {{Interstates}} and {{U.S. Routes}} into the discussion. I think we got rid of the rest of the USRD navboxes before 2010. –Fredddie 17:50, 11 October 2023 (EDT)

I've moved the page in question to AARoads:Maps/Obsolete Tutorial (as well as one subpage, which now resides at AARoads:Maps/Obsolete Tutorial/SVG maps, and both corresponding talk pages).

Geography of toll roads

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


This has been tied at 3-3 delete/rename for a month so I'll be the deciding vote here. I've renamed the article Toll roads by country. Yes, the article is bloated and questionably written, but I see value in having the information exist here under the assumption that it will be cleaned up eventually (likely if and when our scope expands to include more countries). As for List of toll roads, its fate warrants a separate discussion. TC (Eli) 05:30, 16 December 2023 (EST)

I'm on the fence if this should be outright deleted or rename (the current name is misleading at best) and its scope trimmed. Looking for 2nd opinions. Dave (talk) 13:57, 2 November 2023 (EDT)

  • Delete. Would be better structured as part of a page summarizing the highway system of each region, or perhaps split off to something like Turnpikes of Oklahoma. —Scott5114 [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 17:34, 2 November 2023 (EDT)
  • Rename to Toll roads by country. I think this could be a useful main article explaining how toll roads operate in different countries, with subarticles for individual countries that could provide more details such as Toll roads in the United States. Dough4872 18:39, 2 November 2023 (EDT)
  • Split. I loathe coatrack articles like this. I would hate it less if it was split into continental articles. –Fredddie 20:32, 2 November 2023 (EDT)
    • On second thought, we should  Blow it up and start over. –Fredddie 01:16, 11 December 2023 (EST)
  • Rename per Dough, however once we officially expand to international coverage I could see the page being split. --Rschen7754 14:04, 3 November 2023 (EDT)
  • Delete both Geography of toll roads and List of toll roads. Ran4sh (talk) 16:15, 10 November 2023 (EST)
  • Rename and do a whole lot of cleanup. An article about how toll roads work around the world isn't a bad thing to have, and this article is a decent start, but it needs a lot of work to get there. (In particular, the sections that are just lists of toll roads need to be completely rewritten.) TheCatalyst31 ReactionCreation 16:55, 12 November 2023 (EST)

This nomination includes all templates in this category. Per the previous deletion requests (categories being more useful than navboxes in these cases) - also, many entries are city streets with questionable notability. --Rschen7754 12:33, 2 December 2023 (EST)

  • Delete - Do not need these. Dough4872 19:15, 2 December 2023 (EST)

Just like the {{Gatineau Roads}} template that is currently nominated, this is merely a collection of red links, and I chose not to bluelink it during my Québec run as I felt it was out of scope. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 17:03, 9 December 2023 (EST)

  • Delete. Those routes that have a numbered route in parentheses, I wouldn't mind if they redirected to said route. Then those redirects and A-5 and A-50 should be tagged in the Gatineau category if they are not already. –Fredddie 22:32, 9 December 2023 (EST)

The result of the discussion was keep. Dough4872 21:51, 28 December 2023 (EST)

I'd like to gauge the idea of deleting the redirects that we created when we moved Michigan and Kansas articles. Several of these are listed on Special:DoubleRedirects. Since there are several hundred redirects, I'm not going to tag them. This would only apply to page names with these formats:

  • M-x (Michigan highway)
  • K-x (Kansas highway)
  • X-x (Michigan county highway)
Votes
  1. I am leaning delete, though I can see the utility of keeping them. –Fredddie 21:40, 14 December 2023 (EST)
  2. Keep - Redirects are cheap. Dough4872 23:02, 15 December 2023 (EST)
  3. I see no reason not to keep them. Redirects are cheap, as was already said. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 00:03, 16 December 2023 (EST)
  4. Keep. No reason to delete these while allowing the other straggling redirects that break our naming conventions. TC (Eli) 12:39, 16 December 2023 (EST)
  5. Keep. Redirects are cheap, and these titles have a lot of inbound links that we'd have to put in the effort to clean up. Not to mention it might confuse new readers who are used to the Wikipedia format. (Speaking of putting in effort, it might be nice to get an equivalent of DoubleRedirectBot up and running.)

Mexican Federal Highway 18

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 21:02, 28 February 2024 (EST)

I don't think this highway exists. The only source is to a general Mexican highway map that doesn't seem to include a Highway 18 (I couldn't find it, at least, and there's no section number in the citation). The article itself doesn't have any information about which cities or states the highway serves. I couldn't find any other evidence that this exists; Google Maps does appear to mark a road in Baja California Sur as Federal Highway 18, but it's unpaved and isn't signed in Street View, so I don't think that's actually a federal highway. TheCatalyst31 ReactionCreation 21:00, 14 February 2024 (EST)

  • Move to appropriate state highway location, the map at [1] hints that the federal highway 18 in Google Maps/Guia Roji is actually state. --Rschen7754 21:35, 14 February 2024 (EST)
    • I will note that while we know it is in Baja California Sur, we don't know that it is necessarily BCS-18. [2] has that road as "Ramal al Arco". Without a SH log for BCS it is hard to tell any further. --Rschen7754 14:02, 15 February 2024 (EST)
      • Delete ultimately. We can't prove that the author had the BCS road in mind when creating this article and there isn't anything worth saving. --Rschen7754 21:24, 19 February 2024 (EST)
  • Delete - No evidence this route exists and article provides no context. Dough4872 23:36, 18 February 2024 (EST)

The article was deleted. Dough4872 20:45, 3 March 2024 (EST)

Another one that I don't think is a real highway. No information on where it is, it doesn't seem to be on the map cited, it's not listed in our sources for Mexico, and I can't find any other sources to verify it exists. Possibly a mix-up with Federal Highway 36 based on the article history, which already has its own article. TheCatalyst31 ReactionCreation 20:19, 18 February 2024 (EST)

  • Delete. Did you mean Mexican Federal Highway 36? LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 20:25, 18 February 2024 (EST)

I'll rework the template to remove the routes per Dough4872 and Fredddie's suggestions below. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 14:53, 29 May 2024 (EDT)

Same reasoning as the Canadian navboxes, something that could be better done with categories, and wouldn't clog Special:WhatLinksHere. It was also discussed on Discord. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 06:33, 6 May 2024 (EDT)

I suggested nominating this one, so I'll chime in. Liliana hit the main points I agree with. That being said, I think there is some value in keeping the non-route articles in the navbox, though I'm not sure what. I definitely think the routes should be removed. –Fredddie 09:50, 6 May 2024 (EDT)

Category:Articles with links needing disambiguation

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

The result of the discussion was deleted. –Fredddie 19:10, 1 July 2024 (EDT)

The cateogry is redundant with it's child category, Category:All articles with links needing disambiguation, which has a more common name and has some templates the parent category (Articles, without All), does not. However, some categories in Articles will need to be moved over. OrdinaryGiraffe (talk) 19:44, 11 June 2024 (EDT)

  • Question: Should I transfer over the missing categories and main article template, or wait until the discussion closes? Also, adding Category:Articles lacking in-text citations to the nomination, for the same reason. OrdinaryGiraffe (talk) 19:57, 11 June 2024 (EDT)
  • Edit: I think the pages should be redirected instead of deleted, to deal with potential external or Talk namespace links. OrdinaryGiraffe (talk) 20:38, 11 June 2024 (EDT)

U.S. Route 41W in Georgia

The redirect U.S. Route 41W in Georgia redirects to U.S. Route 41 in Georgia#History. However, there is no information on that page concerning this theoretical highway. I remember seeing somewhere that a US 41W either existed or what simply proposed for the state; however, there's no information there. If anything gets added to the page, then, a U.S. Route 41W (Georgia) would need to be started and have categories added to it. NewGirl4U (Morriswa on Wikipedia) 02:30, 22 July 2024 (EDT)

 Done basically a broken redirect. –Fredddie 22:56, 23 July 2024 (EDT)

@Freddie: Could you close this discussion and the one below it (the misspelled article)? Also, for future reference, am I or other users without the admin user right allowed to close these discussions once the article is deleted?OrdinaryGiraffe (talk) 23:01, 11 August 2024 (EDT)

@Fredddie: Let me try the ping again.OrdinaryGiraffe (talk) 23:03, 11 August 2024 (EDT)

Virginia State Rout 670 (Brunswick County)

No pages link to it, and I am pretty sure myself or someone else only created this as a result of a typo. (Markkos1992) (talk) 13:34, 1 August 2024 (EDT)

 Done - Unlikely search term. Dough4872 13:50, 2 August 2024 (EDT)

U.S. Route 421 Business (Gate City, Virgina)

Should not need a discussion, duplicate page due to Virginia being spelled wrong. No pages link here at this point. Markkos1992 (talk) 20:51, 31 August 2024 (EDT)

Moved to annex. --Rschen7754 22:13, 1 October 2024 (EDT)

I'm not entirely sure what this list is supposed to be so I don't know what it's utility is. Is this worth keeping? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fredddie (talkcontribs) 02:39, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

  • If we keep it at all, it should go to the annex. --Rschen7754 23:37, 6 August 2024 (EDT)
  • Move to annex - This looks like information that could be better suited for the annex namespace. Dough4872 23:43, 6 August 2024 (EDT)
  • Support a move to the annex, but not a deletion, as this might someday be useful if it get's significantly improved/reorganized. OrdinaryGiraffe (talk) 22:55, 11 August 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)

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)
