MUTCD RS-086.svg 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)

A282 (Great Britain)

This was marked for speedy deletion so that Dartford Crossing could be moved to this page. I think User:Si404 had requested it. Markkos1992 (talk) 18:13, 8 December 2024 (EST)

Virginia State Route 706 (1924-1928)

Incorrect dab page. I have corrected it to Virginia State Route 706 (1928-1933). On a related note, there are probably quite a few accidental dabs I have created that could be deleted in regard to List of primary state highways in Virginia that someone may want to check on at some point.

Minister for Roads and Road Safety

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 23:16, 11 February 2025 (EST)

While there has been no formal discussion, de facto we have excluded articles and tables like this for other countries. --Rschen7754 20:24, 28 January 2025 (EST)

  • Delete - I would say a list of officeholders is outside the scope of our wiki. Dough4872 21:59, 28 January 2025 (EST)
  • Speedy delete. Considering I've actively removed for ministers from other lists, this should go. –Fredddie 18:33, 29 January 2025 (EST)

Rockhampton–Emu Park Road

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 kept. Dough4872 17:45, 15 March 2025 (EDT)

This one seems out of scope. Yes, it mentions the C319, but it's only in passing. –Fredddie 11:37, 23 February 2025 (EST)

  • Something seems to have gone wrong with that import. [1] is a state road, so I think it should be kept. --Rschen7754 15:56, 23 February 2025 (EST)
  • Keep - part of a state highway. Dough4872 16:43, 23 February 2025 (EST)

Rodeo Drive

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 16:31, 23 March 2025 (EDT)

My notes say this was imported under "Parkway", but I'm not sure what I was thinking. The article has little to do with the road itself. --Rschen7754 13:51, 15 March 2025 (EDT)

  • Delete - Does not appear to meet our criteria for street articles. Dough4872 17:47, 15 March 2025 (EDT)
  • Delete Definitely a street that's not notable for road transportation reasons. TheCatalyst31 ReactionCreation 15:11, 22 March 2025 (EDT)
  • Delete While I'm surprised it's 2 miles long, its one of those I saw and went 'huh?'. I mean it's famous enough that my 17 year old foreign self got a photo by the road sign when there, but it's famous for non-odological reasons. Si404 (talk) 16:33, 22 March 2025 (EDT)

AARoads:Australia/Standards/Structure

Not needed as we have AA:MURA. Dough4872 17:50, 22 March 2025 (EDT)
