Florida State Road 300

I'm unsure if this should be deleted or expanded. What is the Wiki policy on roads? Is this particular road notable in any way? (I'm new to Wiki, please excuse me.) Fang Aili 01:15, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for merge to St. George Island. I believe the prevailing opinion is to keep national roads per se, and others according to significance. This isn't significant but we might as well merge it. Gazpacho 01:33, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all Interstate, U.S. and state numbered highways. FCYTravis 02:06, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
You noticed, I hope, that it is four miles long. Gazpacho
Certainly. But if every single one of the hundreds of thousands of schools in America is notable, I fail to see how any of the far-smaller number of state, U.S. and Interstate highways can be deemed non-notable. Deleting articles on state-designated and maintained highways which link communities together while keeping articles on elementary schools that are notable for "teaching things" makes no sense.

- Just because there's a bunch of people who want all American roads and schools included doesn't mean they should be. Wikipedia is not a list of indiscriminate information. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:19, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Wiki policy, as you can perhaps gather, is very contentious on the issue of articles about roads that just describe their geography. It seems to come in phases -- sometimes inclusion, sometimes deletion wins. Sdedeo 03:05, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Which is why we should keep them all, or we'll have a patchwork of some articles that have been kept and others about equally "notable" roads that have been deleted. --SPUI (talk) 08:25, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unexpandable; there's nothing encyclopedic to say on the topic. Fernando Rizo T/C 04:01, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Road systems (networks) are encyclopedic. Individual roads are not. -maclean25 06:03, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all roadcruft. Especially this one, as it's a long bridge, and such bridges are certainly "notable". --SPUI (talk) 08:02, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not notable. --GraemeL ^(talk) 10:01, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I suggest you all visit Category:California state highways and examine the work done there. Do people wish to VFD all those informative articles because "individual roads are unencyclopedic?" FCYTravis 11:48, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
