This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result of the debate was keep (no consensus). Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:01, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
B876 road
Minor roads are not a suitable topic for an encyclopaedia even one which is not paper. Tim Pope 11:19, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, roads are useful for navigation. Kappa 13:38, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. This isn't an article, it's just a map in words. It makes painfully laborious reading and nobody would look up this information: this is what a map is for!
Looking at Category:Roads in the United Kingdom, there do seem to be a great number of road articles. But this is a B Road. There are thousands of these things in the UK and very few of them of any interest except to the handful who live nearby. And I can't entertain the idea that it's likely to be expanded; it's twelve miles long and it's in a very sparsely populated corner of Scotland.Flowerparty 14:36, 7 August 2005 (UTC) - Delete - Misplaced Pages is not an atlas. The B designation of the road means it's a minor single carriage road. Not notable. Unless it is a busy major road, or has historical significance, it should not be in wikipedia. - Hahnchen 14:39, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I don't know how many B-roads you've been on, but there are a few in the Cardiff, Wales area that are the equivalent of freeways. 23skidoo 21:15, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Verifiable and neutral. We're surely not going to go into the "notability" silliness for roads--they're literally on the map! --Tony Sidaway 14:57, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Verifiably and neutrally unimportant. --Calton | Talk 16:05, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Misplaced Pages is not an atlas -- Francs2000 | Talk
17:04, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep roads designated at the national level. --SPUI (talk) 17:19, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Completely harmless. Trying to exclude categories of articles about verifiable real things is not a productive use of time on Wikiopedia. Osomec 18:19, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Content that dilutes the intent of Misplaced Pages is not harmless. If multiple notable events have occurred on this road, then I'll change my mind, but as of right now its a poor substitute for Google Maps. WP:NOT an atlas. Fernando Rizo T/C 19:48, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I agree with SPUI and Osomec. If you're a road geek, you know what it's like to have articles on roads. They're fascinating if expanded. — Stevey7788 (talk) 20:24, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep it's verifiable, it's neutral, there's no dilution, and Misplaced Pages is not paper. Eclipsed 22:26, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, right on brother Eclipsed jamesgibbon 22:50, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete It's a B road! Just because it's verifiable doesn't make it notable or inclusion-worthy. The weather in London today is verifiable. And neutral. And probably affected millions of people. But not encyclopedic. Sabine's Sunbird 00:11, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, nonnotable. Nandesuka 02:09, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, no case for notability made. Sdedeo 02:22, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - I voted delete on a similar article recently, saying that unless therewas an intention to have articles for all B-roads, there was no point. But the more I think about it the more I realise it does little harm, is useful, and - hell, it looks like someone is writing up a lot of them. certainly more encyclopedia worthy than a lot of the cruft here. Grutness...wha? 04:02, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, this is even worse than schools. Misplaced Pages is not toilet paper. Proto t c 10:20, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. The road is part of an important link between the two principle (and rival) towns of Caithness.
- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laurel Bush (talk • contribs) 16:04, 8 August 2005
- Delete, not notable at all. Pilatus 20:13, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, for reasons stated above as well as my reason stated below. -R. fiend 15:05, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, B roads appear to be on par with State or U.S. Highways in the U.S. Gateman1997 07:37, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
- They are not. In Britain, B-roads are minor county roads. Major highways are designated A-roads. Pilatus
- Depends on the state. States like Kentucky have a state route network of the same relative density as the B-roads. --SPUI (talk) 19:11, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
- Britain is not Kentucky. My God, this is a minor road in a thinly populated corner of Scotland! (Ehrm, do you mean to say that any road in Kentucky is inherently notable because there are so few? Sort of like Wal-Mart in Britain, if there were any?) Pilatus 16:00, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

- COMMENT: please see - and join in at - Misplaced Pages:Consensus/B roads in the United Kingdom
