This road does not appear to meet WP:GNG or any of the the criteria at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Streets#Notability guidelines. I found one good source through a search on Newspapers.com,^[1] but all other sources I found only contain passing mentions of the road. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 17:47, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~I found two more sources that contain information related to the road as well. I have added them to the article. Acalitri1600 (talk) 19:28, 14 September 2020 (UTC)~~ Striking sock – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 15:51, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The two sources you've added (1 and 2 for reference) only contain passing mentions of the road. Wikipedia requires significant coverage in independent sources to establish notability. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 21:24, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the sources found by Acalitri1600. The source about Empire Grade goes very in-depth about the road and far beyond a passing mention. Additionally, Sunset magazine has a whole section in 1959 entitled "Along the Empire Grade" which is more than a passing mention.Oakshade (talk) 01:01, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete—doesn't meet WP:GNG. One article is not really "significant coverage". Imzadi 1979 → 06:39, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~There were two articles about the road that go in a lot of depth about the road, so this article does not need to be deleted. Acalitri1600 (talk) 06:45, 16 September 2020 (UTC)~~[reply]
Looks like deleting per WP:G5 Acalitri1600 is a sock of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Alexcalitri4 --Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:50, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As is Calibri2100. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:53, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This confirmation is sad. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:58, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
