The result was Keep Multiple Map sources can be found for county roads--Topo quads, state highway map, county highway maps, etc. Editors should add these references when they know they exist instead of nominating for deletion. Mike Cline (talk) 20:07, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of non-notable roads in a mostly rural area. Looks like page creator used Iowa DOT's Humboldt County map, but did not source anything. Also fails Google search even with quotation marks removed. --Fredddie™ 22:30, 16 March 2010 (UTC) List also fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Simply existing on a map is not a valid reason for inclusion. --Fredddie™ 21:08, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete – Until this list has sources to verify it, I can't support including it in the encyclopedia. Imzadi1979 (talk) 07:13, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep no policy reason given for deletion nomination. This list can be easily verified. There are thousands of these pages on WP, for example List of county routes in Rockland County, New York, List of county roads in Frontenac County, Ontario, County routes in California, among many others. These pages should not' be deleted on a case-by-case basis. If a list of NY county highways doesn't get deleted neither should an IA list of county highways. -Atmoz (talk) 19:44, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete until it can be verified. --Rschen7754 19:48, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - This article is a standard county route list in an appropriate format. Any editor can verify the content by looking at a map of the area and there is no real need to delete the list. ---Dough4872 00:28, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • For reference, here is a source that verifies the county routes. ---Dough4872 01:12, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Geographic features and maps have always been included in paper encyclopedias. This list provides data about man-made infrastructure in a limited geographic area. Since Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, there should not be a limit (or prohibition) to inclusion of geographic data such as this. For these roads to split into individual articles, each would then need to meet notability requirements. As a list, it simply provides geographic data in a written format instead of a map. - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 01:27, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep standard article in a standard formate. Maps are sufficient verification for such an article. DGG ( talk ) 23:59, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Is a single map that's not cited sufficient for inclusion? --Fredddie™ 21:35, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The map can be added as a source. ---Dough4872 21:57, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
