List of highways numbered 19A[edit]

List of highways numbered 19A (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

A list consisting of two highways does not strike me as being notable. Ecoleetage (talk) 17:21, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - no need for this list. Perhaps the two articles could link to each other --T-rex 18:00, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I know there are more highways with the 19A designation around. I can vaguely recall one in Florida I was on one time. Perhaps changing this to a disambiguation page would do the trick, and additional routes can be added whenever anyone wishes. Hellno2 (talk) 18:18, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - If this article is deleted, then we will have a ton of AfD work to do in Category:Lists_of_roads_sharing_the_same_title. --Millbrooky (talk) 18:47, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Millbrooky « D. Trebbien (talk) 20:59 2008 June 16 (UTC)
  • Keep This in essence is a disam page, in a specialized format. DGG (talk) 21:16, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Hatnotes would have been the better approach to connect the articles. To Millbrooky's point - I would say that several of those lists should be deleted. Some of the lists have only one item in them: eg this one and this one. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS PKT (talk) 01:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I truly don't see the encyclopedic value of any "List of Highways numbered..." lists, however, given that there is a whole category devoted to them, and that this list NOW has more than 2 entries, I don't see a valid argument for deletion. I have not voted to keep, as I have made recent edits to the page, AND because, as I stated above, I don't see the encyclopedic value of any of these lists.

  • Comment I nominated the article for the AfD because the original version consisted of two highways. I just got word that the number of highways was increased from two to six. However, I am still not convinced about the value of this article. Outside of the coincidence of having the same numeric designation, these roads have absolutely nothing in common.

  • Response to above comment: A disambiguation page is really the norm on Wikipedia in these situations. Disambiguation pages exist when two or more articles exist on topics that have identical or similar titles. In many cases, that could be a number. Hellno2 (talk) 13:02, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - more highways need to be added to the list, hence the reason it says

This disambiguation page lists articles about roads, streets, highways, or other routes which are associated with the same title. If an internal link referred you to this page, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article.
