Keep - Not just an A road in name, but a main artery in northwest Wales being the primary, and frequently only, connector of multiple towns and villages including Caernarfon, Brynrefail and Llanberis and on the south banks of Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris. WP:ROADOUTCOMES demonstrates the encyclopedic value of such roads. --Oakshade (talk) 00:26, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A2204 road and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A4032 road closed as redirect so I don't believe that is always the outcome. "Most numbered roadways are acceptable if they can be described beyond the route itself." is from what you pointed to. You also only mentioned the route. SL93 (talk) 02:49, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Those were very minor roads - one 200 meters long! The Telegraph calls this road's entire length one of "The World's 10 Best Drives"[1] and the Daily Mail has Richard Wilson going into detail about it.[2] All of this is beyond the route itself and would be out of place in a targeted list article. --Oakshade (talk) 03:31, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Satisfies WP:ROADOUTCOMES. Clearly a notable road. Smartyllama (talk) 14:58, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Best known for being one of two roads - this one through the Llanberis Pass - to the foot of the highest mountain in Wales. The other being the more challenging ascents from the A4085 road. At nearly 18 miles (29 km) long, I think it is a stretch to say it is minor. On the other hand, the route is neither primary or trunk, per this image and this list.

Keep as it satisfies WP:ROADOUTCOMES --Kostas20142 (talk) 12:49, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
