Contested prod. This seems like a non-notable traffic circle to me. Yeah, its old, but really, its a traffic circle. Any relevant info can be covered in the route articles ,List of traffic circles in New Jersey, or in the Pennsauken Township, New Jersey article.

Delete, not notable enough and the image doesn't even look like it is a traffic circle.Sumsum2010·T·C 04:28, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Since it now appears to be the oldest rotary traffic circle in the United States, I suppose that does give it sufficient notability, although the real reason is that new sources have been added to sufficiently demonstrate notability (which is not inherent). Guoguo12 --Talk-- 13:55, 31 December 2010 (UTC) ~~Delete:~~ Of the three online references, one doesn't work and one doesn't really mention the subject. I can't find any sources online beyond the one news source provided. Hence, I don't think the subject has received the "significant coverage" demanded by the general notability guideline.

- The one that "doesn't work" does work if one simply looks it up (by the title, dateline, and byline supplied in the citation) in the Courier-Post's archives. Uncle G (talk) 05:04, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hmm... you were right, but only the abstract is free. Guoguo12 --Talk-- 13:55, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I think I've found some sources to help, which I'll add shortly. - Theornamentalist (talk) 05:20, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Sourced claim to be the "first rotary of its kind in the U.S."[1] makes this notable. --Arxiloxos (talk) 06:33, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This circle has historical value in being the first highway traffic circle in the U.S. Dough 48 72 16:09, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
