Keep, according to WP:NROAD, international road networks (such as the International E-road network)(...) are typically notable. Aintabli (talk) 04:27, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t think this is a typical road network - it would go through a war zone in the Black Sea - there are no car ferries from Samsun to Ukraine - there is only freight RORO directly to Russia Chidgk1 (talk) 12:01, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's recentism. This wasn't always a war zone. And what makes you think that this Eurocrat’s dream never came true? Apart from this having nothing to do with the EU (the normal context for the word "Eurocrat), it seems just as real as any other "E" route. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:44, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have no opinions on other ‘E’ routes. But this is hardly recent - there have been no public ferries between Samsun and Ukraine for years now. Chidgk1 (talk) 13:06, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Whether it's recent or not depends on what you compare it with, and has no bearing on whether we should keep or delete this article. Would you suggest deleting our article on the big bang because it happened nearly 14 billion years ago? And you didn't answer my question - what makes you say "unfortunately this Eurocrat’s dream never came true" in the nomination statement? This route appears at [1], which is linked on the article's talk page. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:43, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:NROAD specifically mentions this road network as being typically notable. If you think that's not the case you're better off doing a RfC to get them taken off the notability policy first. Jumpytoo Talk 20:20, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
