The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Doing our own analysis of satellite imagery to determine the status of the project doesn't make for the strongest of arguments, but there's clearly no consensus for deletion here. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 01:53, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There has been some debate at Talk:Jinshajiang Jin'an Bridge over whether this article should exist. It is about a bridge which has yet to be constructed and very few reliable sources seem to be available. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:18, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Glabb, Andrewa, Timmyshin, ShakyIsles, Zhangzj cet, TonyBallioni, Amakuru, and George Ho: pinging everyone who commented at the move discussion. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:21, 6 April 2017 (UTC) @HighestBridges: may have further info.[reply]

Delete. No reliable sources yet provided even state that the bridge is planned. There is lots of politically funded material on the web, but that is all, and we might think of blacklisting at least one of the references given. This bridge may well happen, but it may not. Andrewa (talk) 19:38, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Not a strong keep, but this bridge is clearly under construction and will be significantly notable. The article just needs some better sources, possibly Chinese-language if necessary. --NoGhost (talk) 21:11, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Where is the evidence that it is under construction? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:31, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good question actually. I initially interpreted this article to mean it was u/c, but it doesn't actually state so. Interested to hear if there are other sources. --NoGhost (talk) 22:46, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The most info I could find is [1], but not a RS. If you assume it is accurate (note it was created recently in 2017), it says nothing about construction - it's all forward looking. At least the nearby Jinanqiao Dam is real. Can't find anything on the Huali expressway that it's supposed to carry either. Also note that it is listed in Bridges and tunnels across the Yangtze River without a source where it says it is opening in 2018, another indication it isn't happening as planned as the source above says opening in 2021.

Keep. It is definitely notable and from google imagery, it is definitely under construction. I fixed inconsistencies that were from when it is was Taku Bridge. ShakyIsles (talk) 04:16, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. ShakyIsles' mention of Google satellite view confirmation that it is under construction is significant. Discussion above can be interpreted to mean it was once planned for 2021 but is advanced to 2018. Wikipedia needs to try to keep up with major infrastructure in China. --do ncr am 02:05, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep. The delete arguments centered about it not being clearly under construction; since it is per Google satellite view, they should be disregarded. LuizdeO (talk) 23:17, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are some research papers on this planned bridge. ([2] [3]) --Antigng (talk) 09:01, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Question: where is this Google satellite imagery, because I am unable to find it? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:23, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand to the scope of zh:丽攀高速公路. This bridge is part of a partially complete highway; the highway does not have an article on the English Wikipedia. Judging by the (Chinese-language) sources on the Chinese Wikipedia article, there should be sufficient coverage. f e minist 15:36, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
