No need for a list. Sandman888 (talk) 08:45, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, it is a dab page redirected from Highway 500. Does this mean that you want all 1,200 pages in Category:Lists of roads sharing the same title deleted? 117Avenue (talk) 13:02, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep per 117Avenue, and although I can't find proof, this isn't the first time somebody stupidly added a list of highways with the same name for deletion. ----DanTD (talk) 13:50, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Valid disambiguation page, though I think it should replace Highway 500, that is, the redirect should be reversed. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 15:01, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. This is a set index page, not just a list. The ambiguous links Route 500 and Highway 500 redirect here, and this page assists in disambiguating those links. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of highways numbered 888 and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of highways numbered 19A. – TMF 15:07, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep extremely useful concept, valid set index. Imzadi 1979 → 16:19, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep. Previous consensus to keep should be upheld due to the nomination rationale not providing any worthwhile insight as to why this list is unnecessary. Indeed, the purpose of the article and all other articles of the "List of highways numbered x" ilk is to assist in disambiguation. --Kinu t/c 17:06, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, and i will assume the nominator is simply not familiar with these types of pages. I would prefer it be named something else, but its not a big deal, as far as i can tell.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 18:31, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - Useful dab page. Dough4872 19:46, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. This is a dab page. There are occasionally requests to have them all renamed to something else to make that more obvious, but they never really seem to garner too much interest. Why don't you hit us up at WT:HWY and we'll have a discussion about it? —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 20:39, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
