Zero reliable sources to support the information in the article. Was draftified in an attempt to get the article approved, but an admin continues to re-add uncited information in violation of WP:BURDEN. While this does have a map, that is its sole reference. However, the map does not support any of the information in the stub. The article is about a state highway. The map's legend shows that dark green and light green are the colors for state highways (state highway and new declared state highway, respectively). The first issue arises that there are at least 3 roads on the map in light or dark green which are numbered 10. There is an additional road numbered 10, in a different color green which is not explained in the legend. And here is the crux of the issue, none of the roads begin or end in either Gunna or Bhopal. In addition, the map does not include districts, and neither does it have the information needed to either confirm the length or have a distance measurement. This has been repeated in at least 2 other of these stubs. It would be easier, and more in-line with WP policy to simply redirect these articles to a list article, but that has been objected to.

Keep The nominator admits that this is a state highway, and WP:GEOROAD clearly says that state highways are typically notable. @Onel5969:, WP:BEFORE and WP:NEXIST suggest that you should check for sources before making this nomination. I assume you have done so? --Rs chen 7754 17:24, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And I suggest you read WP:VERIFY, WP:BURDEN, and #2 in WP:DISRUPTSIGNS. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:30, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, more attempts at intimidation. The government document http://mprdc.gov.in/2017-09-15-498.pdf linked off List of state highways in Madhya Pradesh easily validates much of this information. I will see what else I can find, but this is basically a WP:RUSHDELETE to subvert GEOROAD and NEXIST. --Rs chen 7754 17:58, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I will also note that MapmyIndia does verify the routings. --Rs chen 7754 22:31, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WPGEOROAD We had this discussion on American highways and global standards exist. Ask me about air Cryogenic air (talk) 13:59, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:GEOROAD. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:14, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Based on the confusion generated by the original mapping source, the nominator was right to flag this. However, a reliable source has been found to prove the road is a state highway, specifically, the official designation order, so the article fulfills WP:V. Further, Openstreetmap supports the route description, [1] (zoom in) as does the map source noted by Rschen. Rupples (talk) 05:22, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
