Non notable B road. While some B roads can be notable, I am failing to see any notability in this one! jenuk1985 (talk) 21:30, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am failing to see how this article is "Evidently notable", prior to nomination I did some scouting around the internet and cannot find any information to suggest that it is notable. The only "source" the article links to is a map. Please also say how this nomination fails WP:BEFORE? WP:PRESERVE doesn't apply, (as mentioned above) there is nothing in this article that can't be worked out by looking at a map. jenuk1985 (talk) 13:00, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Most A and B class roads originated as turnpikes and many will have a medieval origin. We have articles on many (even most) A-class roads. Whether we should also have them for B roads requires a rather fuller discussion than can conveniently be had on a single AFD. I would not want to take this further to havce articles on every county's C-class roads. This article may indeed be a poor one, but that implies it should be improved, not deleted.

While no consensus has been reached on Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/B roads in the United Kingdom, a quick read of that page is suggested, giving arguments for and against B roads. This one appears to have no notability beyond that it appears on a map. If anyone can give new sources to prove notability I can't see why it should be kept. jenuk1985 (talk) 13:00, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I'm sure there are notable B-roads, but there's no assertion that this is one. As an aside, the cited sources are nearly 40 years out of date; if a map should be cited, it should be the current 1:50 000 Landranger series - not the One inch edition, which is more appropriate for things like vanished streets and railway lines.

  • Delete or merge into Hampshire, England#Transport. If it isn't notable enough to fit there, then it's not notable enough to have its own article. Fails notability and unless you can get some of that, I say delete now. --Triadian (talk) 21:03, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep An artery that connects several municipalities is notable. Roughly equivalent an American state route. --Oakshade (talk) 23:36, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
A UK B road cannot be compared to a US state route, the UK equivalent is likely to be a non primary A road if any at all jenuk1985 (talk) 00:37, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Many, if not most, American state routes are secondary (ie New Jersey Route 124), but they are considered notable. --Oakshade (talk) 00:49, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
