B1249[edit]

I live nearby to this road. It is a none notable single carriage road, not really worth mentioning in an encyclopedia. Hahnchen 00:42, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, If this is the equivalent of the state highway in the U.S. then it should not be deleted.Gateman1997 01:43, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- B-roads are countryside lanes. Pilatus 11:40, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per Hahnchen. I'm trusting that the phrase "single carriage lane" implies it is a secondary road. Hamster Sandwich 01:47, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Correct - The B designation of the road signals a minor road. Hahnchen 01:56, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the clarification! 'preciate it! Hamster Sandwich 02:11, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
A roads would be the equivalent of state highways. B roads are minor, frequently little more than country lanes. And there are thousands of them - the vast majority of which wouldn't merit articles. Unless this one is significantly notewarthy in some way, delete Grutness...wha? 02:28, 6 August 2005 (UTC) (who once lived alongside the B4031)[reply]
- Changing vote to weak keep. The more I think about it the more I realise it does little harm, is useful, and - hell, it looks like someone is writing up a lot of them. Certainly more encyclopedia worthy than a lot of the cruft here. Grutness...wha? 04:05, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Based on the last comment my vote is KeepGateman1997 17:50, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, roads are useful for navigation. Kappa 12:15, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wikipedia is not an atlas of every road on the planet. -- Francs2000 | Talk 14:12, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
delete B roads in Britain are minor road, there would end up being thousands of these small stubs, which would present a rather poor image in an encyclopaedia. There might be some way of presenting the information in wikipedia, but it seems unlikely. --Tim Pope 17:07, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I suggest a look at B5405 road, B876 road, and Walton Summit motorway. Uncle G 22:51:36, 2005-08-06 (UTC)
  - I looked at those articles and they all seem like minor roads as well. I don't think theres anything here that is more than directions from one small town to another. I guess if those three articles came up for deletion I would have to vote against their inclusion. I might be wrong, and just need convincing. Thanks UG!

  - those three are now listed. --Tim Pope 11:23, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per Grutness and Tim Pope. Fernando Rizo T/C 20:09, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep roads designated at the national level. --SPUI (talk) 17:18, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, seriously, the vast majority of B-roads are lanes. This is ridiculous. Proto t c 10:27, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this entry and all other entries by the B-road vandal B-roads are minor roads; in Britain national roads are designated A-roads. Pilatus 11:29, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
