[edit] B855 road

Fancruft. B-roads are countryside lanes, not national roads Pilatus 11:34, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. The B855 is the most northerly road on mainland Britain. Laurel Bush 11:52, 11 August 2005 (UTC).
  • That's right, the only fact that makes the road notable is that it leads to Dunnet Head, the northernmost point of mainland Britain. The fact is replicated in the Dunnet Head entry, and I can't see how the B855 road entry can be expanded beyond that. Pilatus 14:15, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Laurel Bush. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:59, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, county or state level road in the U.S. Also per Laurel Bush.Gateman1997 14:36, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • This isn't a US road. Conventions in Britain are different. A-roads would be equivalent to county roads. Do check Great Britain road numbering scheme. Pilatus 14:52, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    • I respectfully disagree. C and D roads might be nothing but local streets but per your own link B roads are at least the equivalent of county routes in the U.S.Gateman1997 15:01, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
      • No, county roads would be three-digit and four-digit A-roads. Trust me on that, I used to live in NY state and now live in Scotland. Pilatus 15:04, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Dunnet Head where it is mentioned. Generally B-roads are not notable. the wub "?/!" 14:50, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - Please get rid of the B road uselessness, an atlas in words is not good. Being the northernmost road in Britain does have some sense of notability, but just redirect to Dunnet Head. And Pilatus is right about the UK road classification. - Hahnchen 14:55, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, roads are verifiable, important and interesting, as well as being useful for navigation. Kappa 16:18, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  Wikipedia is not a travel guide. If we have to cover these roads, we can do it in a list or in the relevant town articles. Town articles should mention connector roads. Gazpacho

• Delete or redirect to Dunnet Head. The article doesn't even state that it is the northernmost road, which is odd, if that is its single claim of notability. -R. fiend 16:25, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
• delete B roads of little significance. --Tim Pope 17:17, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep roads designated at the national level. --SPUI (talk) 23:00, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete minor road. Gazpacho 01:38, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, b-roads are not now and never will be notable, barring some hypothetical b-road that might become famous sometime in the future because human sacrifice is performed on it. Nandesuka 02:13, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
• COMMENT: please see - and join in at - Wikipedia:Consensus/B roads in the United Kingdom
• Delete for resoning given on every other B road. Sabine's Sunbird 03:18, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. For god's sake, don't let B-roads be the new schools. Stick any relatively useful info in the Dunnet Head article and kill it good. Proto t c 22:40, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for the reasons at Wikipedia:Consensus/B roads in the United Kingdom The JPS 16:43, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. B-Roads are the new schools. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 01:38, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
