[edit] Dixie Road (Mississauga)

non-notable road, WP is not an atlas RJFJR 20:06, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep notable road, this is not an atlas --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 23:05, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment What's notable about it? Only thing I can see is that it's so close to the airport that I wouldn't want to live there. RJFJR 05:14, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
    • It's been assigned a regional road number, for one. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 05:47, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
      • What's a regional road number? (May be a regional term, because I don't think we have them in Connecticut.) RJFJR 06:49, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
        • It's a signed number like a county road. It gets shields showing the number. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 06:52, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
          • Is this rare in some way? The current article describes where the road is, is there something that can be added? Why would a person look in an encyclopedia for this road? Is it somehow historic? RJFJR 12:44, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Dixie Road is as notable as any one of the other 10,000 roads that have articles on Wikipedia. Skeezix1000 14:49, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Skeezix1000. --Ardenn 01:55, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete: I'm all for major (and even minor) highways, and have even been known to create articles about them, but this seems very non-notable. I would probably vote "keep" if there were some reference about the road itself (not just an address or directions), but I didn't find one with a quick Google search.

• Delete. Wikipedia is not an atlas or GIS program (...yet). I'm willing to change vote if it can be shown this road is historically, socially, or culturally significant. If being a piece of an infrastructure system (Regional road) is its biggest claim to fame, then give that system an article with this context (of its importance). --maclean25 18:56, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. WP:N Walter Siegmund (talk) 05:27, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless the article can show the road itself to have significance (historical, social, cultural, etc.) over and above its existence as part of a regional road infrastructure. Sliggy 00:32, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Organic expansion will prove notability (I believe confidently, being quite familiar with the area but not enough with its history, myself, to expound on the highway without research...) Samaritan 04:46, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
