[edit] Olchfa footbridge

This (unreferenced) article is about an ordinary, unremarkable footbridge. There are millions of similar structures around the world and I can't see why this one should have an article at Wikipedia. Previous AfD discussion from 2005 is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Olchfa footbridge (the result was no consensus). KFP (talk | contribs) 16:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - I may be missing something, but where is the assertion of notability? It might be good to remember that Wikipedia is not a repository for trivial facts. -bobby 17:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - I'm with BOBBY. Chris Kreider 17:08, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - not sure why it's notable. The picture itself is used in Beam bridge, but I can't tell why this bridge is any more notable than any other bridge. Now, if it was an open-spandrel reinforced concrete deck arch bridge, then I'd be interested in it, but this isn't all that exciting. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 18:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. I created this article not too long (~3 months) after I first arrived on Wikipedia, and from checking the what links here I suspect it propably relates to User:Centauri's assertions that "All schools and other public institutions and facilities such as churches, railway stations, post offices, shopping malls, roads and bridges are notable, without exception."

Would you be adverse to merging the article to the Olchfa School which is pretty barren of content, so adding this bit wouldn't hurt it at all. Mister.Manticore 20:17, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't object to that - I wondered about commenting about a merge, but wasn't aware that article existed. Thryduulf 20:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Works for me then. But if you just want to add the information that you know to the Olchfa School article instead, that might be easier than a merge. Mister.Manticore 20:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete This could be transwiki'd to a roads wiki if anyone wants to set one up... But here, it's unremarkable. SunStar Net 20:21, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge Since the original author has stated that they'd be fine with putting the information in the Olchfa School I see no reason not to merge then. Mister.Manticore 20:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
