[edit] April 2007

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the poll. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the poll was support US 9 in NY. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 16:47, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

  • New York State Route 15 - relisting from March.
  • New York State Route 31 - relisting from March.
  • U.S. Route 9 in New York - excellent prose accompanied by a number of pictures, as well as an extensive, well-sourced history section. Meets all the requirements of WP:USH and WP:NYSR.
    • Support per nom. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 03:43, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Support as the route goes through Saratoga Springs (my hometown). JB82c 20:57, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Support, though I was originally leaning toward NY 15. Not to gloat, but I believe that some of my contributions from as far back as when US 9 was all one article may've paved the way for much more of the info that's there today. ---- DanTD 16:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Support very strongly, and not just because I like my own work. This was a true collaboration: TMF and Polaron did good work on other sections. I think we could go with this one as a U.S. Roads selected article. I even think it's ready for GA, but I'd rather PR it first. Daniel Case 19:16, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Support not just to jump on the bandwagon, but because there's an inspiration to create a similar US 4 (NY) article (see my sandbox), and to echo sentiments on the collaboration, as well. Fwgoebel 15:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] May 2007

  • New York State Route 15 - relisting from April.
    • Support since I missed the chance to do it last time, although I agree that NY 747 has some nice imagery. ---- DanTD 14:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
  • New York State Route 31 - relisting from April.
  • New York State Route 747 - the road may not be NY 747 yet, but the article is already one of the better ones produced by NYSR. Has a number of excellent, appropriate images, a well-written description and a thorough history section. No communities box at the time of nomination, but one can be added relatively quickly. Other than that, meets and exceeds all the requirements of WP:NYSR.
