[edit] B1249 road

The B1249 is a minor road from Willerby to Skipsea – see where it is on Google Maps. (Willerby is near the top of the page, in the middle, the road then runs South and then turns East in Driffield.)

The article was nominated for deletion once back in August here, when there was no consensus to delete; someone else accidentally put is up for deletion a few days later and quickly withdrew the nomination. The article hasn't grown much since, and there is not much to say about this road except that it is a minor road linking two Yorkshire villages.

Editors who are not from Britain might read the article on B roads. In Britain, B-roads are collector roads that funnel traffic into larger arteries; unlike A-roads they are quite unimportant in the grander scheme of traffic infrastructure and the numbering is used for bookkeeping and local reference.

• Keep all numbered roads and per Wikipedia:Consensus/B_roads_in_the_United_Kingdom.Gateman1997 23:50, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Gateman, you said this above too. Can you point to anything in Wikipedia:Consensus/B_roads_in_the_United_Kingdom that supports what you're saying (besides your comment :)? Because what I see says just the opposite. It's not clear whether the consensus is to delete or merge, but it's definitely not keep! rodii 00:49, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • There is no consensus on that consensus page is the point I'm making with my vote. The vote was 13 keeps to 18 deletes which is not consensus in any way shape or form.Gateman1997 00:56, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
    • I see only four clear keeps. I see a bunch of comments with some version of "keep only if notable". It comes down, I think, to the idea that there has to be some way of establishing notability beyond just the fact that it's a numbered road. YMMV. rodii 01:28, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per consensus. Stifle 14:23, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - I originally nominated this road a few months ago. As I mentioned back then, I actually live near this road, and travel on it every now and again. But it's just not a notable road, it's a single carriage road with a pretty low amount of traffic on it. - Hahnchen 16:09, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep B roads as per my comments in the discussion. --SPUI (talk) 21:24, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per SPUI . -- JJay 05:40, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn road --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 02:18, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Perfectly good article on an interesting British B road. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 11:03, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Could you eleborate on this assertion? What exactly is it that makes this road interesting that the consensus that generally sees B-roads deleted should not be respected? Pilatus 13:57, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. As above. Just because you dont find it interesting doesnt mean somebody doesnt. Although if its articles about non notable and non interesting things that are eligable for deletion, I might just put a delete notice on George Dubya's page...... Jcuk 10:54, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The article is perfectly useful as it is, it's on an encyclopedic topic. and it may well grow in time. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 13:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Hey, no fair, you voted already! :p Johnleemk | Talk 16:46, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
