[edit] B5405 road

The B5405 road is a 5 km road linking two Staffordshire villages - see it here on Google Maps. It may be useful for the locals to travel from one village to the other, but in the grander scheme of traffic engineering it isn't. B roads are collector roads that funnel traffic into larger arterials. Neither does it have any historic or cultural significance to speak of.

It was nominated here once, back in August, when there was no consensus to delete. See the discussion here. Meanwhile one contributor has added some more local directions, but Wikipedia still isn't a map in words.

Delete this per the consensus at Wikipedia:Consensus/B_roads_in_the_United_Kingdom. Pilatus 17:47, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep all numbered roads per Wikipedia:Consensus/B roads in the United Kingdom. Gateman1997 19:01, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per Wikipedia:Consensus/B roads in the United Kingdom --TimPope 19:39, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete without giving a flying f**k about Wikipedia:Consensus/B roads in the United Kingdom. This road appears to have absolutely nothing to commend it to an encyclopaedia. It is not exactly the Cat & Fiddle Pass, is it? I bet 99% of people who drive along it don't notice it's there! Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 21:04, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. The consensus can't be both to keep and to delete! My reading of it is that the consensus us is keep notable, delete others, which is also common sense. Is this road notable? rodii 21:14, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • No. Delete it. Tonywalton  | Talk 21:15, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete nn road --Jaranda wat's sup 02:06, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep for goodness sake why not?! Frankly I find articles on omnibuses a complete waste of time, bandwidth and energy. Somebody however takes the time to write them, and as long as they are obviously not trolling, I see no harm in keeping them. Jcuk 11:07, 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)
