[edit] Bering Strait Bridge
This page is for a bridge not likely to built in the near future. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. This article is a part of the "proposed" Global Highway already deleated by Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Global highway. --Natl1 20:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC) Natl1 20:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. I wouldn't exactly call this crystal-balling. I'd rather compare it to something like Nuclear warfare. It's a concept that has been studied and theorized about, but hasn't really happened. The Bering Strait bridge isn't really a planned/future subject in the sense of most crystal-balling. Reliable sources can be found for this (Discovery Channel stuff, local legislative proposals/studies in Alaska and Russia, etc). --- RockMFR 23:03, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Obvious and speedy keep Yes, it's merely a proposal, but like the Second Avenue Subway it's widely discussed (and has been for a long time), notable, and has reliable sources for references, unlike the "Global Highway" (which is mainly the concept of a small advocacy group and Reverend Moon, it seems). The bridge might become part of the Global Highway, but the bridge proposal was around for a long time before the Global Highway idea was hatched. Tubezone 23:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Keep, on account that it's a great article of something that will probably never happen for simple economic reasons. Not really crystalballery, as it was proposed and even planned, according to the article, just never really materialized. --Dennisthe2 01:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Strong and Speedy Keep This is the kind of fascinating article that makes Wikipedia great. Well written article about one of the most important transportation "gaps" in history. --Oakshade 23:23, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep it, interesting subject and is bound to happen some day.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.67.190.15 (talk • contribs)
- Comment - should this be named Bering Strait bridge (uncapitalized "bridge")? --- RockMFR 19:16, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
