  • Delete, no evidence of notability. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:52, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. I agree that the author has presented no evidence of notability. I suspect, though, that any large bridge was the subject of considerable newspaper coverage at the time it was being planned, designed and built. But without access to the newspapers of that time which served Lowell, Massachusetts, I can't expand the article to demonstrate notability. If the bridge forms part of a numbered highway, that should have been mentioned, perhaps in the article about the highway if notability can't be demonstrated for the bridge.--Eastmain (talk) 04:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. I would have to say delete it, because Wikipedia is not a directory, and it also is not notable for any reason. It would be like writing about a stop sign. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mythdon (talk • contribs) 06:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:LOCAL. Google searches indicate this bridge (now "Cox Bridge" built in 1937) is a locally significant transportation landmark, but with little significant mention beyond Centralville, Lowell or Tsongas Arena. • Gene93k (talk) 11:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete unless some other significance about this bridge (like unique architecture, or inclusion in a historic district) is presented. I can't find much about it, though, although it will get you to the Tsongas Arena, and the bridge is green. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 19:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. I've been to Lowell recently. There are lots of notable things in that small city, but this bridge is not one of them. Bearian (talk) 18:28, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
