[edit] Controversies surrounding private highways

Controversies surrounding private highways (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Page is entirely original research; seems like it was someone's research paper. Has some references, but makes no claims of notability. Page is also orphaned. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 04:14, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. This is all content that was moved from private highway. There had been several remarks made that the pro and con arguments were silly to have in a general article about private highways, so I moved it. Per the general notability guideline, "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." This topic meets that threshold. Sarsaparilla (talk) 04:30, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. Why doesn't that page link to this one, then? The header gives no indication of the main page, so I assumed it was just a new page. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 04:34, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
    • I hope you didn't find my failure to crosslink the article annyong. Sarsaparilla (talk) 04:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: Until you told me that this was a branch from the other page, I had no idea. There were no links across pages at the time. I just added some links around, but they need to be put in the right locations. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 04:47, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
