[edit] Desire lines

This has been transwikied per talk page and is unlikely to develop further from its current state of semi-expanded dic def. —WAvegetarian•(talk) 20:45, 5 June 2006 (UTC)...so merge as below—WAvegetarian•(talk) 17:34, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep, I think there is some room for expansion, such as engineering to avoid desire lines and the damage that they can cause - killing of plants, increased erosion. Also, there is a lot of stuff on Google about them. -- Kjkolb 21:00, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• please feel free to add to the description, i was hoping other people would add/modify the description. maybe its not right as it is now but i think 'desire lines' belong in wikipedia --Pdxstreetcar
• Weak keep, can't help but feel it should be redirected to it's 'technical' name, though. -- 9cds^(talk) 23:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• keep - needs work but the topic is important in transportation planning. dml 01:47, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• sorry i'm relatively new to editing wiki articles and havent had one challenged before so i apologize for my replies without the proper wiki language and text. 9cds: what is the technical name?--Pdxstreetcar 02:12, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Desire lines is the technical name in transportation. I don't know what 9cds is refering to. dml 19:32, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Ok, my apologies, I thought this was just a slang name as such. I stick by my keep, though. -- 9cds^(talk) 19:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: I understand its importance, but I think that the points brought up by Kjkolb and dml would suggest that it would better be covered as a subsection of Transportation planning with a merge and redirect.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 17:34, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep; there's definitely enough here for a short article. Making it a subsection of transportation planning smacks of Wikipedia:subpages, which are strongly deprecated. --Smack (talk) 15:37, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
