The result was Delete. Major roads in Metro Manila may be notable, but that does not percolate to the individual roads. — Coren (talk) 23:56, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Do not delete. If this article is kept, I then will complete other articles that will make up an article like Major roads in Metro Manila. I do not mean any disrespect, but an album is just an album, or a book is just a book. As the capital of a U.S. state, I think the internet's largest and best encyclopedia needs an article and a group of articles like Major roads in Metro Manila. The road is notable, esp. as a part of a larger series of articles. The article also has more information than the majority of one sentence articles (ie Battoni). Please keep the article, so I can complete the project. Thank you for your consideration. Master Redyva (talk) 16:00, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - While I understand and respect the uploader's good intentions to expand Wikipedia, the article unfortunately does not assert its notability. What makes it so important? Just because a road may be a significant arterial, for example, doesn't in itself make it notable. Is there any history behind the road? Can you provide information regardin*g its initial beginnings as, perhaps, a wagon trail that was eventually paved over; or perhaps did it ever serve as a critical part in parade processions; or has there ever been some other event? What exactly is it that makes it so notable to the local population? From what I can see on Google Earth, it just looks like a typical arterial roadway branching out into ever-sprawling suburbia. If the article is kept, however, note that the article appears to have some significant POV in it: for example, are you saying it should be widened; or is there a formal planning project proposing widening? Is a reference available for the whole link to sonetti? Additionally, the name section is rife with non-encyclopedic phrasing. --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 01:26, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Merge per Holderca1 statement below. Unfortunately, this road, while being locally notable for being heavily used on a daily basis, lacks notability. While the government has earmarks for road construction, there are thousands of common roads in the United States that are in the same situation as this road. If controversy swirled around the road, then you could have an article on the road. Unless the road is an unsigned state route in some manner (likely a four digit route), that would be the only reason to either a.) keep the article or b.) restore the article if it is deleted. --Son (talk) 15:22, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak delete. I would vote merge, but this article has several referencing and notability problems. If it is merged, it will need some cleanup to have a more encyclopedic tone. —Scott5114↗ 00:36, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
