[edit] Highway 6 By-Pass

Highway 6 By-Pass (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is on Highway 6 (in Ontario), specifically how its alignment got changed by the construction of a new by-pass. I think the original author might have forked the bypass content out of the original highway 6 article because he was under the impression that it was a municipal road, but it's not - it's still a provincial highway. I am therefore asking for deletion, and have already merged the "hwy 6 bypass" content back to the original Hwy 6 article. I apologize if this should have been a prod.

• delete - all information is already covered in the main Highway 6 (in Ontario) article, and should be - the road under discussion isn't a "bypass" as such, but a change in the alignment of the highway. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 00:35, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
• comment - PS, I'll put this AfD on my watchlist - I can answer comments in detail, since I helped design this highway in the first place. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 00:35, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:38, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

• Can we not just redirect this to the parent article? --Polaron | Talk 22:29, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. Highway 6 By-Pass has its own very important role, and unlike Highway 6, Highway 6 By-Pass is a totally different thing.  Smcafirst | Chit-Chat | SIGN  posted at 19:44, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

comment I was one of the people on the design team, and it is not a totally different thing. It is Highway 6. There is no legal entity called "Highway 6 By-pass". Its signs say "Highway 6", and MTO considers it to be Highway 6. (It's also not a municipal road.) AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 20:39, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
