[edit] Nothing (Newfoundland and Labrador)

This is Wikipedia, not Map Quest. We're not a travel guide. Helicoptor 03:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Completely idiosyncratic non-topic. --Metropolitan90 04:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete as patent nonsense. Not patent nonsense, just nonsense. --Coredesat talk 04:47, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete not encyclopedic. Voortle 04:48, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as cute, but not really notable. Maybe if Nothing were something, we could include it. TedTalk/Contributions 04:55, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

  • The article appears to be about the gaps in a particular route on a partiular route planner. "Completely idiosyncratic non-topic" is indeed the most apposite description. Certainly the article cites no sources indicating that these gaps have been the subject of significant, or indeed any, discussion in secondary sources. Contrast this with here be dragons. Delete.

  • Delete. I'm not even sure what the article's trying to get at here. Kirjtc2 14:04, 28 June 2006 (UTC)--Optichan 22:47, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Although Nothing sounds like it'd be a city in Newfoundland, as far as I can tell, it ain't. I'll change my vote if someone can find a reference to the town of Nothing, NFLD. WilyD 14:39, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. No way to tell from what's written here if this is supposed to be a reference to a town or a region -- both of which would be notable enough to warrant articles. As far as I am aware, there's nothing in NFLD by this name. I too will be willing to change my vote if someone revises this article enough so that readers can tell what it's trying to say. 23skidoo 21:47, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
  • OK, I don't know if it helps but I wikilinked some of the routes mentioned. In fact NL Highway 1 ends in "Nothing" per WP, and if you go to Google Maps, there is a Sugar Loaf Rd connecting the end of Highway 1 with the Atlantic. That does not shed any light on what the two Nothings are, but at least we know now it's an accurate itinerary. ~ trialsanderrors 22:32, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's about nothing. --Optichan 22:47, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Nonsense. Also look at history of Newfoundland and Labrador Highway 1. --Tivedshambo (talk) 23:07, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Good catch. I reverted it to terminus. ~ trialsanderrors 23:15, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete possible nonsense. --Starionwolf 04:00, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Sounds more like a software bug than an actual geographic feature. Zetawoof(ζ) 07:09, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Pretty likely. There used to be a "Delete, New Brunswick" on Google Maps (over a trailer park, no less - some comment on social status? :)) Kirjtc2 17:20, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment Actually if you Google-map St. John's, NL, you'll see that NL1 ends in "nothing", then connects with Sugar Loaf Rd, which also ends in "nothing" just before it hits the Atlantic. ~ trialsanderrors 18:53, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, nonsense. —Hanuman Das 17:17, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Could be a hoax, on the whole, pretty dry article. --Sunholm(talk) 17:18, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
