[edit] Old 27 (Clinton County, MI)

• Delete, not notable, roadcruft. Megan1967 07:12, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Unnumbered Michigan State Trunklines or the like. US 27 (or US 127, which has taken over that part of 27). I believe "Old 27" is a signed designation, not just on street signs but on actual route shields. --SPUI (talk) 11:14, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect. US-27 no longer exists in Michigan. In many, but not all, places it has been supplanted by US-127. I have never see the "Old 27" designation on a highway "shield" sign. The designation is common on ordinary roadside signage. older≠wiser 16:12, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure if it's like this in Clinton County, but it's signed in Otsego County. It would probably be best to have one page for all these state maintained but unnumbered state highways. --SPUI (talk) 16:36, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • In that particular case, it appears to be a county road sign, not a state highway shield. Counties can pretty much use whatever signage they like for county roads. older≠wiser 16:55, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The article covering US_27 already has this information. Having the information here is pretty redundant, and creating a specifice entry for the stretch in Clinton County is really going overboard. If there's any useful info here that can be merged into US_27 then do so, but I think this title is too specific to even hang on to as a redirect. Arkyan 19:41, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually this is the old pre-freeway alignment. Everything talked about in US 27 happened after the freeway was built in this area. --SPUI (talk) 21:27, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to US 27 and delete; major transport routes that are superceded remain notable (cf. Dixie Highway). Gazpacho 07:25, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  or if it can't be deleted, rename it to Old 27 and delete the redirect before merging. This title is useless. Gazpacho 14:43, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as per Arkyan. Edeans 03:44, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Useless title. Merge anything useful into U.S. Highway 27. Jonathunder 04:01, 2005 Mar 25 (UTC)
