[edit] Tilghman Street

I usually support the inclusion of most roads, but this one is simply not notable. Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 22:51, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Strong Keep: This is a major street in the third largest city in the state. It is cross-referenced in many other articles. It is poorly written, and I was about to save some substantial improvements to it, right when you entered your AFD nomination. It should be kept, and it does need some editorial attention to improve grammar and phrasing. PAWiki 23:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, this article states absolutely nothing besides "this is a road, it used to be part of a highway but it isn't anymore." Also, it has no sources and reads like it was written from someone's personal experience of driving the road, which makes it WP:OR. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 00:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Like Rschen, I normally support the inclusion of road-related articles, but there's no need to have an article on a non-notable road that no longer carries any designation of any kind. Even when it did have a designation, the designation wasn't restricted to that road, so there's no need to keep the article from a historical perspective. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 01:21, 16 October 2006 (UTC) Merge and redirect. Merge the content with U.S. Route 22 in Pennsylvania and Allentown, Pennsylvania, and redirect the article to U.S. Route 22 in Pennsylvania. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 18:22, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect, removing the original-researchy stuff, with Allentown, Pennsylvania. Per WP:LOCAL, it's significant to the city, so it should be covered in the city article. JYolkowski // talk 01:41, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

It's admitedly a very poorly written article and there's a lot of notable information about the road that's missing. That would support strengthening it, not deleting, it. PAWiki 02:32, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

If a lot of information about this road is added to Allentown, Pennsylvania, it would make sense to break it back out into its separate article at that time. Right now though there isn't a lot of information in the article, so from an overall quality perspective it's probably best covered in the town article.

• Merge - Looks like the main throroughfare of Allentown. Aspects relating to its modern role in the city should be merged with the city article. Its role as an old alignment of US 22 should be merged with the US 22 in Pennsylvania article. --Polaron | Talk 02:44, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm not against merging the US 22 portion into the US 22 in PA article; however, as of right now, the US 22 state-specific article doesn't exist. When it is created, Lehigh Valley Thruway should be merged into it as well. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 04:04, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge. If this road is significant to Pennsylvania roads as well as Allentown, then it should be merged with the Allentown, Pennsylvania article. --myselfalso 03:01, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as per Polaron.-- HowardSF-U­-T-C- 15:40, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
