County Road 337 (Florida)

Article has sat untouched for over two years without any references. In its current state it discusses the route the road takes, but it does not give any information that cannot be gleaned from a map. I therefore believe this entry is not encyclopedic and unverifiable and should be deleted Mgm|^(talk) 22:00, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of county roads in Alachua County, Florida. Not enough content for its own article.

Keep Useful encyclopedic entry. Could use expansion. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:01, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm claiming it cannot be expanded. Can you prove me wrong? - Mgm|^(talk) 09:12, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I added a few of the mega-attractions along the road. I think notation of what communities it passes through would also be helpful. It appears to me to be an important road and I can't imagine why it should be excluded from the encyclopedia. Yes, I'm kidding with the mega-attractions, but there are notable features along the road and the road is notable in my humble opinion. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:13, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No reliable sources provided with substantial coverage, calling into question its notability. Some have argued for "inherent notability" of state and national roads, but the same presumption of notability does not extend to county roads, city streets, or my driveway.

Comment -- WP has lots of articles on long distance roads. The issues here are (1) that this appears to the only Florida County Road with its own article; (2) It needs to be determined what level of roads count as notable ones. Being on the wrong side of the Atlantic, I am not qualified to judge that. My initial reaction was to vote Keep, but I concluded that I was not qualified to do so.

- Comment -- County Road 32 (Levy County, Florida) exists. --Son (talk) 18:07, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- Non-notable, no reliable sources. Maybe if Disney World was on this road it would be notable, but a park and two other places, neither of which will likely have an article (two are currently redlinks, of the three places which were added), I can't see a reason to have this article. --Son (talk) 18:07, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Notable road through three counties in Florida. I was able to expand it, so I move for withdrawal by nom so we can save this encyclopedic entry. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:43, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment -- I don't see how this road is notable. The expansion done to the article, while helpful, doesn't give the article notability. All the expansion speaks to is the way the route number is routed. (The article more-or-less doesn't hit WP:USRD standards in layout, by the way.) For me to switch my decision, the expansion would have to include something significant happening along the route (and then be verifiable). I see no reason why the nominator should withdraw their nomination. --Son (talk) 03:37, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if the road is "notable" either. But I think the encyclopedia is better for its inclusion. It's a substantial road through three counties. It contains three trailheads to a major park. It's been the subject of budget discussions and meetings regarding maintenance and improvements. It's a significant artery that has been the site of serious motor-vehicle accidents.fourth entry It's also used as a reference point and located in an area where major natural disaters have struck.[1] It looks like its getting deleted as I'm decisively outvoted. So as an act of desperation I was challenging Mgml to back-up his challenge to me. I think I followed through, perhaps not enough to demonstrate great notability, but enough to improve the article with significant content and to demonstrate that this road is a substantial piece of infrastructure that is better left in teh encyclopedia than left out.
