This page was proposed for deletion by Imzadi1979 (talk · contribs) on 8 January 2010 with the comment:
Doesn't assert notability; information should be merged into a larger article on Phoenix.
It was contested by Cnilep (talk · contribs) on 2010-01-08 with the comment:
Page contains substantial information, but needs reliable sources. A merge to Phoenix metropolitan area, which discusses arterial roads, would give undue weight to this road. A 'Phoenix metropolitan area arterial roads' page may be warranted.

Notable?[edit]

Really, is Baseline more notable than say Southern or Broadway, so much so that it merits its own page? I can't help but think that unless it's somehow important to pop culture that a random arterial road really doesn't need an article here. Anyone know the notability guidelines offhand?

Merge discussion[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

Baseline Road, Bell Road, Camelback Road, Indian School Road, Mill Avenue, and Sun Valley Parkway were redirected to Phoenix metropolitan area arterial roads. The new page also incorporates content from Central Avenue Corridor and Grand Avenue (Phoenix)‎, with links to Central Avenue Corridor and U.S. Route 60 in Arizona.

The pages Baseline Road (Arizona) and Sun Valley Parkway are currently unsourced, though they contain substantial information. The pages Grand Avenue (Phoenix), Camelback Road, Bell Road, and Mill Avenue are minimally sourced and also contain substantial information. Central Avenue Corridor contains both good information and sufficient sources.

Baseline Road (Arizona), Camelback Road, and Sun Valley Parkway have each recently been proposed for deletion, owing to their lack of verifiable content and their borderline notability. Rather than lose the information contained in these pages, I propose the creation of Phoenix metropolitan area arterial roads, into which the information will be merged and sources added.

Since Central Avenue Corridor is already a substantial page, I would have no objection to leaving it at its current location and simply including a {{main}} tag linking to it. I would not object to similar treatment of other pages that are deemed to warrant their own pages, either. Cnilep (talk) 17:29, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Works by me, but Grand Avenue is a part of US 60, and the logical merge topic would be that article. A {{main}} tag and summar at the arterial roads page would be good though. Imzadi1979 (talk) 22:57, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with merging Grand Avenue to a US 60-related page. Just to be clear, are you advocating U.S. Route 60 in Arizona rather than U.S. Route 60?

That's where I tagged it for a merger. Imzadi1979 (talk) 01:00, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am also adding Indian School Road to the proposed merge. Cnilep (talk) 17:43, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No real objections to the above from me. I'd support leaving Central Avenue Corridor as a standalone article due to its depth of coverage. The beauty of the merger solution is that should the section on an individual road expand to the point of containing enough material and sourcing it can be split back off with minimal fuss. This could also provide a good opportunity for expanding upon the grid system that recieves minimal coverage in the Phoenix, Arizona article. Shereth 18:22, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
