Non-notable?

[edit]

I don't see any reason this article is any more non-notable than any of the dozens of other county route lists on Wikipedia. Famartin (talk) 07:08, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS for what that is not a valid line of reasoning to use in defense. Also, WP:GNG tells us that we need "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list" which this article lacks. Notability hasn't been satisfied here, which is the bar we use to determine if this article should exist. Even if other similar articles exist, they weren't the ones being proposed for deletion.

Could you explain how you come to the conclusion in a bit more detail about how this article fails the notability test? Your claim that it simply doesn't is not helpful. Famartin (talk) 08:05, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
GNG says that the subject matter needs "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"
  • "significant coverage" would be about the specific subject, not passing mentions
  • "reliable sources"... no blogs, etc.
  • "independent of the subject", in this case, not from the county highway department
Those points must be satisfied to demonstrate notability. Imzadi 1979 → 09:19, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
So pretty much you are saying that because no one lives here, its not notable (because those are all results of the low population of this region, I can assure you... in a more populated place, I'm sure all those would exist). Famartin (talk) 18:36, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Do the local newspapers discuss the county roads there? Are they mentioned in local guide books? Are the numbers used on locally produced maps of the area? You don't need newspaper coverage from The New York Times to justify notability, when the local newspaper satisfies the criteria. However, if the numbers are just used internally with the county road department, have no real currency with the local population, then a list of them doesn't merit inclusion in the encyclopedia.
