Why does this article exist?

As the heading says, I do not see a purpose of this article existing on its own when it can be incorporated into the main interstate article. These are managed lanes, not an entirely new route. --WashuOtaku (talk) 15:48, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The precedence has been set for having articles for other similar projects ex: Virginia HOT lanes, North Tarrant Express, Northwest Corridor Express Lanes. Mccunicano (talk) 15:53, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't make it correct, we also have articles which incorporate the managed lanes, especially when there isn't much information to give about them beyond "point A" to "point B." The history itself is part of the main route. While this is only my opinion, I do not believe there is much here to warrant the articles existences. --WashuOtaku (talk) 16:00, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Per Wikipedia:PAGEDECIDE shorter pages are better than merged pages. There is enough resources out there to easily make this a page that is not a stub. It was just created after all, so there might not be much here now, but with some time (it's past midnight from where I'm editing) it can be much more than an "A to B" article. Cheers Mccunicano (talk) 16:18, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should be using Wikipedia:WikiProject_U.S._Roads/Notability as a guide, since this is a highway article. I do not believe it is notable enough to be stand alone from the main interstates and should be incorporated instead, not a small stand alone article. --WashuOtaku (talk) 06:06, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Then the Project's standards are in direct contradiction with Wikipedia's standards. There's plenty of hard work out there that has been done on managed lanes that stands in contradiction with the Project's standards. Either the project needs to reevaluate and merge those pages, or they need to reevaluate the standards based on the conflict with Wikipedia's standards. This page exists because the others do. They should either all exist, or not at all. I don't see the point in getting rid of information and hard work on a site that encourages the spread of information.
