Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Interstate and U.S. highways in Maryland

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. However, given the requests for a redirect to preserve the editing history to facilitate the improvement of other articles, I'll simply redirect to Maryland highway system, which appears to be the primary article that introduces and links to List of Interstate highways in Maryland, List of U.S. highways in Maryland, and List of Maryland state highways. — Scientizzle 13:22, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of Interstate and U.S. highways in Maryland[edit]

Redundant to List of Interstate Highways in Maryland and List of U.S. Highways in Maryland. There are three basic classes of state highway in the United States: Interstates, US Highways and other state highways. This list cherry picked two of the three classes, a flawed basis for inclusion at the list's inception. A recent overhaul of state highways list articles for Maryland has created separate lists based on classification. Imzadi1979 (talk) 19:52, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete ~~provided the sources get transferred.~~ Nom raises a good point in that this list is flawed by glomming together two things that are better off separated. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 20:10, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete now was redundant to the other lists. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:01, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, but split the content into the other two articles. The combined article is redundant now, but the individual tables and parts of the intro are done better than in the two separate articles. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 22:10, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No longer needed as list has been split. ---Dough 48 72 02:58, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - If the list has been split, this should have been redirected to the main article for numbered highways in Maryland as part of the process.-Jeff ^(talk) 03:03, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per nom. Merging elements of the introduction into the intros on the two other list articles may not be a bad idea, though. -- LJ ↗ 06:21, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to one of the other articles mentioned in order to preserve edit history, which could be valuable. Dew Kane (talk) 04:36, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Rename and convert to a disambiguation page. Between 20 January 2006 and 15 August 2008 this article was a the title List of numbered highways in Maryland - a logical search term (it got 572 hits in March alone, more than double the 277 the present title got). The present page should be moved back to that title (with a redirect) to preserve editing history, incomming links, bookmarks, etc. and then converted into a disambiguation page linking to the various lists of Interstates, US highways, etc in Maryland.
