Talk:Interstate 695 (Pennsylvania)

Notability
can you point me to the sources which you have reviewed to come to the conclusion that the topic has received enough coverage to be notable? Horse Eye&#39;s Back (talk) 16:04, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It should be noted that Dough4872 did not create this article; it was created in 2005 by an unknown IP editor, and has existed continuously as an active article since then. Whether or not this passes WP:GNG is a different matter; perhaps WP:AFD can decide that, but on the matter of the article existing, Dough4872, who started editing this article about a year ago, is over a decade and a half late to the party.  -- Jayron 32 16:08, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Dough4872 started editing the article over a decade ago (first edit I can see is 2008), much of the existing article is their OR. Horse Eye&#39;s Back (talk) 16:11, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I missed that. Thanks for the clarification.  Strictly speaking, it isn't OR, it's just sourced to less-than-perfectly reliable sources.  OR would mean that the person that added the text did so based on their own personal experience.  The article is based on source texts.  Just not great ones.   -- Jayron 32 17:11, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Its both OR and sourced to less-than-perfectly reliable sources. Original research doesn't have to be based on their own personal experience, our WP:OR policy also cover original analysis which is the specific form of OR (the wikipedia term of art) which occurred here... Specifically original analysis of a map. Horse Eye&#39;s Back (talk) 17:14, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Entering into this convo very late, but there's signifcant scholarship on the movement to block the South Street Expressway (one of the first inter-racial coalitions to successfully block an urban interstate at the end of the US urban renewal era; preventing the demolition of one of the oldest and most storied Black neighborhoods in the US (the Seventh Ward of DuBois's "Philadelphia Negro" fame), but at the cost of large scale gentrification and displacement of its Black residents), and it's certainly notable for that reason alone if no others; I can post more of the scholarly sources later when I'm not on mobile, but a couple of popular media articles to that point [] [] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.58.97.206 (talk) 17:22, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Map is wrong
Hi,

The map currently shows the corridor incorrectly positioned; it should run along South Street, about a mile north of where it currently is shown crossing central Philly. This is a substantive difference, as the neighborhood it is (incorrectly) shown as running through is very different from the one it was actually supposed to run through; this also contradicts the article text. Could someone with more familiarity with how to edit the maps correct this, please? Thank you!
