Thank you for your recent contributions, such as Kentucky Route 527. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, without the risk of speedy deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 03:55, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, you need more than just an infobox to make an article. You need actual text, because what was there before I redirected it likely would not survive deletion at Articles for Deletion.  Imzadi 1979  →   03:33, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok, time to comment more. WP:USRD, the US Roads Wikiproject is finishing up a stub-reduction drive for 2011 here. The KY 527 article you've created adds to the backlog of stubs that need to be expanded, and what you've created is severely deficient. Everything in the infobox box should be duplicate something in the article.
 * 1) The first sentence needs the name of the highway, in bold, with its abbreviation after the name in parentheses.
 * 2) How long is this road?
 * 3) When was it designated?
 * 4) What's along the road?
 * 5) Who maintains it?

To be rated above a stub, a USRD article needs two sections outside of the lead. These could be the route description, that is a text narrative of where the highway is located and where it goes, etc. Another possibility is the history of the roadway, and the last is the junction list table. Preferably though, the article should have citations to the appropriate maps (paper or online) to support the information in the article. Currently KY 527 is un-referenced. If you have any questions, please ask on WT:USRD, which is the project's talk page.  Imzadi 1979  →   03:50, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
