A419 Road Bridge

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Some bridges are notable; they may be Grade I listed, designed by a significant engineer such as Thomas Telford or be regularly featured in books and television. This slab of concrete is none of these. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  10:09, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

 *  Delete  Merge (with something) It's not even mentioned at Cricklade, let alone pictured. In fact, neither is the entire "Cricklade By-pass" (which doesn't have any article) mentioned there. To be fair, it is at least two slabs, but evenso... Martinevans123 (talk) 10:39, 2 September 2016 (UTC) Has it ever been the location for a charity walk involving false breasts?
 * Delete. Not important enough for its own article... if it or the bypass need a mention, the best place is in the Cricklade article, with suitable refs. Acabashi (talk) 10:45, 2 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge at least some of the contents with Cricklade (or possibly A419). There is a nice List of crossings of the River Thames and it would be a shame to spoil the link from that but a redirect to a section of a broader article would seem to me to be utterly unobjectionable.

 * Do we actually know the bridge is even known by this title? The claim is unsourced and a search doesn't bring back anything definitive. Usually, bridges have some sort of name, even it's a bland serial number type. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  12:31, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * The article says it's called "Thames Bridge" (!) and, surprisingly, some dear soul has included that in the disambiguation page Thames Bridge. It's reassuring to know the encyclopedia is in good hands. I'll investigate. Thincat (talk) 14:04, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * That's a good point, Thincat, about List of crossings of the River Thames. I've changed my !vote above to "Merge (with something)." I think it might still need at least one source to deserve a mention or image anywhere. It's hardly a landmark atttaction in Cricklade, is it? Martinevans123 (talk) 14:32, 2 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge with A419 road. Individual bridge, not found to be notable. Some other links on that page also could do with deletion. Nordic   Nightfury  11:52, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Which part of the (entirely unsourced) text are you planning to merge? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  07:26, 6 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment I've found that a statement I made above is wrong. Now struck. I'll blame my satnav. I hope this hasn't sent this discussion down a wrong road. I wonder whether a mention could be put into Cricklade without copying from this article – the current title isn't a very useful search term. The bridge's significance is that it is the last public bridge on the Thames under which one can navigate (in a very small boat) before getting stopped at the Town Bridge in Cricklade.

 * How small is very small? Martinevans123 (talk) 09:41, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
