Bakersfield Freeway Network

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

This was an expired PROD that was subsequently recreated by the author. This article is basically WP:OR; while there are definitely freeways in Bakersfield, there's no proof to back up the assertion that this is a "network". Either delete, or merge to Transportation in Kern County, California. Rschen7754 02:25, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Original research. I lived in SoCal for decades and never heard these freeways described in this context. Kuguar03 (talk) 02:53, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. –Fredddie™ 04:21, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per above. It's a bad sign when the first paragraph of the article's body has to define a scope for the network's reach. If it was truly a network, the scope would already be defined by other entities to a point where you don't need to do it in the article. –  T M F 08:05, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. Most of the content of the article fails these two principles, and once that content is removed, this article has nothing left to contribute to the 'pedia, either as a stand-alone article or merged elsewhere.  Imzadi  1979   →  00:01, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete seems to be mostly original research, per nom. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 17:10, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge information to Bakersfield, California and Transportation in Kern County, California and Delete title as "Bakersfield Freeway Network" is an unlikely search term.  Dough 48  72  02:29, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article itself provides sourced evidence in refs 7 8 and 9 that the transportation system was in fact planned as a network--as is almost always the case, since it is rare that people build major roads at random. The article is in fact about the planning of the network as well as the current status of the roads comprising it.   DGG ( talk ) 04:28, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
