California Aqueduct bikeway

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a procedural relist of a bundled AfD (see here for previous discussion). The original rationale (by User:JamesBurns) stated: "Wikipedia is neither a travelguide WP:NOTTRAVEL, nor a how-to manual WP:NOTMANUAL. Articles fail to establish why these paths are particularly notable. Some of the content in these also reads like opinion pieces, eg. "The Western Balboa section is frequented by soccer players and observers, which can make cycling tedious.", "The entire path is on the beach, affording beautiful views, mixed with the hazard of beachgoing pedestrians who do not respect the boundaries of the path."

 * Merge to California Aqueduct. As far as I can tell, this is quite simply no longer a bike path, due to post-9/11 concerns about the security of the water supply. If merged (or deleted, which I would oppose per WP:PRESERVE) seems to me it should be pulled from the LA bike paths template, too. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 00:56, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep since it is notable. Drmies (talk) 01:04, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to California Aqueduct. There's not enough information to support a separate article, but a previously existing bikeway that was the longest in the area clearly needs to be covered for historic purposes. Drmies' search prove it's verifiable. - Mgm|(talk) 09:39, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
