Cary Parkway

unremarkable road, not significant enough to warrant a dedicated article. lacks references. RadioFan (talk) 02:53, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. There appears to be enough out there to write an article. Most of it is just ordinary projects like repaving, but and  provide some history and talk about its importance, and  talks about a proposed extension. --NE2 07:36, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. This appears to be a significant road in this metropolitan area - not clear if it has a state highway number, but looks ok under Notability_(streets,_roads,_and_highways) guidelines.  Needs sources added, but article was just created, by gosh!. --Milowent (talk) 15:00, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Addition: the State DOT lists this road as an example of a "boulevard", which seems to match up with the wikipedia guideline. --Milowent (talk) 15:32, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment I drive this road daily and dont see how could meet notability guidelines. It's not part of any central business district.  It's not part a numbered system.  Its been mentioned in local news of course (mention of accidents, repaving and widening) including several where the road is the subject of the article (widening, extension) maybe I'm not interpreting WP:STREETS but the depth of coverage to meet WP:GNG just doesn't appear to be there.  While the NCDOT calls it a boulevard, I dont see it as meeting WP:STREETS definition of a boulevard.  Unless I'm interpreting it incorrectly, this article does not meet []WP:STREETS]] because it's a main road mostly lined by residential development rather than the "commercial or other major non-residential development" as called for WP:STREETS.--RadioFan (talk) 22:53, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I gave a few sources that meet the general notability guideline. --NE2 23:28, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - I've driven on this road too and can attest it is a major heavily traveled ring road (well, almost ring). The sources added by NE2 give more confirmation of its notability. --Oakshade (talk) 21:12, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep clearly a major road in the area--very few of the roads and streets there are 4 lane divided roads, as this one is.    DGG ( talk ) 02:57, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into Cary, North Carolina and redirect. Unless this article just happens to have enough unusual stuff to form an article, I believe merging it into the Town's article under Transportation would be beneficial. That Transportation subsection could use some beefing up before the parkway has its own article. This is what was done to the similar Apex Peakway --Triadian (talk) 23:19, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - This road appears to a notable road in Cary and can sustain its own article. Dough4872 (talk) 16:31, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
