 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was    No Consensus to delete. Supporters of deletion correctly point out that county roads enjoy no assumption of notability, but supporters of keeping make a cogent argument that this particular county road may be an exception. Eluchil404 (talk) 01:50, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

This is a non-notable county road, unverifiable. This should be deleted. Son (talk) 14:58, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Unverifiable? This is a county road.  Just look at a map.  Anyway, this is a numbered road that covers three counties.  It's not just a side street. --Oakshade (talk) 01:17, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: This article needs serious work: sources for length, route description, history, etc. I don't believe county routes get the automatic notability that state route articles do, so more needs to be done to indicate what makes the route notable.  If this article is not deleted, it should be brought up to FLSR or USRD standards similar to Florida state roads. --Ljthefro (talk) 07:44, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 09:15, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Note: I wrote incorrectly. By unverifiable, I mean that it's not notable. That's what I should have written, that it fails WP:N not unverifiable. --Son (talk) 00:36, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Both the article and a map would prove the subject exists, but that's not a claim of notability nor does it show a need for such an article. Looking at a map gets the information across much better than prose ever could. - Mgm|(talk) 12:24, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. County roads are too thinly travelled for each of them individually to be a major consequence for a county's infrastructure. I am all for keeping articles about highways, but not every rural road in existence. Sjakkalle (Check!)  14:37, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Contrary to User:Sjakkalle's statement, not all county roads are as thinly travelled as he assumes. While it may not be a major county road such as those in Suffolk County, New York, for this part of the state, it's just as important and heavily traveled as Florida State Road 24 or Florida State Road 26. DanTD (talk) 17:14, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. A numbered road is notable. I will search for additional references to verify. Gamweb (talk) 14:33, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete A numbered road from a state is "notable", but a numbered road from a county is going too far, fails WP:N by a long shot. Also no reliable sources about the certain road in general other the the FHD, which lists every road in original research style, and tour guides. Tke keeps has no policy reason for keeping this article, and I just hope the closing adminstrator takes this to account, and the prior AFD, which was a clear poorly closed vote count no consensus last time. Secret account 18:09, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep though this article does need serious work, specifically on separating the junction table and the route description. -- M*gill*FR (blab to me) 04:30, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you explain why the keep. Secret account 15:34, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * All county routes are notable. You can probably find at least a source explaining this route. -- M*gill*FR (blab to me) 18:10, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:USRD/N - not all county routes are notable. Some definitely are, but some definitely are not. --Rschen7754 (T C) 19:06, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This appears to be a Florida State Highway that was turned over to County jurisdiction at some point in time. This would explain why it traverses 3 different counties. Google Books search for Florida State Highway 337 A former Florida State Highway should meet the notability test for those who are not satisfied with a County Road designation.

 * Delete No indication of noteability provided through third-party sources. Jtrainor (talk) 10:16, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep This is the second afd nomination and the road hasn't changed. This particular county road happens to go through several counties...so it is a fairly long road. There also has been some recent new as to a plan to remove the sharp turns in the roads. See road linkSmallman12q (talk) 19:44, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
