 * Wow. Obvious merge (which doesn't need AFD) to County Route 174 (Sullivan County, New York) (which should maybe be merged with the other Sullivan County segments of old NY 17, since the designations change at town lines). The writing is typical Mitchazenia: "By 1994, over four decades from the consruction of the interchange, Route 174A was designated on the westernmost ramp." It makes it seem like it was unnumbered before that, when in all likelihood it got the number when the interchange was built, and the only reason for the 1994 date is that that's the only available map. The sourcing is also typical Mitchazenia, mixing up the spans of the bridge over NY 17, which is state-maintained as a bridge over a state highway, with the ramps, to say that "the westernmost span [which means what? the bridge is north-south] of the interchange...was not maintained by the state". This is a horrible article on a horrible subject for an article (note: Google is incorrect; the two-way curving leg is CR 174, while CR 174A is only the one-way roadway to the north). --NE2 22:48, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, the thing about the town lines are not completely true, CR 166 is disconnected from the rest - CRs 178, 179 and 179A does not change at a town line. As far as I am concerned you can merge it, but I will oppose merging 174. Mitchazenia : Chat   Trained for the pen 23:06, 13 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Each 475 feet(.09 miles) of pavement is not inherently notable. Absent multiple reliable and independent sources with substantial or significant coverage, this bit of pavement seems to fail WP:N. An article about County Route 174 seems more than sufficient.

 * I would have went ahead and Merged it myself - per NE2 —  master son T - C 13:32, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge with County Route 174 (Sullivan County, New York) per above. It's a common sense case – a suffixed non-notable route that only serves to connect another highway with its parent.  I agree that this shouldn't have been brought to AfD, because it's not enforceable the way Rschen says it was.  You can only speedy delete recreated deleted material, not resplit merged material, even if the merge was the result of an AFD discussion. -- Kacie Jane (talk) 19:55, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge - This route is way too short to have its own article (When looking at Yahoo Maps,I was stunned too see how short the road actually is. The residential side street I live on is actually longer than this route!)  and the information would be better presented in the CR 174 article as this route is basically a short ramp to that route.

 * Merge this and CR 174 to a new section about the CR 17X series on List of county routes in Sullivan County, New York. The only thing that makes any of the CR series notable is that they were once part of New York State Route 17, and all of them share that history. I don't see any reason why they can't be adequately covered there as a group. –  T M F 00:02, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into County Route 174 (Sullivan County, New York), per above. It really isn't worth trying to make a decent article about a 475-foot one-way connector ramp. --LJ (talk) 00:12, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
