Procedural nomination. The usual process: I deleted an expired PROD entry, and the author thought this was because of a personal vendetta against him instead of a routine janitorial process, and proceeded to rather insultingly comment about it. Because of this, I have undeleted the article and automatically nominated it for deletion. No vote. J I P  &#124; Talk 22:05, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Redirect There are some, albeit few, references to the phrase so it may be a plausible search term.

 * Comment. Could the nominator please provide a link to where the article creator contested deletion, so that we can judge for ourselves whether the nomination correctly describes what has happened? I'm a bit concerned that the nominator thinks that deleting a PRODded article should be an automatic process, and that the automatic response to contesting deletion should be an AfD nomination. If such things are supposed to be automatic then we might as well have bots for administrators rather than human beings. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:09, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

 * It's a pretty big leap from "If you are unaware of the importance of a place because you've never been there, nor live anywhere near it, please refrain from deleting it. Put Dead Indian Memorial Road back up" to "the author thought this was because of a personal vendetta against him instead of a routine janitorial process, and proceeded to rather insultingly comment about it". And that comment certainly wasn't vandalism as the nominator characterised it, but simply opposition to the proposed deletion. The subject may or may not be notable, but I would expect a more honest deletion nomination from any editor, let alone an administrator. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:33, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree that it wasn't vandalism and have therefore undone my own update to the vandalism count. However, because I have already started this AfD discussion, I want to let it run to a conclusion, and then agree with it whatever it results in. J I P  &#124; Talk 21:46, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment being on a different continent, I have little idea whehter this is a "main" road or a minor one. If it is a main road, potentially it might get a legitimate article.  Needs wikifying for a start.  If kept, rename with appropriate capitalsiation.  Peterkingiron (talk) 23:58, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Oregon Route 66 per normal Wikipedia practice. Only the very most notable common names are used for the primary article when there is a numbered route to use instead. See, for example, Golden State Freeway, Rosecrans Street, etc. --MelanieN (talk) 04:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
