 * Delete There is a near zero chance any reliable sources cover this, since it was never even built. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 14:27, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. Not reliably sourced....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:55, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Eastwood, New South Wales as alternative to deletion. The proposal for this road goes as far back as the 1950s and part of it actually has been built (contrary to what Trainsandotherthings says above). The reservation for the road (which still exists) has been proposed a number of times for various uses (including most recently the Parramatta Light Rail). There are certainly sources for the planned road (the one link on the page includes some documentation sources at the bottom) but they would likely be offline and available via the State Library of New South Wales or similar. In light of the fact this article is not sourced and doesn't meet WP:GNG, as an alternative to deletion I'd suggest redirecting to Eastwood, New South Wales (which already refers to the road) and the article can be recreated at a later point with sources if they can be found. Alternatively, a more appropriate redirection might be to County of Cumberland planning scheme which is what the road formed part of (although the article doesn't currently refer to it).

 * Redirect to Eastwood, New South Wales. Sources available do not support GNG but do clearly indicate that the subject is ongoing and of interest to a wide range of people, so is a likely search term.  There are sufficient sources available to expand the relevant content with due weight in the redirect target.  Aoziwe (talk) 10:22, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment . What sources? The article has one source and it is self-published....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:20, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Have a look through google results. There are several.  See WP:NEXIST.  Aoziwe (talk) 12:28, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Problem is that few of the google results are reliable sources, they are largely either blogs or forums or refer back to the same self-published OzRoads website as this article. Problem with redirecting to Eastwood, New South Wales, is that the mention in that article also relies on the same self-published cite as used in this one. Bsbrouw (talk) 23:41, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment - Did you read my comment above? The Eastwood County Road has been part of the Cumberland Plan since the 1950s - there will definitely be newspaper sources over several decades but they're likely to be offline sources accessible through the State Library of NSW. The Ozroad website includes its own sources at the bottom, if you actually read it instead of writing it off as "self-published". Aoziwe's comment and suggestion is sensible and the redirect is a good option as an alternative to deletion. There is no need to delete this. Deus et lex (talk) 11:44, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
