Evolution of motorway construction in Asia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This doesn't meet WP:LISTN or WP:GNG. Vague topic. Was de-prodded by user:Andrew Davidson. Andrew, thanks for looking it over, could you explain a bit more about your reason 'per WP:DEPROD'? Thanks. Boleyn (talk) 10:17, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Vague topic? You want me to explain what a motorway is?  Or the history of the motorway network in Asia -- the world largest continent?  Sorry, the nominator is the one who has to make a case per WP:BEFORE but I'm not seeing any specifics about the topic here.  It's just another drive-by, geddit?

 * The 'evolution' of motorway construction I feel is vague and potentially confusing. Also as Asia is such a large continent, I feel it is too wide a concept. I can see this as a category more than an article, and if kept, would benefit from re-wording of article title and clarity of concept. Boleyn (talk) 12:16, 2 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. The only two sources don't work and there is a lot of incomplete columns and barely any context other than stats. Ultimately fails WP:GNG. Ajf773 (talk) 10:34, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Note the author also has contributed on articles such as Evolution of motorway construction in European nations, Evolution of motorway construction in European Union member states and Evolution of motorway construction in African countries. All of these I believe are equally worthy of discussion. Ajf773 (talk) 10:39, 3 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete: per nom. I note, with interest, that the sole keep proponent has not actually advanced a valid rationale to keep the article, never mind come up with significant coverage in reliable sources explicitly covering the topic.   Ravenswing      14:49, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete since it fails WP:GNG as a topic. Plus, as Boleyn states it's an extremely vague concept that could be confusing. Along with being to wide a concept. Outside of that, I see good rational to keep it. Hopefully Boleyn will not be discouraged by Andrew's attitude and will open AfDs for the articles that are similar to this one. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:27, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
