Interstate 594

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

De-PRODed saying Google shows some sources for this number, but the only source added explicitly does not use the I-594 nomenclature at all. In fact, a Google search for this number does not turn up any usable sources, just online discussion board postings (fails WP:RS and WP:CRYSTAL for starters) and sources about Illinois Route 594, a totally separate highway.

 * Delete: Fails GNG for the standards of Interstate Highways. KGirlTrucker81huh? what I've been doing 03:54, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Sources for this interstate number? No. Sources for aspects of the claimed proposal? Yes. That was the reason I de-prodded, as there are other potential options (renaming and editing to remove the interstate number, for instance). I didn't consider this controversial when I was moving through the PROD backlog. This isn't an opinion either way, just an explanation of the deprod. ~ Rob 13 Talk 03:56, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect to Illinois 53, which already has more information about the subject than this article has. I'm seeing the same problem as in the nomination: I-594 is a made-up name from a message board of no weight, for an extension of Illinois 53 and possibly part of Illinois 120.  The only citation in the article is to a 2013 Illinois Tollway proposal, which explicitly says 45 miles per hour for the main stem, which implies that it's not even intended to be up to Interstate standards.  I mention Delete here because there's no evidence this is even a name used for this topic, except in a couple of speculative web pages out on the Internet. --Closeapple (talk) 04:31, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect is better than outright deletion, because the edit history would be preserved if/when there is more sourced content to add, and perhaps more importantly so that the Talk page will preserve a link to this thoughtful AFD discussion. Perhaps helping any future editor decide not to start up an Interstate 594 article.  I say Redirect rather than Merge because I gather from comments here that there is not really any significant, reliable content to merge. -- do  ncr  am  00:33, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG, fails WP:RS. The only highway with this 594 designation is a road in Monroe Louisiana. Not at all notable and not in the U.S. federal interstate system. Perhaps a WP:Hoax?SW3 5DL (talk) 22:08, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
