 * Delete per reasons I stated on my attempt to prod the article. just see WP:NOT it matches many of these criteria.  —  master son T - C 03:20, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. While lists have their place, I can't think of a way this list benefits the encyclopedia.  When is an encyclopedia reader ever going to want a list of towns a highway passes through?  I also can't see it helping the organization of editing; when is an editor going to want this?  So it doesn't seem to fit under the rules, and also fails the "How does it help the project?" test.  If the page's creator can comment on how they think this list might be of benefit to the project, please do so!  — DragonHawk (talk|hist) 04:22, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Information is already provided by exit lists in the state-detail articles anyhow. (Probably would have been simpler just to redirect this to the I-95 article, but eh, as long as we're here... —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 08:06, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I understand the premise, although it's misleading to say that these are towns that I-95 passes through. Yes, it's possible that Island Falls, Maine, population 793, has extended its city limits to the other side of the interstate, but in most cases, the highway passes by the town.  It runs right through the middle of some places on the list, Portland, Providence, New Haven, etc.  Since Scott5114 confirms that there are already exit lists for I-95, the author might consider adding place names to those.

 * Delete or redirect I have tried several times to redirect the article to the main Interstate 95 article but have always been reverted by the article creator. As Scott mentioned above, I-95 has a complete exit list (split into articles by state) which is easily accessed from the main article. These exit lists do a much better job of listing the actual localities the highway passes through. --Polaron | Talk 14:47, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - This list is useless and is not used. What is the point since there is a list of major cities in the route description of Interstate 95. --CG was here. (T - C - S - E) 20:42, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per all of the above, and apologies for the pile-on vote. :-P -- Kéiryn (talk) 16:07, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and Snow close. Per above.  --Son (talk) 04:49, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge with Interstate 95. Wikipedia is not paper, as we all know, but this information is not likely to be of interest alone.  As a rhetorical adjunct, why do we have individual articles for all US interstate highways?  I would posit that this information is highly relevant to that topic.  --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 07:58, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The information is already covered in the articles. This is redundant.  --Son (talk) 05:54, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
