List of highways numbered 1188

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

WP:NLIST requires that the group or set that composes the list be covered significantly by reliable sources as a group. I'm not seeing any evidence from google searches or from other means that cover this topic significantly as a group, so I think that this fails WP:NLIST. (Update: I'd support the redirect proposal from .) — Mhawk10 (talk) 20:57, 13 March 2022 (UTC) (updated 19:40, 14 March 2022 (UTC))

 * Why start here, though, rather than at List of highways numbered 677 or List of highways numbered 1036 or List of highways numbered 1199? Why is 1188 in particular the starting point for deletion discussion? Uncle G (talk) 21:33, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Because I think that this particular list is not notable. I looked for sources that describe this particular list as a group and I could not find them. I don't really think that the existence of other similar unsourced lists prevents us from discussing whether or not we should delete this list. If you have found sources that would justify keeping this list as notable under WP:NLIST, feel free to note them on this page. My reason for nominating this for deletion is that there is no evidence I can find that such sources exist.— Mhawk10 (talk) 21:42, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Again, though, why this particular list? You haven't explained.  You went to Category:Lists of roads sharing the same title and stuck a pin in the middle at random?  Uncle G (talk) 08:40, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * If you are asking how I encountered this page, it came up while I was patrolling new pages. It seems non-notable under NLIST, which is why we are here. I’m still not seeing anybody make an argument that the page is notable. — Mhawk10 (talk) 14:36, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Disambiguate at 1188 (disambiguation) between the year 1188 and the two listed highways, and possibly others. I'd do the same for all the highway numbers that have fewer than 5 entries. –LaundryPizza03</b> ( d c̄ ) 23:26, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 147 (number) is the way that it is done for other numbers, notice. Uncle G (talk) 08:40, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment I've created 1188 (disambiguation). NemesisAT (talk) 23:48, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Now that the dab has been created, should we just delete this page as non-notable? — Mhawk10 (talk) 02:02, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Speedy redirect to 1188 (disambiguation) as an incomplete disambiguation. The only purpose served by these highway lists is disambiguation, so INCDAB is controlling in this case. I would not mind if INCDAB were used as a rationale to merge many other similar highway-number lists into disambiguation pages. They should not, however, be merged into pages about the corresponding numeric value (if we had a page on the number 1188, we should not list highways on it, because they use 1188 as a name rather than for any special properties of its value). [Note: I was brought here by a request on my user talk by Uncle G, based on my recent edits to some of the number articles.] —David Eppstein (talk) 16:50, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 1188 (disambiguation) - Highway 1188 presumably should not be a redlink and should redirect somewhere. For now, the newly-created DAB at 1188 (disambiguation) is that where.  I'm not sure about all the other numbers; that should be some other discussion. User:力 (powera,  π,  ν ) 18:54, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
