Interesting, yes, but essentially trivia. Besides, it's arbitrary: Who decides what should be included on the list and what not?—Scott5114↗ 09:02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-encyclopedic, trivial and hard to maintain — *H  ¡ρρ¡ ¡ρρ¡   12:27, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge all content to the appropriate individual highway articles (possibly in the Route description section) then delete the list itself. --Polaron | Talk 12:45, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is trivial information based on whatever the sign maker decided to put on it Corpx 16:42, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete It's not arbitrary: this is related to the concept of the control city. However, it's unmaintainable, and these signs aren't notable.  Nyttend 17:42, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:TRIVIA and not encyclopedic. It'd also be difficult to maintain how long is long. However, it is interesting.  Useight 19:46, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unencyclopediac, trivia. Merge content into the specific highway articles before deletion. ( [ →]O - RLY?) 21:02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:TRIVIA. The content here is definitely not encyclopedic.  master son T - C 21:04, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Fascinating information, and not trivial or unencyclopedic.  But perhaps could be merged with Control city.RandomCritic 01:24, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into individual routes mentioned in list. --Son 16:21, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Control city. And yes, this is encyclopedic. DanTD 14:16, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into the route description of the routes mentioned in the list per Son and O. I thought about sending this to AFD myself a long time ago, mostly because what makes a mileage sign "long-distance" isn't exactly clear. -- T M F Let's Go Mets - Stats 05:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into an article about the interstate highway system or about individual interstates. I enjoyed the article, but it's purely a WP:ILIKEIT kinda thing, and I can't see it being its own entry.  Mandsford 14:07, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination, I find it amazing that such a list managed to exist on Wikipedia since May 17, 2006. We need a peer review process to stop things like this from happening. Burntsauce 17:22, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I totally agree. I've been losing sleep over this.  Mandsford 23:32, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
