List of minor state routes in New York

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This list was created in September 2007 in an attempt to merge together articles that were complete in terms of article content but were of short length. In recent months, however, consensus at both the New York State Routes and the U.S. Roads WikiProjects is that these lists should not be created if there is no common, defined property. An attempt to make one for this list was performed; however, at the end of the day it was still arbitrary. Thus, the list has been disbanded and the articles have been restored, and there is no longer a use for this list. –  T M F 23:28, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as the inclusion criteria are subjective. However, wouldn't proposed deletion be a better way as I don't believe this is controversial. --Polaron | Talk 16:57, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * In hindsight, probably. =) However, at least this way the list will have a detailed log of why it was deleted and explain why new ones in other states should not be made, helping to create precedent. –  T M F 19:34, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: agree with the AfD to help create "case law" for future similar AfD's.--It's me...Sallicio!$\color{Red} \oplus$ 19:48, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Redirect or create a new Route 412 article. Bearian (talk) 21:35, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It's already been done; see New York State Route 412. The reason it was never removed from the list is that there isn't much of a point to doing so as the list will likely be deleted anyway. –  T M F 21:55, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of State Routes in New York. If this content of this list was split up into separate articles, then we should be preserving the edit history for attribution purposes under the GFDL. The most sensible redirect target is where these routes are currently listed. DHowell (talk) 02:45, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
