List of single-point urban interchanges

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

Bloated list of SPUI interchanges with little value. Millbrooky (talk) 23:23, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Indiscriminate information and very hard to source. On top of it, this would be very hard to maintain as a complete list. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:29, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Aside from roadgeeks (raises hand) I don't see who has any interest in these making them notable. If there were a roadgeek Wikia it would fit right in, but it's well below encyclopedic. Include a few illustrative examples in the SPUI article, but a list is just an invitation to "add your local SPUI here". --Dhartung | Talk 23:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Indiscriminate, unmaintainable, unencyclopedic, cruft-magnet. A few examples in the main article suffice. Nick Graves (talk) 00:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Just as I posted on the article's discussion page about 4 months ago. Looks like TMF & NE2 would concur.  The roadgeek in me just couldn't bring me around to nominating it myself... I still get a tear to my eye thinking about when I nominated the list of roundabouts. -- Bossi  ( talk • gallery • contrib ) 00:41, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Dhartung. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * They forgot the intersection of Lake Avenue and Interstate 35 in Duluth, Minnesota. I think Lake Street (Minneapolis) at Hiawatha Avenue qualifies as a SPUI as well.  I nearly got run over at this intersection when bicycling through it a weekend or two ago, on a trip to take photos of buildings on the National Register of Historic Places.  I'm trying to populate a list that's much more notable and much more maintainable than this list of interchanges, which should be deleted.  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 04:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge to SPUI.  I hate snowball deletes, which is where this is headed.  I think this "Single-point-urban-interchanges-allidocious" list could go into the parent article.  Mandsford (talk) 19:22, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you have any input on its potential to clutter the main article; and how to maintain a list which is likely to become bloated & difficult to keep up-to-date to ensure completeness & accuracy? If there's some way to keep this sort of info, then the roadgeek in me is all for it; but I just can't see a good way for it to be done.  If given the choice between merging it into SPUI and keeping it as a separate list (disregarding outright deletion), then I'd probably opt to keep it as a list. -- Bossi  ( talk • gallery • contrib ) 19:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Just thought I would point out that all the SPUIs listed under Missouri are in the St. Louis area and that there are plans for 9 more in the St. Louis area alone that are not already listed. The Gwinnet Place CID website has a comment mentioning there are over 300 SPUIs in the US. Way too many to list. --Millbrooky (talk) 20:55, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Lists (discriminate, organized, and verfiable). Any concerns can be addressed by SOFIXIT.  Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 16:37, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree that it is organised and verifiable, but is it discriminate? Just to be devil's advocate: how is a SPUI any more notable than a stack interchange or a parclo? -- Bossi  ( talk • gallery • contrib ) 16:46, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per the many well reasoned comments above. Vegaswikian (talk) 07:04, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
