 * Delete per nom. With no sources provided, there is no evidence of notability. Furthermore, the road appears to be only a few blocks long; the streets mentioned in this article that Marsh Road crosses appear to be all the streets that it crosses. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:44, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to William Henry Marsh per Deletion policy. Here is a source that verifies that Marsh Road was named after William Henry Marsh: The book notes: "William Marsh, administrator 1882–1883 and 1885–1887 Marsh Road 馬師道 máh sī douh Marsh Street 孖庶街 mā syu gāai Marsh Road and Marsh Street are named after Sir William Henry Marsh ... Marsh Road, in Wan Chai, runs parallel to Tonnochy Road starting from Hennessy Road, crossing Lockhart Road, Jaffe Road, and Gloucester Road, and ending at Hung Hing Road 鴻興道 at the waterfront." Cunard (talk) 00:13, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * There are other Marsh Roads all over the world and I'm willing to bet most of them aren't named after this guy. So a redirect from Marsh Road to the biography of one man makes no sense.--Rusf10 (talk) 02:10, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages (MOS:DABMENTION) says, "If a topic does not have an article of its own, but is mentioned within another article, then a link to that article may be included if it would provide value to the reader." The Marsh Road named after William Henry Marsh meets MOS:DABMENTION so it would be an appropriate inclusion in any disambiguation page of Marsh Roads. There is only one known Marsh Road topic that meets MOS:DABMENTION at this time, so Marsh Road should exist as a redirect to William Henry Marsh instead of as a disambiguation page. If there are other Marsh Roads that meet MOS:DABMENTION, then the redirect can be changed to a disambiguation page listing all the Marsh Roads. Cunard (talk) 03:49, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * There are other more notable Marsh Roads than this tiny 1/4 mile road. A search of wikipedia reveals Delaware Route 3 which follows Marsh Road for much of its length. There's also Marsh Road Level Crossing electric railway station in England and a book named The House in Marsh Road. And there are others. This is far from being the most notable Marsh Road.--Rusf10 (talk) 04:07, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

'''Move Marsh Road to Marsh Road (Hong Kong) to preserve the history and redirect Marsh Road (Hong Kong) to William Henry Marsh. Create a disambiguation page at Marsh Road''' containing links to William Henry Marsh, Delaware Route 3, and Marsh Road Level Crossing electric railway station. The disambiguation page would say something like this: Marsh Road may also refer to: The aim of these actions are to preserve the article's history per Deletion policy so that material can be reused in William Henry Marsh and to have a disambiguation page that links to all topics that are associated with "Marsh Road" and that meet MOS:DABMENTION. Cunard (talk) 04:30, 17 May 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Missvain (talk) 14:35, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate per Cunard. Deryck C. 22:15, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment. Normal disambiguation would be Marsh Road, Hong Kong, not parenthetical. See Category:Roads in Hong Kong. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:54, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
