Metro Orange Line bicycle path

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

This is a procedural relist of a bundled AfD (see here for previous discussion). The original rationale (by User:JamesBurns) stated: "Wikipedia is neither a travelguide WP:NOTTRAVEL, nor a how-to manual WP:NOTMANUAL. Articles fail to establish why these paths are particularly notable. Some of the content in these also reads like opinion pieces, eg. "The Western Balboa section is frequented by soccer players and observers, which can make cycling tedious.", "The entire path is on the beach, affording beautiful views, mixed with the hazard of beachgoing pedestrians who do not respect the boundaries of the path."

 * Weak keep Appears to be notable pending improved sourcing and some clean up. ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:01, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge Sorry, but I think this should simply be a section in Metro Orange Line (LACMTA). I wasn't able to find any notable independent coverage of it, anyway. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 04:16, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

*Keep Major bicycle route. A merge might be appropriate, but deletion would make the encyclopedia worse and less complete. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:41, 8 April 2009 (UTC) Duplicate !vote
 * Merge so that the history of this article can be preserved and brought back into existence again if it outgrows its new home as a section in Metro Orange Line (LACMTA). This article is so small that I imagine there would be no loss of important content and so a merge is as good as a keep, really. Soap Talk/Contributions 21:25, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
