Mitcham Bridge

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not appear to meet WP:GNG. There are thousands or tens of thousands of small bridges in the world (WP:ROTM). It's not even clear that this is actually named the Mitcham Bridge - it may just be a bridge in Mitcham. The only refs are two routine local stories about flooding that occurred when the bridge was being repaired. Much of the article has no citations. Not enough here to establish notability.

 * Selective merge to A217 road which is the name of the street on which the bridge crosses (as a viable alternative to deletion). The material supported by local sources can be included in this article as part of the relevant sections on the local area. Bookscale (talk) 11:47, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge per above. Not notable enough to warrant a stand alone article. Nightfury 12:26, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge to A217 road per Bookscale. The problems I am seeing are: The bridge was virtually unknown before it collapsed, with the collapse itself not generating much coverage either; nom makes a valid point about the article name, so that even if kept, we have this source giving it as Mitcham Bridge, but others are calling it Bishopsford Bridge, Bishopsford Road Bridge, Bishopsford Road/London Road bridge, and even just the bridge, which means that establishing the correct name would be a chore.

 * Merge to A217 road per above. Barring any evidence that the bridge itself is notable, i.e., sourcing exists that it was of historic importance prior to its collapse, it can be briefly discussed at that article. -- Kinu t</i>/<i style="color:red">c</i> 16:24, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
