Morse Street Bridge

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Bridge appears to fail the GNG. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 22:17, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable bridge.  Dough 48  72  23:07, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge to Kansas River in a section on "crossings", unless sources are found (many rivers already have such lists of the crossings). --Colapeninsula (talk) 23:28, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep We've gone through this before. See Articles for deletion/K-99 Wamego Bridge for an example of a previous AFD.  Bridge articles on highways normally end up being kept as stubs simply because they eventually are proven to pass the general notability guideline through offline sources, which takes more time.  Further, it seems to me that the nominator is going for a bulk deletion -- see Articles for deletion/North Kansas Avenue Bridge, Articles for deletion/Lecompton Road Bridge, Articles for deletion/K-99 Wamego Bridge (2nd nomination) (a second nomination of an AFD already closed as "keep"), Articles for deletion/K-32 Turner Bridge, Articles for deletion/Morse Street Bridge, Articles for deletion/222nd Street Bridge, Articles for deletion/Maple Hill Bridge, Articles for deletion/Paxico Road Bridge, Articles for deletion/Highway 2 Bridge.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:04, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Unreferenced article about a random 2 lane highway bridge, which does not enjoy inherent notability. If refs exist to satisfy WP:N then identify them. Edison (talk) 04:13, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable bridge; no valuable information. – TC N7  JM  10:53, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep per my comment at Articles for deletion/222nd Street Bridge.--Milowent • hasspoken 20:13, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment In that AFD you did not provide an argument as to how that bridge satisfied the notability guideline. Edison (talk) 15:29, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Indeed I did not. I provided a comment about how easy it is to nominate a shitload of articles simply claiming it "appears" to not be notable.  I then proceeded to prove the bridge at that article is very well likely notable.--Milowent • hasspoken  21:35, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * That statement contradicts itself. Either you proved its notability or you didn't. – TC N7  JM  21:43, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I improved that article to show notability, editors will review the changes if they want.--Milowent • hasspoken 21:57, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I still fail to see notability. The mere fact that a bridge has references to prove when it was built and how much it cost to build it doesn't prove notability. Others may disagree. – TC N7  JM  22:03, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Scratch that. I misinterpreted WP:N for a second. I guess the references are okay. – TC N7  JM  22:05, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Either way, my vote on that article still remains a delete. It really isn't noteworthy. – TC N7  JM  22:08, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you can go to the state library in Topeka and find more sources, as my brief foray unearthed so many sources on the Eudora Bridge I was quite surprised.--Milowent • hasspoken 22:14, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment: As to this bridge, it seems the proper name is the Sardou Bridge, the current span dating to 1961.  See, named after Sardou family .  The first Sardou bridge dates back to 1899, was destroyed in 1903, rebuilt and destroyed again in the great 1951 flood..  At the 1961 dedication, Charles Sardou's great-grandson George Robert cut the ribbon..  Surely this content belongs somewhere.--Milowent • hasspoken  22:14, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sources discovered by Milowent above, which (barley, but that's enough) demonstrate notability for this crossing of a significant waterway. - The Bushranger One ping only 03:55, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  MBisanz  talk 01:26, 7 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep Milowent's sources are enough to indicate notability here. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 22:09, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
