Noida-Greater Noida Expressway

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

No notability reason given in the article. It's only a standard expressway in Delhi presumably. ▒ Wirεłεşş ▒ Fidεłitұ ▒ Ćłâşş ▒ Θnε ▒ ―Œ  ♣Łεâvε Ξ мεşşâgε♣ 19:21, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. There is a long tradition of regarding expressways as encyclopedic. There has been extensive media coverage of it (see the references in the article), so it passes the general notability guidelines. - Eastmain (talk) 20:36, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - a 15 mile expressway must be notable. Has anyone done any searches for sources?  I have found five good sources here. Bearian (talk) 01:08, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * P.S. The current sources are pretty good, too. Why was this nominated? Bearian (talk) 01:09, 26 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. This is put into context in National Expressway (India), no question that it's notable.  Article could be WP:BETTER with a map and a list of exits.  Edward Vielmetti (talk) 03:26, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The construction of this expressway has greatly enhanced the economic condition of the entire area, obvious from references, and is a prestigious project of the Govt.; notable enough to warrant an article! Thanks!--Ekabhishektalk 05:16, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The sources within the article and the Gnews/gbooks links in the nomination show that it passes WP:GNG. I fail to understand the rationale of "no notability reason given in the article". - Spaceman  Spiff  07:09, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I refer here to WikiProject_U.S._Roads/Notability as no comparative project exists for Indian roads. The link mentions that though interstate highways are generally notable, " If the article does not answer the question of why does this road exist, that is grounds for deletion of the article." The article says that the road was provided to relieve the National Highway - 2. However, the source provided does not confirm this at all. Other sources are good but they show only what happened 'after' the highway was constructed (In other words, Was the development around the expressway the reason for notability or the notability of the expressway the reason for development?). Therefore, if editors out here feel the current sources do provide an answer to the question on why the road exists, I would go with them. If they don't, then I retain my delete request. ▒ Wirεłεşş ▒ Fidεłitұ ▒ Ćłâşş ▒ Θnε ▒ ―Œ  ♣Łεâvε Ξ мεşşâgε♣ 19:13, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Articles for deletion/Common outcomes. Priyanath talk 00:30, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The link WikiProject_U.S._Roads/Notability would get priority over Articles for deletion/Common outcomes. Thanks ▒ Wirεłεşş ▒ Fidεłitұ ▒ Ćłâşş ▒ Θnε ▒ ―Œ  ♣Łεâvε Ξ мεşşâgε♣ 06:29, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Why? Did the Indian road system become part of the US road system? I must have missed that news piece.- Spaceman  Spiff  07:17, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Spaceman, If there is an Indian Roads/Notability guideline, kindly do mention it out here. It'll be more appropriate. ▒ Wirεłεşş ▒ Fidεłitұ ▒ Ćłâşş ▒ Θnε ▒ ―Œ  ♣Łεâvε Ξ мεşşâgε♣ 09:17, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:GNG. - Spaceman  Spiff  15:53, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Spaceman, that's a general notability guideline, nothing related specifically to Indian roads. WikiProject_U.S._Roads/Notability is the closest project we have on Wikipedia that talks about why articles on road, which may be generally notable, can be deleted.▒ Wirεłεşş ▒ Fidεłitұ ▒ Ćłâşş ▒ Θnε ▒ ―Œ  ♣Łεâvε Ξ мεşşâgε♣  04:14, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
