Ring Roads in Singapore

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Declined Prod. Prod Reason was "Unreferenced and Uncited Article of non-encyclopedic nature". Objection was "has general references so PROD rationale is faulty". This is a WP:POINTY decline as the only external links are to top level landing pages of map sites. Hasteur (talk) 23:23, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. While it took me a couple minutes to find one of the streets on the list, there seems to be precedence for including streets in Singapore (Category:Roads in Singapore has far more articles than I expected).  In the US, it's standard practice to merge together similar road articles that probably wouldn't be notable on their own into lists.  I see this as being no different.  Now we just need to work to improve the parts of the list. –Fredddie™ 23:39, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose as this article can be improved by turning general references into specific ones with some general editing and expansion. Deletion isn't the cure here.  Imzadi 1979  →   23:49, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:SOFIXIT. Article has had plenty of time to be improved prior to my coming across it in it's sub-stub format with no way to demonstrate it's notability. Hasteur (talk) 23:57, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * A month is plenty of time? WP:NORUSH. –Fredddie™ 01:09, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Question How is this less article-worthy than the Allegheny County belt system? Both articles cover what seem to be substantial transportation networks (having used the Allegheny County system, I know that it's important), and given the nature of Singapore compared to the nature of metro Pittsburgh, I strongly suspect that the Singaporean system is a better article candidate than the Allegheny County system.

 * Keep, expand and reference. Clearly encyclopedic. A quick  Wikipedia search  for 'Singapore roads' returns dozens of articles on streets in  the city-state. (Note: This is not  an 'other stuff' rationale). Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:09, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per Kudpung. -- Joaquin008  ( talk ) 17:06, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Nominator's Note: Since the community has a fascination with this I am withdrawing the nomination but expect those claiming "It can be improved" to follow through with their rationales. I'll go ahead and tag up the page as appropriate, but sincerely doubt there is scholarly work about Ring Roads in Singapore to justify it's inclusion. Hasteur (talk) 20:52, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Convert to category and/or delete. No evidence or reference that the ring roads of Singapore are notable. It may be that some individual ring roads in Singapore are notable; if they are, they should be in a category. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:09, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
