Ring road (Cairo)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is a silly content fork from Ring Road (Cairo) by an editor who didn't like the fact that many sources refer to the ring road with lower case; he won the RM and then made a new article for the lower-case version. - Dicklyon (talk) 02:59, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete A10 as a duplicate, then? - The Bushranger One ping only 05:27, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * (I am that editor) Errr, there was a discussion here. Basically, the lower-case topic has very few sources and should have been completely removed, but I proposed to make a separate stub as a compromise. Only because it would be less confusing for readers to have a separate article. --Enric Naval (talk) 08:22, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The general concept of and plans for ring roads around Cairo is notable and distinct from the capitalised Ring Road which is a particular highway. For example, see this source which discusses three different Cairo ring roads.  Warden (talk) 09:35, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as unacceptable content fork. Warden is correct that the topic of uncapitalized ring roads may be notable, but this article is specifically about one road that encompasses the capitalized one. No prejudice against an article about the former topic (though the name would likely be something along the lines of Ring roads of Cairo. Bongo  matic  01:58, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 *  Keep and then Merge - into Ring Road (Cairo). Northamerica1000 (talk) 23:57, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I think that means delete. If we delete, it will be easy to re-merge by reverting the removal of content forked from Ring Road (Cairo). Dicklyon (talk) 15:16, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Almost all the information is already present in the other article. If else, it needs to be rearranged to give more prominence to the idea that Ring Road is part of a ring road around Cairo. --Enric Naval (talk) 16:42, 15 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete in favour of Ring Road (Cairo) which is the name of this topic. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:10, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
