The result was Keep. Merging, (if warranted), is a non-AfD decision better warranted to talkpages of articles/relevant Wikiprojects. Keeper  |   76   |   Disclaimer  18:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Saint Jacob Bridge

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Most probably a non-notable bridge in Ljubljana. Eleassar my talk 13:32, 25 March 2008 (UTC) Keep - all these stub articles were only created 4 days ago. It's a bit premature to decide they'll never be improved. - Denimadept (talk) 16:45, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. References almost certainly exist, since newspapers would have reported on the discussions at the city council or national parliament level which led up to the approval of the design and construction of this briodge. There may also be articles about this bridge in civil engineering journals. http://www.ljubljana-tourism.si/en/ljubljana_az/29931/podrobno.html is an official City of Ljubljana page which describes the bridge. --Eastmain (talk) 16:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * To expand on what I think is going on here, we need more information about each of these bridges in their articles. WHAT are these bridges?
 * How long are they
 * What sort of construction are they?
 * arch
 * suspension
 * cantilever
 * whatever
 * When where they built?
 * Who built them?
 * Why were they built?
 * What precedes them (any previous bridges on that site? Maybe a ferry?)
 * What context are they in? Any history?  Battles or other events?
 * What kind of effort went into them?
 * Provide a picture! Or several!
 * What are their coordinates (though I like to do that one! :-D)?
 * What makes them worth an article?
 * It's not their location that's a problem; see Nový Most for a good example in the same area, and the Danube River bridges are currently the subjects of a list in progress. The more you can put into an article, the more references, the more data in general, the less susceptible to an AfD the article is. - Denimadept (talk) 17:04, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Comment. The fundamental question is: what makes this bridge worth an article? I'm from Ljubljana, know it well, and I think nothing makes it. --Eleassar my talk 12:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * constructed to technically innovative designs sounds promising. Honestly, this bridge is not a part of sightseeing trips usually. Put some good references and a photo and it can be passable. --Tone 16:08, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Simply put, fails reliable sources, notability and verifiable.  The onus is on the article to meet guidelines and not for editors to expect that it meets the guidelines.  02:18, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep for now, but tag for notability. All these bridge articles should be considered for merging or deletion in (say) a month.  Nominating for AFD stubs that may be expanded into good articles is a bad practice, and liable to discourage new editors.  This applies to all the nominated Bridge articlesPeterkingiron (talk) 00:44, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Damn straight. - Denimadept (talk) 03:10, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
