Side of the road (traffic)
Delete. This article is a duplicate of Rules of the road, from where large sections were copied on 11 February 2006. The user who created this duplicate article did not follow the procedure for moving/renaming an article at Merging_and_moving_pages. Many subsequent edits of this duplicate article by the same user have since already been included in Rules of the road. NFH 13:51, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment. I wasn't moving/renaming the whole article, I was splitting Rules of the road into the actualy rules of the road and the part about driving on the L/R. —Last Avenue [ talk | contributions ] 22:28, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed, but over 90% of the existing article is about the left/right issue, so the history of that 90% must stay with the article. Therefore you can't just cut and paste 90% of the content to a new article and leave 10% with the history of the other 90%. That's against the guidelines at Merging_and_moving_pages, where it says "Do not move or rename a page by copying/pasting its content, because doing so destroys the edit history".

 * Comment I don't know if this page should have been put up for AfD. I'm just fixing up the articles now per Talk:Rules of the road: moving that page, redirecting some stuff, moving some bits around. I was going to just redirect this page to that page but now that it's in AfD maybe I shouldn't. It can be deleted if its history is a problem, but I think everyone will be satisfied if it's just redirected. Ewlyahoocom 07:45, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: the original article Rules of the road was way too long, leaf page would help. This voting should be postponed for say two weeks. Pavel Vozenilek 22:07, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
