State Route 1002 (Lehigh County, Pennsylvania)
Redundant article, needs to be deleted. The article is about a non-notable road in some city in Pennsylvania. The route is not even a notable state highway and there's no proaf or shields to prove this exist. Don't block me for this, because I know this needs to go. -- Lingosheet090 20:51, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep bad faith nom. Article is indeed notable. --  JA 10  T · C 20:53, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Please, please, please always assume good faith. That being said, it is a former alignment of a U.S. Highway, and the lengthy, well-referenced history section proves it's notability, as well as its existence. -- NORTH talk 21:00, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Per NORTH, you're not assuming good faith, you should be blocked for this. --  JA 10  T · C 21:03, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ummm... I was referring to you, JA10, when you called it a bad faith nom. -- NORTH talk 21:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. The route is in Allentown, Pennsylvania, the state's third-largest city in population (not just "some city"), the article is well-written, substantial, and well-cited. There is proof that the route exists (Lehigh County map on the article's page).  It's also a former U.S. Route.  I don't see how it's redundant, though.  -- M PD T / C 21:06, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed, I meant to mention the "redundant" thing in my comment as well. That one didn't make sense to me. -- NORTH talk 21:08, 2 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep per above. --myselfalso 21:07, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. --Feedloadr 21:11, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Though technically, it is an unsigned highway, it is on the PennDOT roster and most likely has quadrant route markers to prove its existence. —Scott5114↗ 21:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per above. --Bossi ( talk ;; contribs ) 21:25, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete many streets in a city, I don't see articles on them this is just a street. Its just a local unsigned two lane road. -- 209.244.30.231 21:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed, its just a street. -- Lingosheet090 21:29, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure if they are, but this one is an obvious sockpuppet; it even put the AFD tag on the article. I'm striking out its vote. --NE2 22:03, 2 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep; the article needs a bit of work (I just failed its Good article nomination) but is definitely one of the relatively rare notable secondary routes. A search in Google Books reveals that it has eight diners, almost one per mile; this gives another measure of historic importance as one of the main streets of Allentown, the third-largest metropolitan area in Pennsylvania. I wonder if Tilghman Street would be a better name though. I also note that the nominator has only edited this AFD; I remember JohnnyAlbert10 having issues with "trolls" in the past; could it be the same person? There are also some interesting edits by, who has edits related to JohnnyAlbert10 for months in the past. --NE2 21:41, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Main thoroughfare of a major city. Even if it weren't state maintained, it has sufficient history and local importance to deserve an article. However, I am also leaning towards moving this to Tilghman Street per NE2. --Polaron | Talk 21:45, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 22:01, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
