Thailand Route 1095

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Is it necessary to have encyclopaedic entries about roads? How does it provide more information about the topic when the topic is clearly not notable. Neither the references show any significance. I propose speedy delete under A7. Emir Shane (talk) 16:09, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: Hi, Emir Shane. This appears to be your first time nominating an article for AfD. You've probably already looked at the guides linked in the box to the right, but if not, please consider doing so. Please also see the guidance under WP:BEFORE at the main AfD page if you haven't already. I'd like to point especially to item C2, "If the article was recently created, please consider allowing the contributors more time to develop the article", as nominating an article for AfD ten minutes after its creation is usually seen as rather hasty. In any case, if you wanted to propose speedy deletion, the way to do so would have been to add the speedy deletion template &#123;&#123;db-a7&#125;&#125; directly to the page, and wait to see if an admin agrees that the criterion applies. Since you've already started a full AfD, I'd recommend letting the discussion run its course. Your main argument seems to be that the subject lacks notability ("the topic is clearly not notable"). However, you haven't demonstrated why this would indeed be the case. A brief Google search reveals that the road is the subject of coverage in several travel and news websites. Discussion should probably focus on whether or not they constitute reliable sources. --Paul_012 (talk) 16:26, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep Per WP:GEOROAD, it is written in notability guidelines that all national highways get articles. Jumpytoo Talk 17:23, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep "Route 1095" is mentioned in almost any tourist book about the area, and features in many non-fiction writing, I've added a few in. It it notable not just because it is a highway, but because it is a unique highway with the exceptionally high number of hair pin bends. It features extensively in English language literature because it's a common route taken by tourists. I know this sounds like original research, but I've added in sources to back this up and if you search "Route 1095" in Google books you'll find many sources. The recent name change does match Wikipedia norms, but not how this unique route is usually written about in English language media. CT55555 (talk) 17:45, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per Paul_012. --Lerdsuwa (talk) 15:56, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
