Traffic count

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

Contested prod. Totally lacking in references, more like a definition for Wikitionary Jezhotwells (talk) 19:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC) I withdraw my nomination. I hope that between them the people voting keep can bring the artcile up to encyclopaedic status. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:40, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. The reasons given in the nomination sound more like reasons to expand and improve the article, rather than delete it.  Traffic count is an important concept in urban planning and traffic management - there's no reason not to have an encyclopedia article about it.  A Google scholar search shows that it is an area of academic study.  Gnome de plume (talk) 20:39, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with Gnome de plume. The topic is notable and should be tags for expansion and sources.  A suitable merge target can be discussed on the talk page, if that is necessary. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  20:46, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep annd tag as unreferenced and a stub. It might be merged with something like traffic management, but there is no reason to delete it outright.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - I'd rather not say keep, here, and am even iffy about Traffic counter which reads like many such pages, "a noun verber is any of a class of devices that verbs nouns." But there's nothing especially problematic about the topic so much as the coverage. -Miskaton (talk) 23:11, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Gnome de plume and LinguistAtLarge. This is a topic that is worthy of encyclopaedic coverage, and while the article is in need of expansion and improvement the issues are WP:SURMOUNTABLE. Thryduulf (talk) 00:10, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:OUTCOMES and WP:BEFORE - a notable concept that surely is verifiable with many good sources and studies. Bearian (talk) 00:50, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: Per Gdp. Joe Chill (talk) 01:22, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Probably the contents of the article on electronic traffic counters might be merged here to flesh this out; but if we have an article on the gadget, we surely are allowed an article on the planning the data it gathers is used in. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:13, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
