 * Extreme Strong Support. I agree with Smcafirst. All information are included, and looks decent to me. The shields enhanced my reading a bit, but more image would be better. --Stephy100--A person who loves music! 21:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Note another suspected sock - < 100 edits, mostly to userpage. First non-userpage edit is to say hello to the nominator of this FLC. Has < 10 mainspace edits. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No need to get carried away. "Support" is sufficient, though your enthusiasm is nice :-) Tom pw (talk)


 * support. Could not agree more than Stephy100. Mix Precipitation 21:27, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Note - Suspected sock. Only 4 edits. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose:
 * Needs a proper introduction (Featured list criterium 2a), which includes such details as where this particular York is (especially as York is the English city). It should also include contents of "Boundaries of York Region" in prose form. The exsisting text in the intro should not be bolded italic.
 * The material in the "Additional Notes/Traffic" column isn't referenced. (Featured list criterium 1c).
 * The list does not have large majority of blue links. (Featured list criterium 1a). You could argue that some of these roads aren't notable to have articles of their own, but you haven't. Also, some of them clearly are, so it's quite hard to see why some are and some aren't.
 * "&=Where the road loses its York Regional Road Identity." This means what exactly?
 * "This page is part of the York Region Road Construction Project. For details, click here." This should not be on the article; the place for wikiproject info is the talk page.
 * Reference needs to be properly formatted.
 * "Twin Articles" should be entitled "See also".

 * Oppose. Without wishing to quench your obvious enthusiasm for roads, I suspect this nomination will fail since there's too much to do to bring it up to standard. Spend some time investigating WP style guides and policies, particularly on Original Research. The "Additional Notes/Traffic" is almost pure OR. I don't know what your Road Atlas contains, but if you've gleaned the information from looking at a road map, then that probably counts as OR too. Personally, I think trying to list all roads in a region falls into the indiscriminate collection of information category. Wikipedia is not a road atlas. If every road and intersection was listed in detail, it would become tedious. Some things are better handled visually, and by other web sites. While some of these roads clearly are notable, many won't be. The linking is odd: Yonge Street is linked to York Regional Road 1 rather than Yonge Street. The latter is a far better article. Looks like your project needs to coordinate article naming. You may wish to consider Peer Review prior to any future nomination. Colin°Talk 19:56, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Support. I oppose the reasonings for the two users above. I think regional roads make a lot of contribution to the local developements of economics and other areas. I agree with Smcafirst. It does not matter that there are dead links, it just reminds people to start adding articles about those items. All regional roads that I could think of are there.
 * Note suspected sock - total 10 edits, and see userpage for an interesting revelation. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * There is nothing wrong with a list containing redlinks. However, to become a featured list, then the list must have a large majority of links ot exsisting articles (blue links). That is part of the Featured list criteria. Also, there are other objections (references, formatting, introduction) that need to be addressed. Tom pw (talk) 00:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Total oppose - The notes section is original analysis/commentary. Lead is too short and choppy sentences in the lead. Too many redlinks. Please use inline citations. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * References, footnotes? Appropriate pictures? Oppose for now. Daniel.Bryant 06:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
