List of numbered roads in Kawartha Lakes, Ontario

 * Nominator(s):  ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  τ ¢  20:31, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because it is completed in its entirety. If the redlinks need to be removed for a successful nomination, I will take care of that.  ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  τ ¢  20:31, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - The types of road section has no references. Comments in the table also need references.— Chris!  c t 18:51, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Will add refs to the Types of Road section. Most of the comments are based on physical objects one can see driving down the road that label points. How would I go about referencing these real-life objects or distances? (It would be impossible to ever provide textual references outside of using a map and calculating) -  ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  τ ¢  20:33, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose/Suggest withdrawal There are too many fixes that need to be made before this list meets the current criteria. This page must have had at least Peer review before coming here.
 * How do you know that all roads together are 910.4 kilometres (565.7 mi)? I hope it's not WP:OR
 * By adding the lengths of the listed roads.


 * "The 49 numbered roadways..." Again, how do you know it's 49 and not 51 for example?
 * By examining the cities official map of numbered roads and counting.


 * What's "King's Highways"?
 * Got me on that one.


 * "167.1 kilometres (103.8 mi) of provincially maintained highway.." Where do you get that figure from?
 * Again, by adding the individual lengths which I can provide references for.


 * If Highway 46 is notable to have a separate page, then so do the other highways.
 * Seperate issues. Almost every other highway in Ontario does have an article.


 * This page states that Highway 46 is now known as Kawartha Lakes Road 46, yet the latter redirects to the Highway 46's page.
 * Highway 46 was a King's highway. It's notable enough to warrant its own article. Kawartha Lakes Road 46... not so much


 * Explain why the readers need to know that "Victoria County contained 3 secondary highways prior to 1998"
 * Because history is as important as the present.

My main suggestion is to go and ask for suggestions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Canada Roads and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Highways. -- Cheetah  (talk)  03:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry that I didn't go for peer review first, didn't know that was a prerequisite ("Before nominating a list, nominators may wish to receive feedback by listing it at Peer review."). I have addressed many of your points as they aren't original research, merely calculations on official figures. I will take this to peer review though. -  ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  τ ¢  05:41, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * A peer review is recommended, but not required. It's good practice to have editors who are not primary contributors to the article take a look beforehand. Often, they can spot things that are overlooked by the principle editor(s). If you do wish to submit this for peer review, this FLC should be withdrawn first.
