Merge Proposal and / or

The result of the request for the Proposed Merger of
Interstate 840 (North Carolina) into this talk page's article was: Not Done—No Consensus to Merge.
There was a discussion on this before we split up the article, and unfortunately, whoever did the moving and splitting or whatever lost the discussion, but the main points were

So why not have one article for the full loop, and redirect I-840 to it? -- SPUI ( T - C) 01:03, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
I agree with SPUI. Since Interstate 840 (North Carolina) is just a one-sentence stub, undeserving of its own article in its current state. Perhaps when the loop is completed there will be more to say, but for now I see no harm in redirecting Interstate 840 to here. -- NORTH talk 01:50, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Here's the discussion from the decision to split, it's from the I-840 dab page:
This is a difficult article. If it's going to be I-840, then perhaps we need to split and have a separate Greensboro Urban Loop article. Or we should make this a Greensboro Urban Loop article until 840/785 is furthur built. Any ideas? MPD01605 06:15, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Well, I-840 and the Greensboro Urban Loop will be the same road for both of their entire lengths...so we think. In the future, I-840 might be signed only along the north side of the loop as to prevent I-40, I-85, I-73, and I-840 from being signed along the same stretch of road and creating confusion. Of course, the only facts I have to support this possibility are that along the I-85 bypass, there are no I-840 signs yet. That doesn't really prove anything though. Right now, all the information we have for the Loop is the same that we have for I-840. There's nothing really different. I wouldn't make a seperate article until some differing information develops. -- TinMan 05:11, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Ok, well 2 articles it should be. The map I have has 840 around the whole thing, but I think I trust NCDOT more. It was probably one of those quick map jobs. -- TinMan 02:21, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Please do not modify it.
Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
A copy of this template can be found here.
Was removed because it points to a 404. I have been looking for a decent map forever from the NC DOT or any other source, since I live on the NW side of where the loop will be, but can't find anything. Google Earth shows a good idea of the southern sections that have not been completed. If I can find a good free map, or create one based on RELIABLE info, will upload.
Found a good map, unfortunately in PDF, but added to the external links.
I propose we merge Interstate 840 (North Carolina) into this article. There is nothing in any of the article's sections that is not also described on the Urban Loop article. There's precedent for this type of merge: Interstate 276 and Pennsylvania Route 581 both lack dedicated articles since their entire lengths and histories are part of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Capital Beltway (Harrisburg), respectively.

Per this source, the Greensboro Urban Loop (and likely I-840) will be fully open on January 23rd, 2023. DiscoA340 ( talk) 21:10, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
