The subsections "Borman Expressway" and "Gary to Michigan City" are not required, but on Interstate 90 in Illinois they are used to make the exit list more legible and easier to comprehend. — Rob ( talk) 18:27, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I would like to propose merging Borman Expressway into this article. All of the expressway is part of I-94, so it doesn't make any sense here to have three articles (US 6 covers most of the Borman also) to cover the same stretch of road. The Borman Expressway article is currently a GA, but probably would not pass a GAR with the small route description section.-- Detcin ( talk) 19:18, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not a newspaper. These sorts of crashes happen every year or so along I-94 between Chicago and Kalamazoo. The freeway is heavily with Chicago–Detroit traffic, the Interstate is fairly close to Lake Michigan so it gets white-out conditions caused by lake-effect snow, and yet there is no lasting impact related to these individual accidents.
That is not to say that this event is not tragic. However, our policies on article content require that information be placed into context. In a couple of days when this accident falls out of the national news, it will be undue weight. There is no other historical content about the development of I-94 in the state of Indiana. A single accident, when there have been several in the decades since I-94 was built, and there will be many more in the future. Unless this accident prompts design changes, it's not notable.

Let's assume there's a pattern of these crashes. We would need a source that discusses the fact there is a pattern to them. In that case, we have a very valid topic for inclusion in the article. We shouldn't fashion this pattern out of individual sources on separate accidents if none of those sources discuss the others.
Otherwise, we need some historical significance, to the roadway, to include individual crashes. Are the powers that be looking to change the layout of I-94 because of this recent crash? Was someone famous killed in it? Is signage going to be changed as a result of the crash? Are any changes coming to motor vehicle laws as a result of this crash? If none of these questions have a yes answer, there is no historical significance, and the event can be dropped. International news coverage that lasted a day or so is not historical significance. In this day of the 24-hour news cycle and global news on the Internet, making the news in other countries on a single day doesn't evidence notability. Imzadi 1979 → 03:51, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

I've been trying to find a RS for the term "Cornfield Roadblock" which until just now I had only seen at the Michigan Highways website ( M-239 entry) and in related discussions. A search of the archive of a local newspaper from 1963 to 1971, the latter being the year that I-94 was opened into Michigan, turned up nothing, including in the article announcing the opening. A subsequent search including the archive of that newspaper's successor did turn up an article which used it; however, it's dated November 14, 2010, well after the Michigan Highways website had been put online, so it might be a case of WP:CIRCULAR (the 2010 article cites only the Michigan DOT but it sure does read like the I-94 entry at Michigan Highways, as does the main article from the same day which the other one supplements). Use the 2010 article as a RS or delete the term? N.B. Older versions of the I-94 entry at Michigan Highways also used the term ( example) but the current extensively-rewritten one does not.
