Hello Vcap36,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged County roads in Anoka County, Minnesota for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Salimfadhley ( talk) 04:42, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Nomination of County roads in Anoka County, Minnesota for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article County roads in Anoka County, Minnesota is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/County roads in Anoka County, Minnesota until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Salimfadhley ( talk) 03:21, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
I removed your picture of the I-94/I-694 concurrency because it doesn't show the road. When you're taking a picture that you think should go into a road's article, remember that the road is the subject of the article and should be the subject of the picture as well. Your photos that I've seen don't show me what the road is like; only what the signs look like. That being said, I like to include the highway shield in my photos where possible so it's easier to identify the road. ( Example) I freely admit that that picture is not my best work, but you can clearly see the road and the character of the terrain.
Also, and I understand that this may not be possible, but do try to take some pictures from outside the car. It's easy to spot photos that have been taken from a car: the colors are off, there are dashboard reflections; they're usually not good photos.
Anyway, don't be discouraged. I love the Twin Cities, and think it's great that we now have an editor who lives there. If you have any questions, you can ask me (just reply here or start a new post on my talk page) or all of USRD at WT:USRD. – Fredddie ™ 04:28, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice! Vcap36 ( talk) 16:48, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
Regarding this, I would strongly urge against starting an article about County 14. I would read the recommendations at WP:USRD/NT. TL;DR: county roads should stay in lists unless they're really, really important. – Fredddie ™ 22:45, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
Yeah, I was just thinking about how Minnesota State Highway 242 used to be County Road 14. However, MN-242 does already have its own article, so there's already enough info anyway. It would be very similar. Vcap36 ( talk) 22:49, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
I had read the notabillity reccomendations, I just didn't notice the "primary" part about state highways. Vcap36 ( talk) 22:52, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
Oh wait, I'm not sure if MN-242 is primary or not. Vcap36 ( talk) 22:58, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- All state highways in Minnesota are (or were in MN 242's case) primary. – Fredddie ™ 23:05, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
Oh, okay. Vcap36 ( talk) 23:05, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
