- Delete. If you search ocregister.com (the local newspaper) for "Alton Parkway" you can find quite a few hits, the first dozen or so of which are stories over a wide spread of years about an extension that was promised for years and opened on 2012. It's an important arterial for local traffic and planning purposes. But that doesn't make it notable for Wikipedia, and I don't know of any historical or landmark value that it serves; it's really just a road. One of many stubby, unsourced, and non-notable Wikipedia articles on roads in this area created repeatedly by the same user; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Red Hill Avenue for another. — David Eppstein ( talk) 02:17, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. Fails WP:GNG as "just another road" with no substantive discussion of it in reliable sources. -- Kinu t/ c 17:09, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Quick question though -- hypothetically, if this article gets deleted, and the original author creates it again, do we have to go through a 7-day [[WP:AFD}] a second time? How often can he keep doing this in theory before an admin or somebody says, "enough is enough"?

- After a full AfD returns a delete decision, if the article gets recreated again in substantially the same form, it can be speedily deleted without a discussion or waiting period via WP:CSD#G4. And if it is repeatedly recreated and deleted, an administrator can protect it so that it can't be created again without changing the protection. — David Eppstein ( talk) 23:51, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
