The result was keep. per SNOW. It's a good article, already at FAC. Consensus is it's sufficiently sourced and notable. If the nominator doesn't like it, s/he is welcome to edit it to improve it. StarM 13:10, 29 January 2009 (UTC) reply
Ignore the fact that this page is well-written and prepared because you need to read WP:PRETTY before going on to the rest of my reasons as that is not a valid reason to keep something around.
This DEFUNCT ROUTE FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS linked up NY 17 with a town of a MERE 38 residents! More people knew my late grandfather than most likely knew about NY 382. And if I wrote a page pertaining to my grandfather it would be shot down, even though his funeral was attended by 1,528 people. I would say this route clearly fails WP:Notability too. It's former sister-route, Allegany State Park Route 2, which still exists and is longer has reduced to a simple sentence or two within Allegany State Park. Now you're going to look at the page and see 18 sources and say, sure, this page is notable. Well, I urge you too look at them closely and see that they don't directly pertain to the article in question. Most are tour guide maps of the area. My street can be found on a map, but is it notable? NO! Other sources are postcards and photos of the town that held the route. I can get a postcard of my town with my street in the picture. Does that make my street notable? NO AGAIN!
And every single thing in this world can be technically deemed as notable to someone, but where do we draw the line. I think the notability line has been compromised way too much and needs to be fixed. This article somehow has made it to "Good Article" status and is being discussed for Feature Status. I'm for this page getting the heave-ho, but at the very least it should be reduced to a sentence or two like its living Allegany friend.
Please read this on minor state routes. This page may barely qualify to be on a list of minor routes in New York. You may read the page and see alot of history. But almost all of it is about the town of Red Point, about the state park and about postcards! Wikipedia is not a place to write a paragraph describing a postcard as seen in the article! There is a lot of writing on this page and I'd say maybe five words actually pertain to the route itself. GroundhogTheater ( talk) 09:05, 29 January 2009 (UTC) reply
