Utterly useless list of 13 roads in Oslo, bizarrely ranging from highways to small-time dead-ends. A result of a merger of a dozen individual road articles, most of which are in themselves not notable, the list is essentially untouched since 2009. No potential. In case you wondered, Oslo has hundreds of roads. Geschichte ( talk) 21:49, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Wrong venue  If the article contains alleged undue weight because it covers cul-de-sacs in preference to more-prominent roads, this is not an WP:UNDUE problem that is solved with deletion, this is simply the current consensus at this article for what should be covered.  This is an "editing opportunity", not a "deletion opportunity".  Besides obvious arguments from WP:ATA such as "no one is working on it" and "it is useless"; the dig on WP:ATD that the article is the result of a merge is not supported by WP:Deletion policy, as merge is accepted as part of deletion policy for non-notable topics.  The nomination fascinatingly contradicts itself when it first of all says that there is no article potential and then stipulates that there are hundreds of roads in Oslo.  Unscintillating ( talk) 14:08, 18 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. There may be editing issues. Major roads in any major city can be covered in an article, though, as there exists coverage about them of course. Having a list-article is a good thing, too, enabling us to redirect smaller articles about individual roads to the list-article. -- do ncr am 14:51, 18 February 2017 (UTC) reply
