Redirect undone
editI undid the redirect as it was done without discussion and am happy to talk about it if desired. Markvs88 (talk) 03:55, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- And again. Crossposted. Markvs88 (talk) 11:37, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- The subject highway designation fails to pass notability tests on its own as a topic separate from the existing bridge article; secondary state highway designations are not typically considered notable on their own. I'd strongly suggest improving that article first, and if it should ever be too large of an article, then we could look at splitting the topics apart into separate articles.

- I *am* improving the article. If you or anyone wants to start a conversation re: merging, fine, but this constant redirection is a distraction. Markvs88 (talk) 15:38, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- So far what I'm seeing is a good improvement for the bridge article. If we're going to have separate articles for the bridge and the highway designation, the highway really needs to be independently notable from the bridge. I just don't think that's the case here. –Fredddie™ 13:22, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you Fredddie, I appreciate that. However, my larger point is that the redirection aficionados are doing the 'pedia no favors and need to follow normal merge process instead of mindlessly losing information to the void. I really don't know if this article can stand on it's own merits. I don't think anyone knows that yet.Markvs88 (talk) 13:45, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
