WHY does this exist‽ The entirety of SR 367 is now involved in SR 708. There is no reason this should exist, because the SR 367 piece can be handled in the OH 708 article. This article should be pulled from GAN and removed. Mitch32^{(Wikipedia's worst Reform Luddite.)} 20:32, 10 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Support—That makes it analogous to the M-92 vs. M-52 situation. In 1962, M-52 was extended and replaced the M-92 designation. Since all of M-92's history applies to M-52 now, the two were merged to reduce redundancy. Another analog is M-554 vs. M-553. M-553 replaced CR 553, but a short piece wasn't used for the state highway. For about 7 years, that piece was given the M-554 designation. Again, all of the history is related, so there is one article that encompasses both. Imzadi 1979 → 20:37, 10 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Support. It just makes sense to merge and move on. –Fredddie ™ 22:08, 10 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
Support — SR 367 is entirely a subset of SR 708. Merge the SR 367 article into the SR 708 article. Close the GAN. Redundancy is only desirable for former highways that are notable; a 0.7-mile (1.1 km) highway that was decommissioned 75 years ago does not qualify as notable.

Support - Since all of SR 367 is now SR 708, it makes no sense to have two articles. Dough 48 72 03:46, 11 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
Support - This route as it stands isn't notable. It would make a good addition to a possible future GA nomination of SR 708, though. T C N7JM 04:00, 11 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
