Local roadway fails WP:GNG, WP:GEOROAD. One source fails verification, one source is primary (WP:GOOGLEMAPS), and the last does not show evidence of WP:SIGCOV. Sources found during a WP:BEFORE search are WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS mentioning the road in the context of news coverage of events that happened to take place on or near it but not focusing on the road itself. (This had been a stable redirect for years until an editor recently began restoring and adding unsourced content without responding to discussion; and I propose this AfD as a basis to restore a stable redirect to List of numbered roads in York Region.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 00:08, 21 July 2024 (UTC) It was hard to find WP:SIGCOV amid all the trivial mentions of this road, but thanks to Oaktree b, whose sources clear the bar. Nomination withdrawn; speedy keep. Dclemens1971 (talk) 23:35, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to List of numbered roads in York Region: per nom. Fails NROAD/GNG. All coverage is either trivial, focusing on something else, or run-of-the-mill updates and the like. C F A 💬 00:22, 21 July 2024 (UTC) [reply]

Weak keep per Oaktree b's sources. There's enough coverage. C F A 💬 21:27, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Major road through the region where I live; it pops up in news reports every time there's an accident or something happens on it... I found this [1], this [2] or this [3]. Oaktree b (talk) 15:23, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - A very major road, over 40 kilometres, that runs through multiple towns. Also meets GNG as noted above. Even if this not kept, I don't know why it wouldn't be a redirect or merge to Lex MacKenzie. Nfitz (talk) 19:53, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Major regional road numbered as such. Nate • (chatter) 21:23, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
