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)

:*So, no argument, you just want to have your vote counted?  Is this also a request to have a vote-counting admin to close this discussion without regard to strength of argument and applicable policy?  Unscintillating (talk) 14:08, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

• 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)
• 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. --doncram 14:51, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

• Keep, but blank the whole thing and translate :no:Veier i Oslo, I'll do it gladly. As it stands now the inclusion criteria is unknown or the streets are just randomly picked, G*d knows. It's not a list article, that one we have at List of streets in Oslo. — Sam Sailor 03:13, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
• Delete, and then let Sam Sailor create a new article as he suggests. There is no reason to preserve this history of this article by blanking it and maintaining the title. --MelanieN (talk) 01:14, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

• Delete as a list of non-notable streets, WP:NOTINHERETED applies. Ajf773 (talk) 06:27, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
• Keep - Mainly per {{noping|MelanieN}}'s rationale, but I would also agree that Sam Sailor translate the Norweigan article. For this to be done, the page should not be deleted . Class455 (talk|stand clear of the doors!) 19:40, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
• Delete I think the article overall fails WP:GEOROAD and WP:INDISCRIMINATE, but some of the streets could stand in their own articles. South Nashua (talk) 15:08, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
• Delete. Random WP:MILL roads, no indication why these in particular need coverage. If anybody wants to translate the Norwegian article, they can do so from scratch after deletion.  Sandstein  18:52, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
• Delete per Sandstein. If any of them were inherently notable, they would have their own article. Nördic Nightfury 09:47, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
