:Interstate 755 (Mississippi) → {{no redirect|Interstate 755}} – This highway is Interstate 755; the Missouri highway is not. Georgia guy (talk) 00:00, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Oppose—the target should be a dab page, and this should be merged with Airport Parkway (Mississippi), an existing article on the same topic instead. Imzadi 1979 → 00:07, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Oppose the Missouri article clearly has a section about an Interstate. -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 04:13, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
...that has been cancelled. Georgia guy (talk) 14:35, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Cancelled roads can be notable. As it is, this Mississippi road project was "suspended" in 2009, and I found very little, let alone anything that suggested that the project had been resurrected. See the list of sources I'll be pasting in a section below in my next edit, {{u|Georgia guy}}. Imzadi 1979 → 22:42, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
:Do many people know the highway as if it had actually been constructed?? Georgia guy (talk) 22:49, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Oppose: No evidence of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC; indeed, both of them appear not to be separately notable: Both {{no redirect|Interstate 755 (Mississippi)}} (a subtopic of Airport Parkway (Mississippi)) and {{no redirect|Interstate 755 (Missouri)}} (a subtopic of Missouri Route 755) appear to be other roads' proposed (not official) Interstate designations that haven't happened. --Closeapple (talk) 09:42, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Oppose per Imzadi1979. –Fredddie ™ 23:43, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

This is a moot point now. This article has been deleted and the redirect to Missouri Route 755 has been restored. –Fredddie ™ 21:28, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Based on these sources, this article isn't a distinct topic from Airport Parkway (Mississippi), and the two should be merged and expanded in one place. Imzadi 1979 → 22:51, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
