Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/B roads in the United Kingdom

For a prior related policy consensus discussion, see Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Roads and streets.

I'm getting a little fed up with VfD being clogged with B road articles, and feel that this would be better argued out in a consensus page.

As far as I see it, argument boils down to the following:

Keep - these are nationally designated roads, and the articles provide information on the British roading network. Some of these roads are notable other than by means of their designation, and all of them are worthy of articles. Wikipedia is not paper, we're not wasting pixels here.
Delete - they're just country roads. The information about them can be merged into the articles on the places they run through. Wikipedia is not an atlas.
Merge - there should, at the very least, be a list (or several lists) of the B road designations in the UK.
Keep the notable ones, delete the rest - some are notable, yes, but most are not. Why keep the dross? (This may or may not accompany a merge into lists)

I welcome anyone who has taken part in the individual VfDs to contribute their thoughts to this subject below. Grutness...wha? 02:01, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
