The result was delete. There appears to be POV problems on both side of the debate from what I can see, as well as possible sockpuppetry on both sides; however the consensus appears to be to delete the article, as a subject which does not meet notability/NPOV criteria -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 02:12, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per nom. The article's tone and recent comments on the talk page betray a non-NPOV issue to the article as well. Imzadi 1979 → 21:52, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete I have to agree that the article needs to be almost completely rewritten. Completely non-encyclopedic tone and full of POV, original research and unreferenced commentary. --

- Keep. It looks like there is an official "system": http://www.sccgov.org/rda/expressways2/default.htm http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asccgov.org+expressway+system But even if not, renaming to Expressways in Santa Clara County, California should take care of scope issues. --NE2 22:10, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- But then why does Santa Clara get its own article for its expressways while the other counties don't? --Rschen7754 05:30, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It appears these roads have some importance to the county's infrastructure that can warrant a brief mention in the main county article. Another option would be to redirect to California County Routes in zone G as all these expressways are county routes in that zone. Dough4872 04:15, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep There is an official "Expressway System". The phrase is not only used repeatedly in the master plan of the County (see reference 1) but this entity was also created and used in State law (see last two references). There is related history among this group of roads. There may have been a misunderstanding about POV that I already corrected (see "Tone" near bottom of Discussion). --AkosSzoboszlay (talk) 23:33, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this article. I think the site needed context development. That appears to have occurred. As City of San Jose is seeking to make all its streets and roads more "complete" it was important to see some of the history that allowed peds and bikes to begin using the expressway facilities. Perhaps a few balancing edits will help the article appear more in the tone of encyclopedic. After reading the current article, I do not find any part offensive, misleading or subjective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trafengr56 (talk • contribs) 05:23, 10 December 2010 (UTC) This is the user's first edit. --Rschen7754 05:29, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, with much regret. Although I contributed most of the original text and photographs to this article, I am saddened to see that it has been taken over by WP:NOT. I also request that any available administrator initiate a CheckUser investigation against each of the new users who voted on this page to determine if they are sockpuppets of User:AkosSzoboszlay. --Coolcaesar (talk) 02:49, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
