I'm lumping these two articles together, as they are both indiscriminate lists of local roads, many with no significance. Both articles are very poorly sourced and make no attempt to ascribe the notability of the roads chosen for inclusion in the list. Standard practise for Ontario roads is a list for upper tier municipalities, i.e. List of numbered roads in York Region. Markham and Vaughan seem to have spilled through the cracks, as they are the only lower-tier municipalities in Ontario (of 241) to have a list of roads.

Now, I'd just redirect these to the article I just linked... but they are unlikely search terms, and I'd rather that bit of salt to discourage re-creation in the form of an AfD. -- Floydian ^τ _¢ 21:30, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds reasonable. Ontario's local government system is weird enough already, best to trim out inconsistencies. Awmcphee (talk) 22:19, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:MILL, WP:50k, and WP:GNG. Let's move on. Bearian (talk) 18:34, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. These were both created by an editor who used to try to create articles about every individual road in Markham and Vaughan, all the way down to residential cul-de-sacs with no discernible notability claims but existing and no locatable reliable sourcing but maps. A list at the regional municipality level already exists, and is all that's needed. Bearcat (talk) 00:02, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
