Is intended to be a page listing various lists of roads. However, only one of the lists on here actually exists. I don't see a good reason for this to exist if it's only listing one actual list. Hog Farm (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. WP:UNNECESSARY isn't sufficient reason to delete. One advantage of lists over categories is that they can have WP:REDLINKS. pburka (talk) 14:51, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- It's a list of lists and there's only one entry that's not a redlink. Hog Farm (talk) 15:04, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Are the redlinked topics not notable? Is the list indiscriminate? pburka (talk) 15:38, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this and List of roads in Nanshan, Shenzhen. A list of notable major roads makes sense, some attempt to list all "streets, roads, avenues, boulevards and expressways" does not. Yes, this is indiscriminate. Reywas92^Talk 19:48, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- That problem can easily be fixed through editing by clarifying the inclusion criteria in the relevant lists. pburka (talk) 19:58, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of roads in Nanshan, Shenzhen seems to be a notable list, and most their entries have their own standalone article, so I don't see the reason beind deleting that. Mopswade (talk) 09:38, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A list is not a list if there is only one blue-linked entry, and even that may not be notable on its own. Ajf773 (talk) 20:26, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Would be a valid navigational list if it navigated between anything. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 03:10, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
