This is roadcruft on an astonishing, Borgesian scale. Remember that this is an encyclopedia, where facts are put into context and graded according to importance, WP:NOT a dumping ground for data, where every thing under the sun is left to rot. Pilatus 17:29, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Wikipedia is not a road atlas in prose. This information would be better served by a map than an article in this format. --Metropolitan90 17:50, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep these useful articles about interchanges on major highways.--Nicodemus75 18:23, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This isn't even prose. Wikipedia is not a road atlas, per nom. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 18:28, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Exit lists are as encyclopedic as lists of people who served in a war. FCYTravis 21:46, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lists of people who served in a war are not encyclopedic either. Unless a combatant is notable for something other than being a combatant, s/he won't get an article or appear on a list.

  • You can write a biography on people who served in war. There's nothing more that can be said about an interchange apart from the fact it connects 2 roads. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:12, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. As I said at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Interchanges on Ontario provincial highway 401, I think this is useful information, but I can't think of a way to present said information in a way that makes sense for Wikipedia, unfortunately, so I don't know how to vote on this one.

• Keep/merge per earlier AfD. - SimonP 01:34, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Quebec Autoroute 20. Denni☯ 02:49, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• A list of freeway interchanges is not something that merits its own article. Roads just are not that inherently interesting (and I'm speaking as a self-admitted map junkie here). An interchange list is reasonable enough in the highway's article, but it never deserves its own distinct article. It simply isn't an encyclopedic topic in its own right. Merge. Bearcat 04:12, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge. Useful information best kept in the main article so it's easier to find. We are talking about Canada's most important highway here (along with the 401 in Ontario). Luigizanasi 04:59, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete This is why maps were invented. Denni☯ 05:01, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, as per my comment(s) on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Interchanges on Ontario provincial highway 401 Andreww 06:54, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Lord, this is cruftier (is that a word?) than the Ontario highway list. --Calton | Talk 08:06, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge per my comments on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Interchanges on Ontario provincial highway 401 or failing that delete. Interchanges are just stretches of road connecting other roads with each other. Nothing more can be said about them and thus they don't deserve their own article in contrast with people on who you can actually write biographies. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:12, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --Stormie 12:32, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
