Keep. It's an important and notable command. It's mentioned in both external links of routing table (Linux FAQ and Microsoft TechNet article).

The closest related article is routing table, but Ifconfig#Current_status mentions that it's being phased out, at least in Linux. It may become an historical topic at some point, an argument for keeping it separate from routing table. The article isn't well developed, but I can see it developing like touch (Unix) or ed (text editor).

Keep: we've already got some tens of similar definitions with some other commands. This page should stay a disambiguation page complement by summing up the function roles and history, and eventually point toward v:Routing_Protocols (to learn how it works) and b:Guide_to_Unix/Explanations/Real_Networking_Interfaces (to get many utilization examples).
