The result was merge to Interstate 84 in Connecticut. Rather than fully merge the article, it has been redirected, a history merge is achievable, however, if warranted. (non-admin closure) Nordic Nightfury 12:00, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

After careful consideration, I believe this article is not necessary. This article is effectively a fork of the history sections of Interstate 84 in Connecticut and U.S. Route 6 in Rhode Island. Those two articles are incomplete currently and the information contained in this article would, with a little work, improve both the I-84 and US 6 articles. –Fredddie ™ 03:23, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep, per WP:SKCRIT #1, this is a request for merger, not deletion. Deletion of the article would make the stated aims of the nomination (improvement of the I-84 and US 6 articles) very difficult, as the information to be merged would no longer be available to non-admins.

Merge to Interstate 84 in Connecticut or Interstate 384; speedy keep rationale WP:SKCRIT #1 doesn't apply as the nomination does "advance an argument for deletion or redirection" (emphasis added), and a merger is a form of redirection. Imzadi 1979 → 13:29, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Literally the next words of SKCRIT #1 apply directly to this nomination - the full quote, though it's of course too late to do much now: The nominator withdraws the nomination or fails to advance an argument for deletion or redirection—perhaps only proposing an alternative action such as moving or merging (emphasis added). I still don't see the point of bringing this to AFD, no-one will vote delete because there is no deletion rationale provided (or intended), so now everyone gets to vote "merge" (or maybe, "don't merge") and wouldn't it have just been quicker to start a WP:MERGE discussion at the article? Ah well, no harm done, but I still feel this was absolutely eligible for speedy keep and putting it through AFD is a waste of time. Antepenultimate (talk) 00:55, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Interstate 84 in Connecticut. The history of the former planned routing of I-84 from Hartford to Providence can easily be covered in the history section of this article. Dough4872 15:10, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral, as the creator of the article and most of the content, I just clarify if moved, it may end up scrapping the {{jctint}} table that will have to go most likely in the article to make any sense, but it would look heavily out of place.—JJBers|talk 17:12, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
