[edit] Disambiguation Pages
It seems that the disambiguation pages for 4 digit highways (particularly FM roads) get speedily deleted with no discussion (or history). Shall we keep that as one of the goals of the FM/RM/UR project? I say no. Let's just hope that Kentucky (among others, I'm sure) highway buffs don't become more prolific...

- Did you ask the admin that deleted them why? Also, I don't know what you are mean by keeping that as one of our goals, I don't see where we say that is a goal. Also, a disambiguation page shouldn't have just one article listed, just put a redirect instead if it is the only highway. --Holderca1 20:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pretty much done...
The main Texas state highways have articles now. There are only about 30 or so that either have no designation, or I can't figure out where/if they existed:
SH 140 - near Tyler, 1930's - don't know where it went or where it is now. Maybe Tyler airport road.
SH 169 - Austin - designated 1990, removed 1991 - was to replace FM 2222 and SS69?
SH 200 - designated north of Corpus Christi, not built
SH 210 - Houston - designated 1993 - Memorial parkway?
SH 221 - near Temple - not designated, but noted on 1938 map.
SH 331 - Corpus Christi - designated and cancelled 1940 - don't know location - possible Ocean Drive.
SH 363 - near Corpus Christi - designated but not built - do not know intended location
SH 365 - will redirect to SH 363
Not designated (24): 196, 209, 212, 215, 216, 221, 228, 229, 233, 241, 250, 252, 260, 262, 263, 266, 268, 271, 280, 281, 287, 296, 298, 306

- 210 is designated but has no certified mileage. Looking into it, possibly a planned highway that has yet to be built. --Holderca1 18:52, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Roads without articles
Although we have made great progress and have all the state highways with articles, the bigger problem is the roads without articles. Taking into account the spurs, loops, and farm/ranch roads that do not have articles, the number is over 4,000. There are roughly 6,000 currently for the entire U.S. roads project. Instead of creating articles for every single one of these, which for the most part, these are very minor roads that their isn't much to say, I propose we start doing List of highway in X County, Texas instead. There are 254 counties in Texas, 254 is much more manageable than 4,000. I have started a page on my user subpage at User:Holderca1/Farm to manage these new articles. I also think that each of the metro areas in Texas should have their own article, there are 25 total. Greater Houston and DFW already have articles and I just started San Antonio's. --Holderca1 21:31, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
