== to categorise or not to categorise, that is the question? == 

 Hi Vegaswikian, although it was not me who originally put it there I'm not quite convinced that your removal of category:East Midlands Airport is correct for M1 Motorway. Whilst I completely agree that we don't categorise roads by place served, this particular categorisation is not to do with the EMA being a destination but rather a historical event. The M1's history is firmly interwoven with that of the adjacent airport by the Kegworth air disaster (referenced in the article under Incidents) which received a similarly large volume of UK news coverage to the internationally known Bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 a few weeks earlier. I'd go as far as to suggest that for any British person old enough to remember it that if asked for a fact about the East Midlands Airport, the answer would be "that was where that airliner came down on the M1"; the end of the runway is so close to the carriageway that the landing lights are on highway property. 

 On that basis, I'm intending to revert, but asking for your comments before doing so.  |
