Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of communities on U.S. Route 66
most of the delete rationales here are very poor. Merging this content into the main Route 66 article is a possibility, but it might be excessive detail in the route description, in which case this is a valid spin-off - I'll leave that for the raodfans to describe. But the following grounds to delete are complete bunkum: (1) "not a likely search term" - same is true for all sub-articles that are spun off on length grounds. (2) "redundant to category" - no, please read . It's not redundant if it can do something a category can't - and in this case it can, because it can put places in the order they lie on the road. Similarly, this list ''could'' be used to give a little detail about each town - even something basic like it's population. Categories can't do that. "Redundancy" is an utterly invalid argument, there's nothing wrong with having both a category and a list, as they serve different organizational purposes. (3) "Lack of notability" is arguably invalid - this is basically a spin-off subarticle. As with the fact that spin off articles don't usually have likely search terms, we also give them leniency in terms of standalone notability: the important thing is whether the page contains useful, organised information that would naturally be part of the main article, but would add excessive length so is better as a subarticle. This does seem exactly the sort of material that it would be natural to include in the main article, but may not wish to do so for length reasons
