Interstate 755 (Mississippi) → Interstate 755 – This highway is Interstate 755; the Missouri highway is not. Georgia guy (talk) 00:00, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

• Oppose—the target should be a dab page, and this should be merged with Airport Parkway (Mississippi), an existing article on the same topic instead. Imzadi 1979 → 00:07, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
• Oppose the Missouri article clearly has a section about an Interstate. -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 04:13, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
  • ...that has been cancelled. Georgia guy (talk) 14:35, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
    • Cancelled roads can be notable. As it is, this Mississippi road project was "suspended" in 2009, and I found very little, let alone anything that suggested that the project had been resurrected. See the list of sources I'll be pasting in a section below in my next edit, Georgia guy. Imzadi 1979 → 22:42, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

      Do many people know the highway as if it had actually been constructed?? Georgia guy (talk) 22:49, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

• Oppose: No evidence of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC; indeed, both of them appear not to be separately notable: Both Interstate 755 (Mississippi) (a subtopic of Airport Parkway (Mississippi)) and Interstate 755 (Missouri) (a subtopic of Missouri Route 755) appear to be other roads' proposed (not official) Interstate designations that haven't happened. --Closeapple (talk) 09:42, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
• Oppose per Imzadi1979. –Fredddie™ 23:43, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

This is a moot point now. This article has been deleted and the redirect to Missouri Route 755 has been restored. –Fredddie™ 21:28, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Based on these sources, this article isn't a distinct topic from Airport Parkway (Mississippi), and the two should be merged and expanded in one place. Imzadi 1979 → 22:51, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
