Not promoted - withdrawn by the nominator. –Fredddie ™ 04:32, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion: Promote to A-Class

Nominator's comments: I feel this is one of my better articles as it has a well-researched history with several prose sources and a route description that is not excessively detailed.

Oppose – The history of Pricetown Road is extremely lacking. There are four sentences, all with dates cited by maps. There is a desperate need to start doing local research from libraries around Reading. By 1862, By 1930, By 1940 is not significant, and considering information like this is out there if you try, I'd take a good look on it. Next, we have no contract dates, groundbreakings or anything on the bypass besides start/finish. We have a date of By 1976, this could be eliminated with a newspaper check. Hell, the article needs some more newspapers in my opinion, which should help get this stuff across. Mitch32^{(Never support those who think in the box)} 01:49, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

During this week I will try to do some library research to find these details. Dough 48 72 02:00, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So far, I've tried searching the Kutztown University Library and the Berks County Public Libraries collections online and nothing relevant is coming up concerning the early history of Pricetown Road. Dough 48 72 02:20, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I found a source on Google Books showing Pricetown Road in 1836. Dough 48 72 02:28, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Found a better source that discusses Pricetown Road in the 17th century, along with the original use of the road. Dough 48 72 03:38, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
