I submit to you that Template:Ontario King's Highways does not satisfy WP:NPOV (specifically:WP:UNDUE). It gives undue weight to the viewpoint that the listed roadways are the only roads with the honorific prefix of "King's Highway". After close inspection and attempts at locateing Citations, it is apparent that the Template is based upon a sigular citation source via the Provincial_highways_in_Ontario#King.27s_Highways Article. The source does not satisfy WP:RS. It is based upon the works of a single person. No desparageing of the site is intended in that remark, however other sources cannot be ignored. http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/ (a Gov't website, regularly updated and factchecked) points out the definition of "King' Highway" as "includes the secondary highways and tertiary roads designated under the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act". (for one IANAL-laymans interpretation of of that legalese see here.) Not even does the Template acknowlage the possible existance of any tertiary roads with the honorific prefix "King's Highway". I politely ask, please give citations as to where you are obtaining the listing of included roads.
I will make my position clear. I do not wish to create argument, however, I do not believe that the Template should be used, at all, until such time as a difinitive list of roadways, that will stand up to WP:RS, is presented in the citations for this Template. Should no citation be presented (within an extended timespan), this same argument will be presented in WP:TFD. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 13:23, 20 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
