Failed GA

I'm sorry this took so long. I had a look at the article, compared it with other similar offerings, and decided to fail it on GA criterion 3)Broad in coverage. I took advice on this, I don't like failing articles (usually I tend to do so on a lack of referencing, or progress). The article is very small, and while there are no rules that set a minimum size for GA I would at least have expected to see some detail on what existed before the road was built, why it was built, what material it was/is made from, what traffic uses it, etc. You are of course free to re-nominate, but I would guess the reason its been up for nomination for so long is its lack of coverage of the subject.

In addition, this route is probably too short and unnotable to have its own article. It would better fit in List of minor Maryland state highways. Dough4872 (talk) 23:13, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
