Change

I changed the phrase "with the last four or so miles leading to U.S. Highway 41 signed east-west." It sounded a bit informal.

Disputed

According to the AASHTO approval of the change, it still exists west of US 41. "The overall route length of I-164 is 21.39 miles. The segment of I-164 that is proposed to be eliminated, renamed and resigned as I-69 over an existing facility is approximately 20.70 miles long." --NE2 21:42, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've reworded the article to clarify the a small part of I-164 still exists. However, its existence will likely be invisible to anyone traveling on it since as far as I know it is not signed as I-164. There are a number of segments of old routes like this that still exist only on highway department records. Indyguy (talk) 05:21, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merger

I've thought about merging this article with I-69. We could move I-164 into I-69's history Section.

Maybe in the near future, but not in the way you've done it. There are all sorts of attribution-related issues to just copying and pasting text, EBGamingWiki, and I don't think you have the skill set at the moment to properly handle such a merger. Also, it should be open for a bit more discussion before you move forward unilaterally. Imzadi 1979 → 19:47, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anything we have to wait for to do it?? Is the highway still called Interstate 164?? Georgia guy (talk) 19:55, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is my understand that the stub end in Evansville, albeit unsigned, has not been renumbered or de-numbered yet. It might be unsigned, but I-164 still exists in much-truncated format in that case. Imzadi 1979 → 19:59, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the introduction to saying that it's mostly former, but I used the verb is to indicate the fact that it is partially current. Georgia guy (talk) 20:01, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support; merge what you can, and delete this article, as it is, all that exists of the I164 is a half a mile stretch of nothing (Definitely not notable enough for its own article). Furthermore, the merger was completed in 2014, meaning that most of this article is outdated and factually incorrect. InsertCleverPhraseHere ^{InsertTalkHere} 21:16, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

One examination it appears that nothing in this article is needed for the I-69 article, I'll propose article deletion. InsertCleverPhraseHere ^{InsertTalkHere} 21:24, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion is a bad option; any merger requires that the full page history of the resulting redirect be kept for page attribution purposes. Imzadi 1979 → 22:14, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 16 December 2015

It has been proposed in this section that Interstate 164 be renamed and moved to Interstate 164 (Indiana).

Interstate 164 → Interstate 164 (Indiana) – Now neither this highway nor the Virginia highway is current-official-signed, so Interstate 164 is useful as a dis-ambiguation page. There are no more current-official-signed I-164's, but there are 2 advanced meanings, so a dis-ambiguation page would make sense. Georgia guy (talk) 20:02, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose; it is better better to turn this into a redirect to Interstate 64 in Indiana, and merge this article's content directly into the other article. Also as per the other article, wouldn't the name Interstate 64 in Indiana be the preferred title? parenthetical disambiguation is only used when other methods of disambiguating don't work. InsertCleverPhraseHere ^{InsertTalkHere} 21:10, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've proposed the article for deletion. I-164 is no longer notable as a half mile stretch of nothing, except as a section within the I-69 article. it seems that there isn't anything in this article that is needed on the I69 article anyway.

(edit conflict)Question: Was the Virginia I-164 ever signed as I-164 or was the number declined before it was signed? –Fredddie ™ 21:38, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
