This (unreferenced) article is about an ordinary, unremarkable footbridge. There are millions of similar structures around the world and I can't see why this one should have an article at Wikipedia. Previous AfD discussion from 2005 is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Olchfa footbridge (the result was no consensus). KFP (talk | contribs) 16:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I may be missing something, but where is the assertion of notability? It might be good to remember that Wikipedia is not a repository for trivial facts. -bobby 17:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - not sure why it's notable. The picture itself is used in Beam bridge, but I can't tell why this bridge is any more notable than any other bridge. Now, if it was an open-spandrel reinforced concrete deck arch bridge, then I'd be interested in it, but this isn't all that exciting. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 18:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I created this article not too long (~3 months) after I first arrived on Wikipedia, and from checking the what links here I suspect it propably relates to User:Centauri's assertions that "All schools and other public institutions and facilities such as churches, railway stations, post offices, shopping malls, roads and bridges are notable, without exception."

- Would you be adverse to merging the article to the Olchfa School which is pretty barren of content, so adding this bit wouldn't hurt it at all. FrozenPurpleCube 20:17, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I wouldn't object to that - I wondered about commenting about a merge, but wasn't aware that article existed. Thryduulf 20:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Works for me then. But if you just want to add the information that you know to the Olchfa School article instead, that might be easier than a merge. FrozenPurpleCube 20:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete This could be transwiki'd to a roads wiki if anyone wants to set one up... But here, it's unremarkable. SunStar Net 20:21, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge Since the original author has stated that they'd be fine with putting the information in the Olchfa School I see no reason not to merge then. FrozenPurpleCube 20:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
