The result was Keep. I've looked at all of these bridge nominations that remain in "old discussions", and I'm closing them all as keep. A list, or merge, is for the talkpages. Please see my talk if you have any questions. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:01, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Podutik Bridge

Podutik Bridge (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

An unimportant bridge in Ljubljana. Eleassar my talk 12:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Keep - all these stub articles were only created 4 days ago. It's a bit premature to decide they'll never be improved. - Denimadept (talk) 16:45, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

To expand on what I think is going on here, we need more information about each of these bridges in their articles. WHAT are these bridges?
  • How long are they
  • What sort of construction are they?
    • arch
    • suspension
    • cantilever
    • whatever
  • When where they built?
  • Who built them?
  • Why were they built?
  • What precedes them (any previous bridges on that site? Maybe a ferry?)
  • What context are they in? Any history? Battles or other events?
  • What kind of effort went into them?
  • Provide a picture! Or several!
  • What are their coordinates (though I like to do that one! :-D)?
  • What makes them worth an article?
It's not their location that's a problem; see Nový Most for a good example in the same area, and the Danube River bridges are currently the subjects of a list in progress. The more you can put into an article, the more references, the more data in general, the less susceptible to an AfD the article is. - Denimadept (talk) 17:04, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Comment. The fundamental question is: what makes this bridge worth an article? I'm from Ljubljana, know it well, and think nothing makes it. Anyone is welcome to prove otherwise. --Eleassar my talk 12:31, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Simply put, fails reliable sources, notability and verifiable. The onus is on the article to meet guidelines and not for editors to expect that it meets the guidelines.
