    • Isn't it there because of its bridges though? --NE2 06:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
There are a number of sections of U.S. Route 66 on the Register, I am certain that this isn't the only non-bridge road on there. Just FYI.A mcmurray 20:55, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

  • This article needs major adjustments to its section headings. It is the longest road in Pennsylvania and has much detail but it is not organized. -- J-A10 T · C 02:35, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Its the only Interstate Main Route Number to be listed as a stub. Getting it to at least start would be fairly easy. Mihsfbstadium 04:53, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
uhm actually all of the ones you just listed are rated as 'start'. So unless you can find me another Interstate highway rated as stub its the only one. --Mihsfbstadium 08:04, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
They are all tagged as stubs. I-37 has no more content than this one, it just has an exit list. --Holderca1 16:29, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
I removed two of the stub tags from I-19 and I-59, but I-29 and I-37 are definitely stubs and I downgraded their status on the talk page. --Holderca1 16:33, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Also, one last thing, no need to get so defensive. I am not saying this article doesn't deserve its nomination, just want to make sure that we don't think it is the only one that needs work. --Holderca1 16:40, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
ROTFLMAO if you think that was defensive uhm that was just pointing a fact out that according to those pages they were rated as starts. BTW I do agree with them being as starts since I thought I saw them all with an exit list unless I was mistaken. I consider a stub to be just the intro and maybe some history of the route. an exit list I would think brings it up a notch. in anycase thats a discussion for a diffrent time. In anycase just a minor ramble here. --Mihsfbstadium 10:27, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Well, I will agree to disagree with you. An exit list is fairly easy to create and I don't think that it makes it a start class article. Actually I-37 rating was start before I added the exit list. I-29 doesn't have an exit list and only has two sentences of prose. Tables, photos, maps all help complement an article and are required to get the article to a certain rating, but the prose itself has to meet those standards on its own as well. --Holderca1 13:50, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
