Seems like this will remain a permastub, but what do I know? --NE2 18:42, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, here's a possible game plan:

Expand out the history section to a full paragraph with the missing details. That will bring this up to C-Class.
Add a little polish and some references to the RD, and that will bring this up to B-Class. (This assumes that the History was referenced in #1.)
Consider expanding the junction list to fully incorporate the section that overlaps US 1 to avoid forcing readers to jump to another article, and that will help the B-Class rating.
Polish and expand the lead to accommodate the information from #1, and this article would be ready to go to WP:GAN for a GA-Class rating.
Profit.

Of course no one has to the do the above, but any interested editor could with access to the right resources. Imzadi 1979 → 20:25, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is the entire length of US 23 in Florida that's not also US 1. There's probably some local history to the road, but the route description will be minimal unless you go into block-by-block overdetail. --NE2 21:22, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Concurrencies just mean we cover content a bit redundantly. This article is about US 23 in the Sunshine State, so the article needs to cover all 37 miles as a self-contained article. The Covington-to-Harvey highway that's both US 41 and M-28 is completely covered in both articles, even if it would be easier to just say "see X between MP Y and MP Z."

That's a silly way to do things, and easily leads to synchronization problems when one article gets changed but the other doesn't (especially when starting with less-than-perfect writing). Also: should U.S. Route 1 in New Jersey include all the text in U.S. Route 1/9? --NE2 21:52, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify: I have no problem with the existence of this, but a certain other prolific editor did. --NE2 21:27, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At the time it was redirected, there was no junction list, nor was there a RD section. This article has both, and it has the start of a history section to expand on the topic, so redirection isn't an issue now. Back then, we had crappy short stubs that were nothing more than an infobox and lead, but now we have the start of an article. Imzadi 1979 → 21:41, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! You two revived this back in March 2014, and I'm just finding out about it now! While I've certainly considered reviving this myself, I would've thought you could've done more with an article on U.S. Route 29 in Florida than this. Oh, well. Another sandbox for me to delete. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 18:05, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
