Questionable notability

[edit]

Seems like a non-notable non-Road to me. All refs are non-events. Is it worth keeping? Downsize43 (talk) 11:01, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would survive AfD easily. A google search turns up a lot of things. Given it was controversially built in a UNESCO World Heritage area and is now controversially kept closed to cars (walkers and cyclists can use it in practice because they can bypass the gates installed), I'd be suprised if there wasn't a fair bit of newspaper coverage at certain times (e.g. every time a cyclone swings past Cairns people call for Quaid Road to be opened as an evacuation route). A google search reveals there is even a thesis at Macquarie University "Values, Ethics and Wilderness Protection. The Quaid Road as a case study." I think the sources are there if anyone wanted to improve the article. Kerry (talk) 06:41, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Aside, we are certainly using the common name for that article. The official name "Southedge-Wangetti Road" doesn't turn up anything in a Google Search except the Wikipedia article! Having said that, how can an unofficial road have an official road name? Life is full of mysteries ... Kerry (talk) 06:45, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
