Proposed merge with U.S. Route 501 in South Carolina

To merge the 3 relevant state pages into U.S. Route 501 per WP:USRD/3STATE. Klbrain (talk) 19:24, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:USRD/3STATE, an article should only have state-detail articles if the main article would be difficult to maintain due to length. The entire length of US 501 is 355 miles, so length should not really be a factor. –Fredddie ™ 23:27, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Do you plan to merge back North and South Carolina into the main article? Keep in mind the sordid past of US 501 in NC being originally together with US 15 and the desire of other editors wanting to break-out states because... reasons... Assuming you'll be doing the merging, what safeguards will be to make sure another editor doesn't show-up a few years down the road and break it out again or re-merge with US 15 (I had to fight a couple of editors on that in the past). --WashuOtaku (talk) 00:02, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would merge all three state-detail articles to here. I'm coming up with a gameplan. I wouldn't half-ass it. –Fredddie ™ 00:15, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose -- There are too many details, primarily in Virginia. The other states can and should be expanded. -------User:DanTD (talk) 04:28, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support merger based on current state of the articles. One article should be able to handle a 355-mile highway, even when fully expanded. However, I would not be opposed to splitting again if an expanded article is bursting at the seams. Dough4872 01:47, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 20:02, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If we were following the rules, the merge proposal would have failed months ago; not wait over a year later to getting a second person to agree then suddenly make it happen. Amused how it was not integrated in the merging, it's basically three articles slapped together. --WashuOtaku (talk) 20:36, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have cleaned up the merged article by combining the junction lists and infoboxes together along with cleaning up the route description a bit. Dough4872 00:52, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
