• Keep It seems to be a notable and interesting topic: G-Books. In this case, deletion would not be a very constructive and encyclopedic solution. The article is maybe poorly written and unreferenced, but it isn't hopeless and is fixable. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 21:52, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• That's what people against deletion said in December of '06 and nothing has been done since, it's rather hopeless. --Moyogo/ (talk) 22:25, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• ... nothing has been done since 2006 ... maybe there still could be done something about it? You've already spent some time on it (I read the talk page). Why not to fix/improve/clarify, instead of deleting? It is a notable phenomenon and a widely used term in association with HIV/AIDS. We should properly explain that to the reader, not delete. I'd like to help you with the article, but I'm too busy at the moment. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 09:01, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It's mentioned in several reliable sources, leading me to think it's worth expansion. —Ed!^(talk) 17:39, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Ed. There's several US roads that have articles that are less notable. --Rschen7754 03:59, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  Guys this is not one road, It's a concept to explain how AIDS spread. It's misleading and it's working. --Moyogo/ (talk) 07:58, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  Even if your assertion is true, it would still be notable. --Rschen7754 08:00, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm am saying the information on how AIDS spread thanks to transportation infrastructure in Central Africa should be in an article concerning AIDS, not in an article about a single road that doesn't exist. At most this should be a section in another article, not a proper article categorized as an existing roads going from one place to another. --Moyogo/ (talk) 13:51, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, an important topic and interesting article, however I am amused by those !voting keep here who seem to think it refers to an actual road, and quite clearly have not read the article. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 05:16, 1 January 2012 (UTC).[reply]
