Non-notable street in Hong Kong. The article fails to provide sufficient sources or even details in the text, to support its notability. Delete as per Wikipedia:Notability and WP:RS. Note that existence does not prove notability. The road needs to be the a subject covered by the source not simply a location mentioned while discussing some ancillary topic.

• Comment. This is a short (but essential) stretch of highway at the end of Route 8 (Hong Kong) as it runs into Chek Lap Kok and Hong Kong International Airport. It might be best to merge the content from this article into the Route 8 article. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:38, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A great many things are essential but that isn't the definition of notability used in Wikipedia. Rincewind42 (talk) 15:23, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Hong Kong International Airport. Where Route 8 ends at the airport, this is a typical airport terminal access road. Important, yes, but an integral part of the airport. If we had an article for JFK Access Road, I'd say merge to John F. Kennedy International Airport.--Oakshade (talk) 03:58, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am unsure if the Hong Kong International Airport article could take this information without creating undue weight to a relatively minor detail of the whole airport. Much of the current Hong Kong International Airport article should really be on WikiVoyage instead. The article North Lantau Highway or Route 8 (Hong Kong) might be better targets. Again care need be taken to avoid giving undue weight to this short section of road. Must of the current Airport Road, Hong Kong article seems to be original research based on the editors person experience of the road rather than on any secondary sources.

• delete. I agree that if there were reliably sourced content it should be merged but there is none. Beyond the name and location given in Route 8 (Hong Kong) there's nothing to merge. Absent some sources being found there's nothing to keep so delete.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 05:14, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or Transwiki. Non-notable thoroughfare lacking significant coverage in reliable sources. The article contains the type of info that belongs in Wikitravel or Wikivoyage, not here. Airport Road is furthermore not a candidate for inclusion in the Hong Kong International Airport article just because it happens to end there.  Philg88 ^♦talk 06:13, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
