This article about a ring road located in Belgium appears to be non-notable in reliable sources for significant coverage. According to an internet search, there are no reliable sources regarding the subject and the first result is the Wikipedia article itself. The references provided in the article itself have no evidence that they are reliable. TBrandley 17:16, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Isn't this the kind of numbered, limited access, national road system highway that is generally kept, per WP:ROADOUTCOMES and per the statement at Wikipedia:Notability (highways) that "highways that are numbered and signed as part of a single, national highway network are generally notable and should have their own articles"? Note that the French[1] and Dutch[[2]] Wikipedias, and others, have comprehensive coverage of the Belgian ring roads, and that a GNews search for <r3 ring Charleroi> turns up current coverage of this road [3][4].--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:32, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
