I was talking about an argument that doesn't involve anything de facto. While most people consider presidents clearly notable, I explained the reasons you could use to point it out.
My government also designates whether the field behind my house will be designated as a residential area or a green place. That doesn't neccesarily mean the place warrants an article.
It's exactly the comments that claim a certain category of articles is worth an entry by default (or not) that I'm trying to avoid here. Those are the cause of endless inclusionist vs. deletionist debates.
Can you actually point out any reasons that don't depend on de facto or by default notability?
The state has decided to spend money not only to buy the right-of-way and maintain the road but to post markers that indicate that to the public and help them identify the road as a more important road. That to me says "notable".
sorvrin states have spent money on may things over the years. That doesn't make them notable.
