I-78 and its derivative routes are all Good Articles. These child routes are I-278, I-678, I-478 (the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel) and I-878 (New York State Route 878). In addition, Holland Tunnel (the only part of I-78 in New York that was actually built) is also a Good Article. This is similar to other road-related GT's and FT's such as
Wikipedia:Featured topics/New York State Route 20N and
Wikipedia:Featured topics/Interstate 96, in that it is limited to a highway within one state, and its respective child highways. --

Imzadi1979: I was thinking that could be another Good Topic altogether, with this topic as part of the I-78 main topic. The I-78, I-78 (PA) and I-78 (NJ) articles aren't good articles yet, so I don't think I can nominate these as part of Good Topics. However,
Pennsylvania Route 378is a good article so maybe these can be part of a I-78 Good Topic.

Epicgenius: I wouldn't do a NY-specific subtopic under an I-78 parent topic. I would only include all of the articles related to I-78 nationally in a single topic, which is what we have with I-96. Since the parent article and the other two state articles for I-78 are not GAs, that would mean that you cannot nominate such a topic until they are promoted. I have not looked to see if there are any other 3dI articles that would need inclusion, but if they aren't GAs or better, again, the topic could not be nominated yet until they are.
In looking at this, if a state-specific Interstate Highway topic were a good idea, we'd have one already on
Interstate 75 in Michigan (FA), and include the articles on I-275 (FA), I-375 (GA), I-475 (GA), I-675 (FA) and the business loops/spurs (GA). However, since I don't think that we consider this a valid topic without including the other states, such a topic has not been nominated. I-96 only exists in a single state, so it's national topic is also a Michigan-specific one. Imzadi 1979→ 19:55, 12 July 2019 (UTC)reply

Imzadi1979: OK, that makes sense. I thought that I-96, being a single-state interstate, would be an applicable comparison, but I guess not. I still think that, with the complexity of I-78 in NY, it may still be a good idea to have this as a child topic, and a parent topic for I-78 as well once that is completed. There are a few other pieces of related infrastructure (e.g.
Interstate 295 (New York)) that also relate to I-78 in NY, but not directly. However, I've never nominated a Good Topic before so I'll follow your advice.I think 278, 378, 478, 678, and 878 are the only 3di's with articles, and all are good articles. I-178 redirects to I-78 (PA), though, which is not a good article.

Based on the single oppose to this topic's nomination, and how there has been no discussion since the day of its nomination, I am failing this nomination.--十八 01:00, 9 August 2019 (UTC)reply
