Several attempts have been made in the past to establish separate guidelines for the notability of populated places, streets, roads, highways, and other geographic-related subjects. To this date, none have been accepted. As a result, geographic-related articles are still bound by the general notability guideline. (Some types of transportation-related subjects have been accepted as inherently notable, including those that are part of a numbered road system.)
Very frequently, geographic-related subjects find themselves at AfD. There is even a category of AfD called places and transportation where these can be found. It is quite common for these to face various arguments to be kept or deleted, regardless of what the guidelines state.
