Prefectural routes

I've been planning on starting to create articles for the prefectural roads of Japan, however I was wondering what the best route to take would be (no pun intended!)

My initial plan was to create separate articles for each road (idea 1), most of which already exist on the Japanese wiki which makes it easier than writing 1000+ articles from scratch. WP:NROAD says "state and provincial highways are typically notable", so I believe individual articles would be okay, although I'm still not 100% sure on that.

However, I began to wonder whether or not it would be better to just create a list for each prefecture. I then wondered if I should make them similar to lists like List of state highways in Louisiana and A roads in Zone 1 of the Great Britain numbering scheme (idea 2) - which are just tables listing the routes' basic information - or more like List of state highways in Louisiana (100–149) - which has sections for each with an infobox and brief descriptions (idea 3).

I'm really not sure if it's best to go with idea 1, 2, or 3, and if anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, harrz ^talk 22:17, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
