The sections titled "A18 Snaefell Mountain Road" and "Motor sport heritage" are not about Keppel gate, and should be deleted. The section "Origin of the name Keppel Gate" is excessive, but a summary sentence or possibly two could be added to the table row if you like that content. I would delete the "Road safety" section; it is not important to tell the world that the roadway was resurfaced in 2006-2007. In summary, I am okay with merging a sentence or two about the Keppel Gate name to the table row. It is extremely late in the day, given contention running for several years, to be asserting there is valid content to add to the article. The article creator has tried to create/add content, but has in my view failed.

I hope some more editors could see their way to commenting here, and/or for a closer to really consider the merits of the situation and not simply go with the majority of votes (2:1 against me i guess) so far. If the article is retained by "Keep" or "No consensus" then I do expect I will edit it down to one sentence and expect to go on battling forever with the original author.Ā :( Or maybe I could come up with a bunch of negative tags to post on the article to make it an awful experience for readers, and just maintain those forever. Argh. I would appreciate some help to just get rid of this, instead. --

If in fact there is a genuine "Area of Specific Scientific Interest" near to the road turn, then it should more naturally be covered in a list-article on such areas in the Isle of Man. I suspect there is no interest in actually covering such areas in Knowledge (XXG); rather the battle is to trump up supposedly related content in order to defend at all costs any TT racing-topic article. --

The A18 road was a strategic initiative to improve road communications and āKeppel Gateā was one of perhaps three purpose built sections to join-up existing mountain cart-tracks. During the initial period of racing cars and motor-cycles (1904-1921), competitors were diverted on to mountain tracks for various different reasons away from the normal route of the A18 road and this included Keppel Gate.

Keppel Gate (sourced anecdote about there having been a livestock gate, and the first rider opening it and the last rider having to close it, in long-ago racing) is included in its table row, but not in the current table, because the article creator contends against it and removes it.
