no contents. previously had one photo, one graphic; since the highway no longer exists, it is unlikely addition media will be made for it. Imzadi 1979 → 08:11, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
- Category might have been useful for photos with the M-554 shield on it, but not in case it just contains one photo (or zero, of course :-)). So I'd say: delete it. Fietsbel (talk) 17:58, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- The highway was never signed with M-554 shields. Imzadi 1979 → 19:26, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
- Keep, Road category with good potential for growth. FieldMarine (talk) 20:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
- Grow how? The highway was 1) never signed as part of the state highway system from October 1, 1998 – October 10, 2005 and 2) and it was only 0.852 miles (1.371 km) in length. Sorry, I respectfully disagree that there's any room for growth. Imzadi 1979 → 12:29, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- Here are two more files: File:M-554.jpg and File:M-554 blade.svg for this cat in addition to the one in there. FieldMarine (talk) 04:08, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
- The first would be the the photo mention in the nomination statement (highways with only a single photo have had their photos place in Category:State highways in Michigan and the second is the graphic representation of the "blade sign" (street sign) used on the roadway, and much like the reassurance markers on other highways, those graphics are placed in a separate category for shields. Imzadi 1979 → 14:51, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- I understand that shields for all highways should be in a cat for shields to group them together, but they should also be in the cat for the individual highway it represents as they are for many of the highway cats in Commons. Thanks & Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 04:31, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- Except, that's not how it's been done. None of the other specific Michigan highway categories have markers. (You shouldn't call them shields as they are not shield-shaped) Imzadi 1979 → 04:33, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

- Note for closing admin: The article on M-554 was merged into the M-553 article last month. The lone photo that's in this category is in Category:M-553 (Michigan highway). Imzadi 1979 → 01:53, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
- IMHO, the fact that the road articles in Wikipedia were merged should have no bearing on the deletion of this category in Commons as this is not Wikipedia. A road that no longer exists still has history & having a category with those files in it helps with the sorting & searching of files in commons. Semper Fi!

- The articles were merged because M-554 was the unsigned designation of the stub end of CR 553 that wasn't included in M-553 when the CR was transferred to state jurisdiction. In other words, after some discussion, it was felt that M-554 didn't need its own article. As a side note, the lone photo in this category shows only one roadway (in the background), and that's not former M-554; it's then-McClellan Avenue, now M-553.

- Delete only one legitimate file. --Rschen7754 07:45, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
- Comment, I count three, not including the two under discussion. I’ve been waiting to move the other two into this category depending on the outcome of this discussion. They are:

- Only one legitimate file. Not images created just to make sure the category continues to exist. --Rschen7754 20:13, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
The three files above pre-date this CfD. If you referring to the two additional files for the road sign, perhaps they were made because the current one incorrectly simulates the actual sign that was in use for this road as stated in the discussion.

- Comment, in general & related to this discussion but also a broader issue, I recommend placing the category for a road on any "blade" or "shield" file that those graphics represent, provided that road has a category. For example, I recommend placing Category:M-554 (Michigan highway) on File:M-554 blade.svg or Category:Rush Street (Chicago) on File:S Rush St Chicago.svg. I see this is already done in some areas & I suggest we make it a standard practice. Since this is a more general topic for standardization, where is a good place to present this item for discussion?

Kept, well fitting into Category:State highways in Michigan. --JuTa 22:28, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
