The following discussion is an archived discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Moved as proposed. The disambiguation page has been retained at
A road (disambiguation), unless and until an AfD is brought.

– The disambiguation page
A road seems to fully include the subject that is defined in the first section of List of A roads meaning that the "List of A roads" article is most likely the
WP:DABCONCEPT article for the disambiguation page, and thus inherently makes it the
primary topic for the term. (If a reader is looking up this term attempting to find its meaning, may as well direct them to that information rather than a disambiguation page.) With that being said, after the move, I propose that the article's current name, List of A roads, become a redirect to the "List of A roads" section in this article.

Wouldn't it be better to
merge the two articles? The article links on the current
A road already appear on the List of A roads. They are are part of the same topic. —

That would probably be okay as well. However, the disambiguation page has a "See also" section that is probably helpful, but would probably have no place in the main article, so ... I'm really not sure.

The "See also" is very weak and the linked articles are
partial title matches with no specific relation to A roads. But if the links are really necessary, they could be incorporated into the intro along the lines of "A roads are
roads beginning with the letter
A". —

Support first move, and ditch the disambig page. It really has no useful information on it that isn't already in the "List of" article. —

Support both, the DAB should go somewhere for the moment. AfD it later if it really offends, but it looks harmless to me.
