The result of the move request was: move to Beltline Road you can always start a merge discussion there, if desires ( non-admin closure) -- Aunva6 talk - contribs 18:19, 30 November 2017 (UTC) reply



The Beltline Beltline Road (Decatur, Alabama) – This road's common name appears to be "Beltline Road," not "The Beltline." Also, it is not the primary topic for " Beltline." 146.229.240.200 ( talk) 07:17, 12 November 2017 (UTC)--Relisting.usernamekiran (talk) 17:50, 19 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Support no primary In ictu oculi ( talk) 07:55, 12 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • move to Beltline Road - unoccupied primary topic name. We do not preemptively disambiguate. Speedy close per this. -- Netoholic @ 16:22, 13 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Note: Belt Line Road (Texas), the article by the closest name, has more than five times the daily average number of views than this article. This is probably not the primary topic. Also, I do weakly support merging this into Alabama State Route 67, as this is a special route only made up of one highway, and not a separate designation. 146.229.240.200 ( talk) 21:31, 13 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Beltline Road should be a disambiguation page leading people to a section of Alabama State Route 67 (that this article should be moved into) and the Texas article the IP listed. – Fredddie 02:14, 14 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Move to Beltline Road. As Netoholic says, that target is currently a redlink, so there is nothing lost by doing that. And it doesn't clash with Belt Line Road (Texas) and other entries at Beltline#Roads per WP:SMALLDETAILS. Hatnotes can take people to the dab page if necessary, but otherwise no need to separate the two.  —  Amakuru ( talk) 12:55, 28 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Discussion

  • Page mover comment: @ In ictu oculi, Netoholic, and Fredddie: Given the different names suggested for targets, it is suggested this should be discussed further. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:50, 19 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Support my original inclusion. If not that then The Beltline (Decatur, Alabama). Actually, however, I'm somewhat on board with the idea of merging this into Alabama State Route 67. I haven't totally decided though. Most bypass routes and special routes are notable. However, this one is different in that it is part of a route that already has an article. 146.229.240.200 ( talk) 23:50, 20 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Actually, most special routes have not been found to be meet the notability requirements for a stand-alone article. There are exceptions, but most are covered as sections in a larger list ( Business routes of Interstate 96, etc.) or as sections in a parent article ( U.S. Route 2 in Michigan#Business route). In this case, whatever is ultimately decided, my support goes toward merger/redirection, making the name picked for the redirect to be an academic exercise.

Sorry, I meant notable, but not standalone. It is worth mentioning in the AL 67 article, which should include a special section. However, all of the material in the article about the history is unreferenced, and I've found absolutely nothing so far on the internet supporting anything before the beginning of the construction in 2007. It appears to have been written by someone with a first-hand account, although I don't doubt its truthfulness. Support merger. 146.229.240.200 ( talk) 01:10, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
