]- Oppose Moving all these pages to the state road names would make the page unidentifiable. No one knows these streets by the state road number. The street name (Bird Road, Kendall Drive, etc.) is by far the common name.--Comayagua99 (talk) 14:15, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
- The current article names would act as redirects to the new article names. -DyluckTRocket (talk) 14:56, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

- Question: What do sources commonly call these roads? I am skeptical that all sources fall neatly in line with an internal en.wiki guideline, but I'm open to suggestions... bobrayner (talk) 22:03, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose. As AjaxSmack noted, the number designations do not cover the entirety of the roads in question. These articles could be considered in compliance with WP:USRD/NT#Combined articles, where, for example, the numbered segment of Bird Road and the non-numbered segment "are so tightly related that it would be difficult to write non-redundant articles about each".

- Support because the roads themselves don't seem nearly notable enough for their own articles, and if they are, that isn't asserted in the articles. I propose removing the info about the roads outside the highway designations and renaming the articles. TCN7JM 02:16, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
- I am having difficulty understanding how you'd fix a notability problem by moving to a less-common title and then narrowing the scope even further. Surely that would make the subjects even less notable? Can you explain? bobrayner (talk) 13:36, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
- Gladly. The most common name is not notable. Take away the State Road designations and the roads themselves aren't notable whatsoever. That's why the articles need to be moved and all of the information about the non-notable roads needs to be removed. The State Road portions are the only portions of the road that are notable because they are State Roads, which means they are government maintained. TCN7JM 03:52, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
- How does the source of funding make them more notable? The not inherited by every single thing that the government does; and even if it were, the greater extent of the road would surely still be more notable than individual portions which are government-maintained. bobrayner (talk) 13:17, 2 June 2013 (UTC)]

- Oppose WP:USSH says Official nicknames for highways... may be used if the DOT uses it. It makes sense to use the official nickname (as those are). Swim900 (talk) 20:25, 28 May 2013 (UTC)]
