• Oppose per
  WP:UCN, discussion below, discussion at a related RM at Talk:Bird Road, and because a title does not confer notability. —  AjaxSmack  03:55, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply

• Oppose. The number designations do not cover the entirety of the roads in question. This articles could be considered in compliance with
  WP:USRD/NT#Combined articles instead, where, for example, the numbered segment of Kendall Drive and the non-numbered segment "are so tightly related that it would be difficult to write non-redundant articles about each". Zzyzx11 (talk) 02:49, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply

• The nominator's explanation doesn't do anything to explain why the article should be moved. How the road gets its notability is irrelevant; the questions are, is it notable (yes), and what do reliable sources tend to call the road? Powers ^T 13:40, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • As shown by sources in the article, the road is called either North Kendall Drive or just Kendall Drive. The State Road designation name, while not applying to the entire length of the road, is a neutral compromise. -DyluckTRocket (talk) 03:39, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • If sources don't call it "Florida State Road 94", why should we? bobrayner (talk) 22:18, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • That doesn't answer the question either. How can "Florida State Road 94" be a "neutral compromise" between two names that are very similar to each other but very different from the "compromise"? And that's ignoring the fact that the article appears to be about the entire road and not just the portion designated with the state highway number. Now, if you wanted to refactor the article to be about the state highway designation, rather than about the road, then the proposed title would probably be better.

• For what its worth, up until November 2012, there were two separate articles (SR 94 and this one) describing this stretch of road. I did not perform the merge, but I think it was done because Kendall Drive (the road) was longer than SR 94. –Fredddie™ 02:03, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
