Requested move 22 September 2016
[edit]- 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. bd2412 T 04:10, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
– 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. — AjaxSmack 19:37, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- 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. Steel1943 (talk) 22:34, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- 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". — AjaxSmack 02:33, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
- 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. — Amakuru (talk) 14:26, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
- Support both, the DAB should go somewhere for the moment. AfD it later if it really offends, but it looks harmless to me. Andrewa (talk) 02:00, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
