2023 Washington Bridge closure → Interstate 195 bridge closure – I195 is a more recognizable road. Jax 0677 (talk) 15:22, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose According to our article about I-195, there are multiple bridges along its route, as it crosses multiple bodies of water. Naming this Interstate 195 bridge closure begs the question in the title of which bridge was closed, and when was it closed. I don't see any good reason to deviate from WP:NCEVENT and the standard when, where, what naming convention for events and incidents. Sideswipe9th (talk) 19:27, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose it's specifically a defect of the bridge, a specific point on the interstate. - Kzirkel (talk)
Oppose the bridge itself is named Washington Bridge, not "Interstate 195 bridge". Plus as above, there are mulitple I-195 bridges, so would be less WP:PRECISE. Dank Jae 03:43, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

Is this topic even notable? A bridge closure because of maintenance issues seems rather routine to me. Sideswipe9th (talk) 19:30, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hell, I would argue against this article, and I'm one of the people with the most inclusive views about roads here. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 19:46, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree I contributed a photo to the article, but I agree, it's a nothingburger in the larger scheme of things. It's not a catastrophic event, it's just a closing for a few months. It's more appropriate as a (brief) section on the Washington Bridge article. - Kzirkel (talk) 21:47, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the notability tag since there's an ongoing deletion discussion. IMO, no need for both banners. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:36, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
