Lexington Avenue (Manhattan) → Lexington Avenue –

disambiguation is unnecessary –sumone10154^(talk) 06:43, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There are almost certainly other streets called Lexington Avenue across the world. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:57, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with Anthony Appleyard - Jersey City has a Lexington Avenue, for instance, as does Cambridge, MA; Danville, KY; Mount Kisco, NY; Asheville, NC; Gloucester, MA; Toms River, NJ... Lexington doesn't have the general prominence that Park Avenue has, so the disambiguator is appropriate. Beyond My Ken (talk) 07:15, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- None of those streets have articles on Wikipedia. Lexington Avenue currently redirects to Lexington Avenue (Manhattan), not Lexington Avenue (disambiguation). –sumone10154^(talk) 19:21, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – the street name alone lacks precision. Manhattan removes the ambiguity and provides sufficient precision, but not more than is needed to clearly establish the topic. Dicklyon (talk) 01:22, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Anthony A comment, Dicklyon. There is a universe outside wikipedia. Additionally amend Lexington Avenue from current redirect to Lexington Avenue (Manhattan) to Lexington Avenue (disambiguation). In ictu oculi (talk) 02:48, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support we disambiguate from uses that are currently sufficiently notable to be on WP, not from uses insufficiently notable to have articles on WP. Disambiguation here is clearly not required, as Lexington Avenue redirects to this article! Q.E.D. To disambiguate in such obvious cases where [[X]] redirects to [[X (Y)]] opens up a whole Pandora's box of titles to debate, discord, disagreement, and debacle. --Born2cycle (talk) 00:37, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The recently closed RFC at Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(geographic_names)#RfC:_US_city_names suggests that only about 30% of editors agree with your strict minimalist interpretation of how "we" disambiguate. Dicklyon (talk) 00:43, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose move Lexington Avenue (disambiguation) to Lexington Avenue instead -- 70.24.250.26 (talk) 06:50, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
