Nontrivial coverage

[edit]

Where are the reliable secondary sources with nontrivial coverage? The sources listed seem to be primarily maps, subway schedules, and a gazetteer of place names, rather than anything in-depth about this particular road. Which is fine for a basic level of Wikipedia coverage, I guess, but is it really enough to support a good article nomination? —David Eppstein 18:57, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The NY-164 - City Line Expressway reference is particularly excellent to show planning which went into this road. This article meets the above criteria. SriMesh | talk 04:20, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gun Hill rd does not come close to being in Morris Park at any point. The beginning of the street that they reference near the Hutchinson Parkway exit is over near Home Depot, that is not even close to being Morris Park. Cant say I know exactly what that neighborhood is called but it is, without any doubt, not Morris Park. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jnatch (talkcontribs) 13:31, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 14 March 2016

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Gun Hill Road (road). Definite consensus to move, but I can see the argument suggested by AjaxSmack, that the other titles (particularly the Subway stations) could be classed as "Bronx" as well, so going with their suggestion of "road". Note: move of the dab page will require admin assistance, which I will request after sorting the incoming links. (non-admin closure)  — Amakuru (talk) 17:12, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]



Gun Hill RoadGun Hill Road (Bronx) – The road is not the primary topic and should be turned into a disambiguation page. The film has 4393 views in the last 90 days compared with only 2424 for the road. Inwind (talk) 09:21, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: not moved. A good case has been made that "Gun Hill Road (Bronx)" is unfortunately ambiguous. No prejudice against a new RM if an alternative to the slightly awkward "(road)" can be found. Jenks24 (talk) 17:01, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]



Gun Hill Road (road)Gun Hill Road (Bronx) – Compared to Gun Hill Road (IRT White Plains Road Line) and Gun Hill Road (IRT Dyre Avenue Line), this has more page views, so it is the relative primary topic, so I propose that the article be moved to the title it had before its 2013 renaming. epicgenius, presented by reddit.com/r/funny (talk) 00:12, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No one who isn't intimately familiar with Wikipedia titling jargon would search for any title with a parentheses. They're just there to distinguish on topic from others of the same name, so they should fully distinguish the article. I'd be OK with (Bronx), but (road) is certainly more precise.--Cúchullain t/c 19:47, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment — I was surprised to discover that the non-disambiguated version Gun Hill Road was never used for the article about the road. Have we ever considered moving the road article to the undisambiguated title? The road seems to be the primary topic, and both Subway stations and the film derive their names from the road.  V 12:33, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    @Viridiscalculus: actually the article was at the plain title Gun Hill Road until a week ago. See the move request further up on this page. That had unanimous support from four contributors to move to a no primary topic scenario. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 12:48, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – there is no consensus on whether WP:PDAB is valid. Best to keep the status quo. The current title is more accurate. SSTflyer 12:22, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This was somehow missed in GA Sweeps

[edit]

@Epicgenius: This article is nowhere close to being a GA, despite being listed. Do you think that this article should be reassessed? Thanks.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 12:20, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kew Gardens 613, I agree. This and East 233rd Street (Bronx) might need reassessment, since the history sections of both articles lack a lot of information. Currently, these articles are structured similarly to good articles about rural roads, but the difference is that rural roads do not have a lot of history and are relatively straightforward, unlike these two pages. epicgenius (talk) 13:48, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
