The pictures are out of date. New buildings have been built.

Merge with Sixth Avenue (Manhattan)

Not done. I realized my mistake after the fact. Epicgenius (talk) 00:33, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

I propose this for the same reason Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard and Seventh Avenue were merged, for more clarity. Epicgenius^{(talk to me • see my contributions)} 22:52, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any evidence that those articles were merged. Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard seems to have been created as a redirect. I support separating ACPJ Blvd from 7th Ave into its own article, for more clarity. These streets are separated by 2.5 miles and have never been connected. All they share is a common alignment on the grid system. Pburka (talk) 14:05, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Pburka. First, ACP Blvd was never a separate article that was merged with Seventh Avenue. Second, Lenox Ave and Sixth Ave are unconnected streets, separated by miles of parkland. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 04:01, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ACP and Seventh are also unconnected streets, "separated by miles of parkland". Also, that same alignment is the only thing keeping that article together. Epicgenius^{(talk to me • see my contributions)} 19:35, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll repeat what I said above: "I support separating ACPJ Blvd from 7th Ave into its own article, for more clarity." Pburka (talk) 23:25, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Um, okay. I don't object to that. Epicgenius^{(talk to me • see my contributions)} 00:34, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Pburka. Epicgenius, please get off this merger kick, I'm getting a bit tired of reverting your poorly thought-out, undiscussed, unilateral mergers. Stop. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:47, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

First, we don't need more articles than is necessary. Second, the articles I'm merging are quite related to each other. They are pretty thought out, I must say. Epicgenius^{(talk to me • see my contributions)} 20:38, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Upcoming Additions

i will be adding new sections to the article. the first section that i will be adding is the annual revenue that the Lenox avenue strips brings in. next i will be adding a section on retail rental which talks about how much retail businesses have to pay monthly in order to stay in business. lastly the restaurants that are currently in that area and that also attracts a lot of tourist and outside people that come to visit and are not from the harlem area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CJB415 (talk • contribs) 03:30, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome new content. Please make sure that you read and understand the policies on verifiability and original research. It's best if every addition to the article is supported by a reference to a reliable source. If you have questions or need help, feel free to leave a note on my talk page. Pburka (talk) 03:56, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

At first blush, your suggested additions seem somewhat problematic, and perhaps promotional - something that, say, a Lenox Avenue Merchants Association might like to see added to the article. That doesn't mean that they can't go it, but it raises two points. The first is the Pburka's comment is even more important if these additions are, as it seems they might be, skewed toward one point of view. The sources cited will have to be as pure as Caesar's wife - in other words, quoting a Merchants Association or a BID will not be sufficient, you're going to need something from the Times or Daily News or New York magazine, a source that is unimpeachable. Anything of the sort you're suggestion which gets added without a citation from a highly reliable source is not going to last long in the article.

The second point is that if you are in some way connected to an organization that has a particular point of view about Lenox Avenue, such as a Business Improvement District or a Merchants Association, or their P.R. representatives, then you should read our policies on editing with a conflict of interest and on Wikipedia not being a promotional medium. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:18, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your edit because it was badly written, badly formatted, and incorrectly placed. Try again when you have a better idea of what you're doing. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:14, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Page title

This needs to be moved back to Lenox Avenue because of WP:COMMONNAME (Lenox Avenue was the original name of this avenue, and also, there was no previous discussion about this page move). Malcolm X Boulevard was only co-named in the '80s. I've put in a re-move request already. If there are any objections, please reply. Epicgenius (talk) 00:25, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
