ACDC Lane, Melbourne → ACDC Lane – Yes, it is a long way to the top if ya wanna to rock and roll. But as the only lane in Australia dedicated to a rock band,[1] this is a street that's payin' it's dues and has earned a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. ACDC Lane is already a redirect to this article. Googling "ACDC Lane" -wikipedia confirms the lane's primary topic status. Kauffner (talk) 13:54, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Usage examples

• "ACDC Lane (off Finder's Lane, a block and half from Swanston) celebrates the heavy metal rock group AC/DC." Night + Day San Francisco
• "In the heart of Melbourne's financial district, Corporation Lane was renamed ACDC Lane." AC/DC's Highway to Hell
• "ACDC Lane...there's nothing to see." Frommer's Melbourne Free and Dirt Cheap
• Here is a picture of a street sign, confirming that the name is in fact "ACDC Lane". Kauffner (talk) 13:59, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Survey

Support. I'm sure this is the only street of this name in Australia, and probably anywhere. Add to that its coverage in multiple reliable sources, and I'd say it qualifies as a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, with no need to disambiguate. Dohn joe (talk) 03:12, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

• Support except on the basis of precision and disambiguation and not on the basis of being the primary topic, which doesn't come into play at all until there exists another topic on Wikipedia with a sufficiently similar title that necessitates judging the two in relation to each other.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:49, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
• Support per WP:PRECISION, agree with Fuhghettaboutit. Note: Kauffner mentioned this RM at my talk page, but I wouldn't consider it canvassing as I would have seen the RM anyway and his comment was completely neutral and he did not ask me to vote or comment.
