Talk:Nevada State Route 582

Merger proposal

I proposed to merge Boulder Highway into Nevada State Route 582. Most of the text in the two articles is similar, yet the Nevada State Route article is more developed. Also, I don't think Boulder Highway is quite notable enough to warrant its own article, except for the fact that it formerly carried routings of multiple US highways (a fact also covered by the state route article). Thoughts? Ljthefro (talk) 21:17, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Merging is not unreasonable, however the two names are used to cover different stretches of the road. I'm not sure what solution is best. Also the Boulder Highway name is clearly the most common name and not using that name for the article would be a mistake in my opinion. The road may be notable in that it was the main entry to Henderson for many years. Vegaswikian (talk) 03:58, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

The Boulder Highway is entirely part of NV 582. Dough4872 05:47, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

• Support --Admrboltz (talk) 05:47, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
• Support as the roadway in its entirety appears to be part of the numbered route. --Kinu ^t/_c 06:44, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
• Support per nom. – TMF 08:05, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
• Comment I'm definitely ok with having one article cover the State Route and Boulder Highway. However, Fremont St. should probably be kept as a separate article, while it is also part of the state route, it has notability beyond highways. Dave (talk) 15:59, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
  • This merge proposal does not affect Fremont Street. Dough4872 19:27, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
    • OK, now I'm confused. If Boulder Highway completely overlaps 582 then why is Fremont St. in play. What exactly is the overlap? Vegaswikian (talk) 23:48, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
      • Sorry, didn't need to confuse the issue. SR 582 includes all of Boulder Highway and a portion of Fremont St. So there are 3 related articles. I'm ok with merging 2, but IMO Fremont should be kept separate. I'm aware that a 3 way merge was not proposed, and was only trying to prevent it from being proposed.

        • Most information that could ultimately be included in the Fremont Street article discusses aspects of the street that no longer overlap with SR 582. Thus, merging Fremont Street into SR 582 would be unwise. -- LJ ↗ 07:10, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
• Support. I proposed this merger over 2 years ago, but didn't follow through and merge tags were removed. -- LJ ↗ 07:05, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
