Pleasant Ave
editI am not sure who is doing these revisions, but as a NYC employees with the Planning division, I can assure you are wrong. Pleasant ave is not a continuous part of any other avenue, miles separate it from any other avenue. What you are stating is incorrect. And former names used 100 years prior, do not constitute merging, if that was the case, then boros of NYC should be split since they have only been under the NYC moniker for 125 years, but originally were their own cities, excluding Queens as part of a county. Please stop merging names split 100 years ago.
- The boroughs of NYC are split. Pleasant Avenue is very marginally notable, only because of its former Italian population. Besides, Avenue B and East End Avenue are the same article, as are 8 Ave and Central Park West, 9 Ave and Columbus Ave, etc. These too were split over 100 years ago, but we still keep them.

I meant by comparing boros, you should not have boro pages then and just consolidate all boros under the NYC page, since boros are part of a grandeur scheme. Ave B and East End ave should also not be considered continuous. 8 ave and Central Park West connect to each other, as does 9 ave and Columbus ave and are just renamed streets. Pleasant ave is not continuous with any other avenue, and since it has a history, albeit a violent one, as do many streets in Manhattan, it should not be combined with any other street. Many streets merge into each other and are continuous and still have different pages, do to the difference in street character and makeup of neighborhood. Combining streets that do not connect for the sake of nothing (saving disk space for Wikipedia perhaps) is false information to readers.
- So these articles should be combined, then. Epicgenius (talk) 03:12, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
Is your first language English? What i described is exactly why they should not be combined. They are separate justifiably articles. Do you have a degree or any classes in NYC Sociology and/or history to be deciding these subjects? You are not an authority on this.
