Broadway → Broadway theatre – Broadway currently redirects to Broadway (disambiguation). There are a large number of links to Broadway, and the vast majority of them appear to be about Broadway theatre. Currently, Broadway theatre has about 2000 articles linking to it, whereas Broadway (New York City), the second most common meaning of the word, has about 200 articles. It seems to me that because the primary meaning of Broadway is Broadway theatre, the article should redirect there with a disambiguation link at the top -- Bill 20:29, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I disagree with your move of Broadway to Broadway (disambiguation). A couple of months ago, I spent a lot of time disambiguating Broadway, and I found that by far, the vast majority of links to Broadway (> 80%, would be my guess) needed to be redirected to Broadway theatre. There aren't very many now, since I fixed them all recently. -- rogerd 01:39, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
The theatre, by that name is very different from the theatre in general in NYC being referred to as Broadway theatre... There should be an article on this and the guidelines do provide for a red link that needs an article. Doc 01:46, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
I separated Broadway theater from articles about theaters named Broadway, since they're not really in the same categories. Also, I moved the physical theaters below the streets, since the theaters are named after the street. -- Mosmof ( talk) 12:35, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Should we mention somewhere in the article that Broadway is a common name for streets in the United States? Purplebackpack89 ( talk) 18:27, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Apparently it is a street in London so should be among other streets In the British Isles.

@ Slightsmile: not sure what you're trying to do here. In desktop view adding Clear has introduced unnecessary white space. Shhhnotsoloud ( talk) 13:26, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
