Comment: I think I agree with your reasoning. Broadway, Seattle currently reads as if it were a suburb. Why is this a contested request?

Comment: I was the one requested this move. Let me just say I did NOT realize that this was about a street, not a neighborhood. Part of my confusion is the fact that the page is categorized as
Category:Neighborhoods in Seattle, Washington. Anyway, for what it is worth (since I was the one who requested the move in the first place) I support switching it back. I do think it should be clarified that this is a street, NOT a neighborhood. --

SmokeyJoe:: The street is signed as Broadway (as in the street signs say Broadway, not Broadway Ave). The article should be split between the neighborhood (
Broadway District, Seattle) and the street (which would be this article, since it extends out of the neighborhood. SounderBruce00:16, 7 July 2015 (UTC)reply
Also, the naming conventions for streets is generally to use STREETNAME (CITY/LOCATION), without a comma (which is usually used for neighborhoods/place names). SounderBruce00:17, 7 July 2015 (UTC)reply
You can't disregard street signs when talking about a street. That section can easily be included in my proposed Broadway District article. SounderBruce01:07, 7 July 2015 (UTC)reply
The skipping of obvious words on a street sign is not something to take definitively. If you move material to a new Broadway District article, that might be good, if there is really enough on the street itself to support an article. --

Most government agencies (Seattle DOT, Washington State DOT, King County Metro [the transit authority]) do not use the avenue suffix on Broadway, though it would technically count as one in the Seattle street naming system, so it's not all that appropriate to include Broadway Avenue even as an alternate name in the first place. I've been working on expanding this article
in my sandbox and there's plenty of history to include that I haven't gotten to in my notes. Not to mention the transit and bike sections, which will be chock full of information when I'm done with it (and getting this article to GA). SounderBruce02:25, 7 July 2015 (UTC)reply

Broadway Avenue and Broadway Avenue East
When I lived there in the late 1980's we called it "Broadway Avenue" (and "Broadway Avenue East"). This article has no mention of the "Avenue" part giving only "Broadway" (and "Broadway East"). Did this change officially at some point? (Or has it always been this way and I am just losing my mind??) Thanks
