...or only a certain portion, and, if so, which portion? paul klenk 13:15, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
The whole thing.
Why is there this tag on the page? For images does not seem like too many. Can we remove the tag? -- 216.195.221.106 20:30, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone besides me consider this poor layout? patsw ( talk) 03:08, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Fixed. I thought the two images were too similar to each other to both be in the article. I standardized the size and placement. The article could be helped with an image of one of those lamppost medallions which are unique to Sixth Ave. patsw ( talk) 19:04, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Even if no one calls it Avenue of the Americas, it still is officially the Avenue of the Americas, just like how people in Ho Chi Minh City still call it Saigon, but the page is officially the first. Discuss here. Nicholas.tan ( talk) 03:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
Actually, policy is *not* simply determined by common name. The most common name is the preferred name, but if it is not available then alternative names are preferred to parenthetical disambiguation. From WP:NATURAL:
It seems to me that policy therefore suggests a rename to Avenue of the Americas as preferable to Sixth Avenue (Manhattan). So whether the name is widely used within NYC is moot: it is, at least, widely recognized, and therefore serves as an alternative title, and policy is that such alternative titles are preferable to the currently-used parenthetical method.

Which cross -streets carry which flag(s)? Are every nation reresented? Cuba too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.90.50 ( talk) 22:14, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
The random picture of the Venezuela sign doesn't seem to contribute much to this page. There are more powerful pictures of Sixth Avenue in the Wiki Commons. I propose the picture be replaced.

The first sentence states:
Where reference 1 is dated 1978. This reference is well over 30 years old; it was written only slightly over 30 years after the name change, which has hence now persisted for over twice as long as it had when the source was written. I don't think this is therefore a valid source for present attitudes of New Yorkers to the subject. Can we find a more up-to-date one? JulesH ( talk) 09:17, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: move. ( closed by non-admin page mover) feminist ( talk) 09:40, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
– Pageviews Analysis verifies that Sixth Avenue in Manhattan has long been the highest-viewed article of any other listed on the disambiguation page; this would follow the same logic that is in place with Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, where it is recognized as the primary topic of its own term.

much more likely than any other topic, and more likely than all the other topics combinedconsidering all possible streets named this. -- Netoholic @ 05:42, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
