Lexington Avenue (Manhattan) → Lexington Avenue –

• disambiguation is unnecessary –sumone10154^(talk) 06:43, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
• There are almost certainly other streets called Lexington Avenue across the world. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:57, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
• Agree with Anthony Appleyard - Jersey City has a Lexington Avenue, for instance, as does Cambridge, MA; Danville, KY; Mount Kisco, NY; Asheville, NC; Gloucester, MA; Toms River, NJ... Lexington doesn't have the general prominence that Park Avenue has, so the disambiguator is appropriate. Beyond My Ken (talk) 07:15, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
  • None of those streets have articles on Wikipedia. Lexington Avenue currently redirects to Lexington Avenue (Manhattan), not Lexington Avenue (disambiguation). –sumone10154^(talk) 19:21, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose – the street name alone lacks precision. Manhattan removes the ambiguity and provides sufficient precision, but not more than is needed to clearly establish the topic. Dicklyon (talk) 01:22, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose per Anthony A comment, Dicklyon. There is a universe outside wikipedia. Additionally amend Lexington Avenue from current redirect to Lexington Avenue (Manhattan) to Lexington Avenue (disambiguation). In ictu oculi (talk) 02:48, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
• Support we disambiguate from uses that are currently sufficiently notable to be on WP, not from uses insufficiently notable to have articles on WP. Disambiguation here is clearly not required, as Lexington Avenue redirects to this article! Q.E.D. To disambiguate in such obvious cases where [[X]] redirects to [[X (Y)]] opens up a whole Pandora's box of titles to debate, discord, disagreement, and debacle. --Born2cycle (talk) 00:37, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

The recently closed RFC at Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(geographic_names)#RfC:_US_city_names suggests that only about 30% of editors agree with your strict minimalist interpretation of how "we" disambiguate. Dicklyon (talk) 00:43, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

A third agree with me in a situation where many argue the issue is not even about disambiguation (because "city, state" is a common name for a given US city, not a disambiguation). There is no such argument here. --Born2cycle (talk) 17:47, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose move Lexington Avenue (disambiguation) to Lexington Avenue instead -- 70.24.250.26 (talk) 06:50, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
• Support. Having this at Lexington Avenue is not denying the others exist, it's because it's WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Zarcadia (talk) 12:07, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
• Support per Zarcadia. A look at the disambiguation page shows that the only articles we have are about this street or subway stations with this street's name in them. None of the other streets are notable enough even for their own pages, let alone to challenge the primariness of this street. Dohn joe (talk) 20:07, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
• Support; none of the other articles threaten this one for primacy. Topics for which we do not have articles (or even parts of articles) should not even be considered. Powers ^T 16:31, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
• Support That Lexington Avenue already redirects here suggests it's a settled primary topic. --BDD (talk) 17:30, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
