Article title[edit]

@Mccunicano:: The current title of this article, McDonough-Fayetteville Road, is a descriptive title rather than the name of any particular road, and I question whether anyone actually uses that descriptive name. Thus, the article title does not follow WP:COMMONNAME. I recommend changing the article title to a more common name. I have four suggestions, all of which have drawbacks but are more accurate than the current title.

Georgia State Route 920: This title depends on whether the highway is actually a state highway. If you can confirm the designation, this is by far the best title given how almost all state highway articles are named by number. You will need to supplement the newspaper article you reference in the article, likely with some GDOT sources.
McDonough Road: This title only covers 45% of the length of the highway, but it is unique in that area. The title already redirects to a list in Maryland, but the Georgia highway is significantly more notable.
Jonesboro Road: This title covers a little more than 50% of the length of the highway. Unfortunately, there are several other Jonesboro Roads in the area.
S. Truett Cathy Highway: This name covers 85% of the length of the highway (the 1999 resolution only covers the highway from SR 54 to I-75). The other 15% is a problem, along with, more significantly, whether people actually call the highway by that name.

At the least, all four of these titles should be a redirect to the article. V C 19:38, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Viridiscalculus:: Having lived along the road growing up, there were some people that called it by this name since that is what it was known as historically; however, the most commonly used names are Jonesboro Road or McDonough Road depending on which county one lives in. The Truett Cathy designation is hardly used in colloquial despite it being signed very visibly throughout the route. Here's a 2016 GDOT map of Henry County I just dug up showing SR 920 along the route. [1] [2] It is a designation used merely for the purpose of funding during state projects, but it is an official designation nonetheless. If the historic name that covers the whole route shouldn't be used, I would say the article should be called Georgia State Route 920 since it also encompasses the entire route.

Future article names[edit]

Also I would like to add that due to the temporary nature of the state route designation that when this route number is retired, the name of this page should revert back to either McDonough-Fayetteville Road or one of the other street names listed above and moved to Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Streets.Mccunicano (talk) 01:25, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"The road takes a winding path through the area theorized to be the setting for the Tara plantation in the novel Gone with the Wind after crossing the river" - source is a map, this is not supported by the source; apparently original research
"It passes to the north of Lovejoy High School before coming" - not supported by source. Source is a map from 1957, while the high school does not appear to have been in existence until later
Actually, that entire bit sourced to the 1957 map is not acceptable sourcing, as this highway did not exist in 1957
Most of the route section is actually uncited, as the two sources are 1) a map from before this highway existed and 2) a source about a memorial naming that supports only a single sentence
"This route is proposed to be included in U.S. Bicycle Route 15." - source is from 2010. Got an update on anything that happened with the proposal in the last 10 years?
"when white settlers began to occupy the area previously held by the Creek people after the 1821 and 1825 Treaties of Indian Springs," - source does not support this
HMDB is used to cite the Civil War content. HMDB is largely user-generated and is not reliable
"The reconfiguration was completed in 2020" - both sources predate 2020, so obviously not supported by sources
" and McDonough Road in Clayton and Fayette counties" - not explicitly stated anywhere, so is in the lead but essentially uncited
the sources should all state the publisher in the citation.

I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to fail this one. There's just too many instances of poor citations or instances where the sources don't support the text. Hog Farm _Talk 07:05, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
