Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Jersey Street (Boston)/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

==Project ratings== I'm the original author of the article. I've tentatively given it a rating of "Start" and importance of "Mid" for all three projects. It's not quite a stub (it's short but informative), and Yawkey Way is well-known inside and outside of Boston, especially among baseball fans. Please feel free to correct either if you think I brought some bias to them. David (talk) 13:57, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yawkey Way → Jersey Street (Boston) – Street name legally changed in 2018, all sources now refer to it as Jersey Street. Currently, 'Jersey Street (Boston)' is a redirect to Yawkey Way, it should be the other way around.

This is a contested technical request (permalink). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 22:32, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Official name change, but it may be the that the WP:COMMONNAME is Yawkey Way. Also, the article describes only a portion of Jersey Street, so moving the page could be misleading. In any case, this certainly warrants a normal RM discussion in my view. Mdewman6 (talk) 22:23, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support—I did a bit of research looking at newspapers, looking at Boston and national/international papers. Results below. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 02:58, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
