Talk:Quebec Route 389

It was suggested that this article should be renamed Quebec route 389. The vote is shown below:

• Can't find the talk page for this move - there are no clear links.

I say NAY on the move - the title convention for articles on Canadian highways is

(Province name) provincial highway (highway number). The page List of Quebec provincial highways is a long list of names following this convention.

Let's leave this article for 389 where it is and stick to the convention.

• Reply Quebeckers call these things "Routes", so in Quebec usage these are ROUTES. It doesn't matter what the rest of Canada calls their highways, because that's what they call *THEIR* highways. What Quebec english speakers call their highways is what the articles should be named. This is why the category Physicians for the UK is different than that for the US. 132.205.94.174 00:42, 25 July 2005 (UTC)Reply
  • NOTE: California State Route 138 vs New Jersey State Highway 138. As you can see, CALIFORNIA calls their state highways as "routes" while New Jersey doesn't. If you wish to call Quebec Routes as Quebec Provincial Highways, I suggest you rename California State Route for consistency with other states 132.205.94.174 00:47, 25 July 2005 (UTC)Reply
  • NOTE: New Brunswick Highway 2 is the article title, not New Brunswick provincial highway 2; there goes your vaunted consistency of naming of Canadian articles 132.205.94.174 00:56, 25 July 2005 (UTC)Reply
  • NOTE: Trans-Labrador Highway article is *not* at Newfoundland and Labrador provincial highway 500 132.205.94.174 00:58, 25 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

• "Route" is a common American identification. It probably is used somewhat in Canada, however, in most provinces, it is far more common to use "Highway".

What do English-speaking Quebeckers use? What do French-speaking Quebeckers used? Perhaps it would be good to get a handle on this, then, before the articles on Quebec highways proliferate, adopt that standard for the province.

"Autoroute" is the unquestioned standard for the four-lane divided highways that are known as freeways outside the province.

From what I can tell, the MTQ uses "Route 389" online. I suggest Route 389 (Quebec) for ease of use with the pipe trick. --SPUI (talk) 00:24, 3 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 18:22, 4 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
