Why is this article about Pullman, WA?[edit]

I came to this article after seeing red brick roads in various towns in Texas. I expected it to be a general article about red brick roads everywhere. Why is it about this one specific insignificant place, Pullman? Why doesn't it say anything meaningful about the general history of using red bricks for roads? Why doesn't it discuss the advantages and disadvantages of red bricks as a road construction medium? Bryan (talk) 04:51, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@BryanKaplan: You seem to be asking why this article (whose name is a proper noun) isn't a different article. Brick road (the common noun) is currently a redirect to a section of Road surface. You are very welcome to expand that if you hae anything solidly cited to add. - Jmabel | Talk 02:28, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Jmabel Do you know of any source claiming that "Red Brick Roads" is a proper noun and not a general descriptor? If you're right that it's a proper noun then the article should be renamed to something like "Red Brick Roads of Pullman, WA". Bryan (talk) 02:34, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

@SounderBruce: I see you put the "notablity" tag on this a few years back. Isn't inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places sufficient to qualify as notable? - Jmabel | Talk 02:30, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In its current state, the article might be better off as a redirect with possibilities. NRHP inclusion seems to not be an automatic sign of notability nowadays. Sounder Bruce 02:35, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
