 * I want to share some best practices for list articles of this genre.
 * Use the the city or location name as the heading for each section; The letter suffixes aren't going to mean a whole lot in the table of contents
 * Sort the sections in south-to-north order to keep them geographically lined up.
 * Something to note is that it isn't a good idea to duplicate section names because if someone tries to link to that section, they may end up in a different one.
 * Since these will all be short and fairly self contained, I wouldn't try to make separate route description subsections with separate history subsections. Just give them separate paragraphs.
 * I wouldn't put a true heading above the junction list tables; I just start the line with a semicolon so that the pseudo-heading appears in bold.
 * In fact, if there aren't any junctions for a business route except the termini, you can omit the table completely; if only one route in the whole list though would be missing a table, put one it anyway in the end.
 * Don't forget to create the redirects. That way will link to U.S. Route 287 Business (Vernon, Texas) which redirects to Business routes of U.S. Route 287 in Texas.
 * If any have separate articles, then they still need a summary here with the main hatnote at the top of the subsection.  Imzadi 1979  →   08:27, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Mansfield–Fort Worth summary
Business US Highway 287-P (BUS US 287-P) is a 38.613 mi business loop that serves as a main street for Mansfield, downtown Fort Worth and Saginaw. The loop was designated on January 14, 1991. It replaced a portion of Loop 496, and the old route of US 287 and US 81. The business loop was then rerouted several times during the 1990s.

 * Comments:
 * This section, if pasted into the article, doesn't need its junction list. Leave that level of detail to the main article on the business loop.
 * It does need an infobox and short summary. We could expand upon this a bit, but I'd try to keep it to a single paragraph without too much detail. Remember, the full article will have all of the details.
 * We just need to give the reader enough detail to place this business loop into context with the others, so I tried to touch on a few important highlights.
 * Honestly, I think the article should redirect here and after the content is fully merged in. –Fredddie™ 01:43, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, I agree, but if the article is left stand-alone, this is what should be done.  Imzadi 1979  →   02:46, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
