POV-pushing on Lake Shore Drive
The sourcing that would be required to demonstrate that it is called DuSable Drive needs to be much, much stronger. The couple of tweets you added shows the opposite; that people are trying to force that term into common use, which means that it is not in common usage. A single handout, predating the compromise, is also insufficient. It is the very epitome of a primary source. What is needed is a secondary source or two that reports on what the public calls it, almost certainly from a poll, and that will take some time. Some of the applicable policies and guidelines are WP:CHALLENGE aka WP:BURDEN, WP:PSTS, [WP:RELIABLESOURCES, WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS, [WP:TOOMANYREFS]], WP:NPOV, and WP:OTHERNAMES within WP:COMMONNAME.

Hi Abductive! I'm certainly open to waiting for some more secondary sourcing on DuSable Drive, although I am a little puzzled why you think it's POV-pushing? Is it because the name change was controversial? I'm also not sure about your interpretation that the tweets I cited show that the writers are trying to "force [the] term into common use". They are using the new name, which certainly sounds odd to someone who isn't used to hearing it, but I don't see any evidence that it's "forced". Nlaporte (talk) 02:31, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
