Stadium Freeway (Wisconsin)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The only source listed for the unbuilt portion is self-published, and the existing portion of the route is covered by two other existing articles (Wisconsin Highway 175 and Wisconsin Highway 341). -happy5214 01:38, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Wisconsin Highway 175 since the current extent of Stadium Freeway is part of that route, no need for a separate article.  Dough   4872   01:47, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment The problem with that is that the highway has been oft-designated under various numbers and the current talk is that the 175 designation may be removed as a current plan sees it converted to a surface boulevard. Then there's Wisconsin Highway 341, which both no longer exists and has been split into two different municipal designations; Brewers Blvd. in Milwaukee, but remaining Miller Parkway in West Milwaukee because of that town not wanting to fall into Constant Stadium Renaming Syndrome and replacing signs every few years. It is a mess though, that much I completely agree with.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 04:21, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * We should merge Wisconsin Highway 341 into the WI 175 article since the entire extent of WI 341 was replaced with WI 175. Even if Stadium Freeway is converted into a boulevard and no longer is part of WI 175, the history of it should still be covered in the WI 175 article since it was once part of it.

 * Redirect to Freeways of Milwaukee since there's an entry there. (full disclosure: I started that page) –Fredddie™ 18:15, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Waiting to see if any more sources come up but I would lean towards redirecting this somewhere. --Rschen7754 20:38, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment There are gobs of articles, under this name, in the main Milwaukee papers that newspapers.com does not have (1,261 total hits), and route numbers are rarely used in this historical coverage. It looks like, at some point, it had North and South legs. The history seems quite long and involved, and I'd be willing to partner with someone with more experience in this topic area to identify needed newspaper sourcing and clip it from GenealogyBank or NewsBank.

 * Keep per Sammi Brie and Mrschimpf (great to see your name again Nate!). Would gladly take you on the partnership offer Sammi. -- Dolotta (talk) 13:41, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
