The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: moved. Some strong arguments on both sides here. However, the general consensus is that in line with
WP:SHORTFORM, the "U.S. state" disambiguation is unnecessary. Opponents argue that the title is otherwise ambiguous, but supporters of the move counter that there are no "state routes" in the country of Georgia, so nothing to actually be ambiguous with.
Oppose clearly defines scope, and we should endeavour to add a list for the country of Georgia for unsupported ex-government roads and highways in that country. The word "
state" means "government" and also means "country", so can be contrasted as (government) "state route" or "private route" (such a private-tollway, or a private farm road) --

I see that, and I'm saying that this group (minus the DAB) is on the same topic (State routes in the US State of Georgia) – having the former roads disambiguated and the current roads not makes no sense. I have no major preference past that (though generally, if there's no competing article, disambiguation is unnecessary). Skarmory(talk •contribs)06:08, 15 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Oppose – The current guidelines might lead to the suggested move being the correct thing, but common sense says that the brackets are very helpful. Is the average reader supposed to know what the road network looks like in these two places and conclude that the suggested new title can only be about an American state? I think this is bordering geographical bias. --

Oppose This is an example of
WP:SYSTEMICBIAS with preference to the US. The core base term
Georgia itself is a DAB as it "most commonly refers to" the country or the US state. Arguments stating there are no former state routes the Georgia, the country, are rather embedded with prejudice that the reader would understand which Georgia this article is about based on the qualifier "former state routes" rather than "country" and "US state". The other RM
Talk:List of state routes in Georgia#Requested move 1 May 2023 should also be overturned [at an MR]. This is not a case of
WP:OVERPRECISION rather a proper case of DAB. —
