The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Should Pan-American Highway (North America) and Pan-American Highway (South America) both be merged to this article? Reasons would include avoiding needless duplication of content, or possible conflicts in content, when different pages have been edited or updated at different times by different editors. This would instead create a single, comprehensive article.
This would also have the benefit of a single talk page, instead of having discussions spread across two or three different pages, or having different editors discussing the same content on different pages, (either at the same to different times), leading to competing outcomes for the same content issues. Thoughts? - wolf09:37, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @TheWolfChild, this makes sense - we are talking about the exact same road but just in different continents so go ahead with it in my opinion. The International E-road network in Europe does not have a different page for every-single country, so don't know how this situation differs. Roads4117 (talk) 19:45, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Imzadi1979: The Trans-Canada Highway is found on both Vancouver Island and Newfoundland, each separated by bodies of water. Anyone wishing to travel those segaments from the mainland need to take a ferry, but we don't have separate articles because of that. I'm sure there's other examples, but surely you get the point. Furthermore, this page is called the "Pan-American Highway"... singular. The articles for the north and south legs require disambiguation. The content on both is essentially duplicated from the main article, (and vice-versa) or it should be. What's the benefit of having three pages for the same content, when it can all be easily and conveniently covered, and better kept up-to-date, by the single article? What's the downside here? - wolf06:24, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
When travelers discuss the Pan American Highway, and when they actually traverse it, it's not considered two separate entities. To reflect user experience and user search intent, merging the two articles makes sense. OurOffbeatLife (talk) 00:18, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
