Talk:Buford Highway
Questionable source
While I fully support an article for Buford Highway, I have to question the website The Buford Highway Project as a reliable source. It provides no references, is still under development, and the author's only credentials are that he is local so it appears very much like a blog.--RDavi404 (talk) 16:00, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Buford Highway → Buford Highway, Chamblee, Georgia – Articles about U.S. neighborhoods are usually named X, Municipality, State. Also, make Buford Highway a redirect to Georgia State Route 13. 2600:1700:6180:6290:EC64:EA7C:FD5F:B5B8 (talk) 23:35, 1 February 2025 (UTC) — Relisting.

- How about Buford Highway corridor? It is apparently not just in Chamblee, but also continues through other towns. — BarrelProof (talk) 03:24, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
- Buford Highway is primarily located in Chamblee. 2600:1700:6180:6290:D9A1:AD5C:A502:846E (talk) 23:34, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose - When reliable sources talk about Buford Highway, they are typically discussing the community along Buford Highway rather than SR 13 as a road (Example). Articles about US neighborhoods are disambiguated when needed, but it isn't needed here. - Aoidh (talk) 00:26, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
- Move to Buford Highway, Georgia per WP:USPLACE; I don't love that guideline, but I don't see any reason to deviate from it for this particular article. Per Aoidh, this is still the primary topic for "Buford Highway", so it should remain a redirect to this article if/when it's moved. jlwoodwa (talk) 06:24, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Jlwoodwa: WP:USPLACE says
are typically titled "Placename, State"
not that this is required. Titles should be concise and follow usage in reliable sources per the policy Wikipedia:Article titles (WP:CONCISE and WP:COMMONNAME specifically) and the current title is not contradicted by the WP:USPLACE guideline, which describes a typical place like Chamblee, Georgia and is not a requirement for all populated places. For example Little Five Points and Brooklyn (which had a similar RM at Talk:Brooklyn/Archive 2#Requested move 28 September 2016) do not follow this convention because like this article they are not the typical populated place for which this would apply. - Aoidh (talk) 18:42, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Jlwoodwa: WP:USPLACE says
- Oppose any move - this seems like a solution searching for a problem. WP:CONCISE should control. Buford Highway, Georgia is not as concise but it's much better than the proposed destination by virtue of not being so verbose. Red Slash 02:22, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- Buford Highway, Georgia, seems reasonable. — BarrelProof (talk) 05:27, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- If the common name is Buford Highway, and that's suitably recognizable, adding "Georgia" might just increase the ambiguity, not that anybody would rightly think there's a place called Buford Highway in the country Georgia. ASUKITE 16:51, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

New paragraph
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I am contributing to this article as part of a Digital Humanities project. I plan to add a paragraph to the page that expands on Buford's Highway's multicultural significance, focusing on immigrant communities, diversity, and the growth of international businesses along the corridor. This addition is supported by a reliable source from the Atlanta Regional Commission's "Buford Highway Corridor Study" (2019).
I believe this edit will strengthen the article by providing updated, well-cited information on the demographics and cultural aspect of the highway. Please let me know if you have any concerns or suggestions.
Thanks all. Kevinn803 (talk) 18:00, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
