Talk:M-16 motorway (Pakistan)

EXPRESSWAY not MOTORWAY

The Swat Expressway is NOT a motorway so kindly stop reverting the edits. Calling something a "motorway" won't make it a motorway. The current Nowshera Chakdara road is being built to EXPRESSWAY grade...not Motorway grade. For political purposes the word "motorway" is being used to "wow" people. In reality, it's just childish and incredibly stupid of both the federal and provincial governments in indulge in such ridiculous behaviour. Some sources which also call it EXPRESSWAY are https://www.dawn.com/news/1310653 and https://tribune.com.pk/story/1157151/development-project-groundbreaking-swat-expressway-next-month/. --PAKHIGHWAY (talk) 17:47, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

It was formerly "Swat Expressway" but now under construction "Swat Motorway". In fact Swat Expressway is being upgraded to Swat Motorway.

I believe it will be better to merge "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swat_Expressway" into "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=M-16_motorway_(Pakistan)&redirect=no". And delete "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Swat_Motorway&redirect=no". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karachi Kings Dr (talk • contribs) 19:34, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

@Karachi Kings Dr: Please do not move pages by cut & paste. From the editing and page moving history and the discussion on Talk:Swat Expressway, this is clearly a contested move. The majority of the cited sources still call it Swat Expressway. I am not familiar with the distinction between the terms "expressway" and "motorway" as used in Pakistan. To me, these words are more-or-less synonyms. You were already advised in the edit summary here to start a discussion to gain a consensus to change the title of this article. Please follow the instructions at WP:Requested moves. Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 01:24, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Karachi Kings Dr, would this not be a reason to name it "Swat Motorway"? (please  mention me on reply; thanks!) Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:27, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
