  I'm a big fan of WP:UE, but something like Motorway 1 strikes me as potentially ambiguous. Also, some reliable sources establishing the common name would be required. 162 etc. (talk) 19:44, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Is there any evidence for them being referred to as Motorway 1 etc in English language sources? Unless and until there are, oppose. Kevin McE (talk) 23:23, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose: A highly ambiguous self-translation without an apparent basis in English-language reliable sources and without any assertion of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC status. Motorway is a redirect to Controlled-access highway, and Highway 1, etc., are set list pages or disambiguation pages with lots of entries. All of the suggested destinations should be redirected to the same destinations as "Highway X" (except Motorway 7 (Turkey), of course). Note also that Motorway 1 (Greece) and similar article names or redirects already exist with preemptive disambiguation. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:00, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
