This renaming is illegal. Renaming of highways must be approved by state legislatures or Congress, not a city Council. This happened because a renegade Governor, Wolf, permitted PADOT to illegally errct signs to recognize a sleezebag. 24.55.146.25 (talk) 00:56, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

President Biden Expressway → Central Scranton Expressway – WP:COMMONNAME. Pretty sure no one in Scranton calls the road "President Biden Expressway". LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 05:06, 5 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. Possibly no one in Scranton calls it that. But this article is not only for readers in Scranton. Walrasiad (talk) 05:49, 5 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oppose - The Scranton Times-Tribune seems to use the Biden Expressway moniker most often in all coverage since the renaming. Sounder Bruce 09:35, 5 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oppose - The official name is President Biden Expressway as evidenced by signs on I-81. Dough4872 02:27, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Oppose - People in Scranton could simply call it "The Expressway", obviously that wouldn't work. It's best to keep the title where it is. Estar8806 (talk) 21:18, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Oppose Unless someone shows that "Central Scranton Expressway" really is more commonly used, because among reliable published sources, it's predominately "President Biden Expressway" over the past year. Skynxnex (talk) 22:42, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oppose because reliable published sources use the presidential name since the expressway was renamed. V C 14:28, 7 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
