- SOLID AGAINST – @NE2: has requested a merge of SR 159 to US 321. Please note that US 321 is not broken into state articles at this time, nor is their a reason to mix state routes with US Routes. I am whole heartily AGAINST this merge. --WashuOtaku (talk) 02:55, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- Do you realize SR 159 is simply a secret designation for a portion of US 321? --NE2 03:10, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- A lot of Tennessee state highways play the hidden overlap game, but it doesn't make them any less highways of the state. I don't believe it should incorporate a small segment while a possible larger segment gets its own page... or are we going to incorporate SR 32, SR 34, SR 35 and SR 73 in similar fashion? It seems crazy to have a route from the state line to Lenoir City and have a second sub article incorporated only regarding a section in Carter County. My argument is that the state feels these are separate highways and we should treat them as such; combining is too reminiscent to what happened with the U.S. Route 15-501 in North Carolina debacle, which eventually was broken-up. --WashuOtaku (talk) 14:53, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- The state doesn't feel they're separate highways. It's a quirk of the way the state numbers its highways. In other states, we have Florida State Road 10 (which concentrates on the part that's not US 90), Alabama State Route 13 (ditto), and Georgia State Route 1. Since any details about SR 159 are also relevant to US 321, a separate article is merely redundancy for the sake of redundancy. --NE2 15:42, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- You just shared two state highways that have their own articles; while the big difference between Georgia SR 1 and Tennessee SR 159 is one is across the state in complete concurrency and the other is just a segment. --WashuOtaku (talk) 16:04, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, it's a segment of a longer route. Would we have a separate article for U.S. Route 321 in Tennessee east of State Route 67? No.

So long as all of SR 159 is a part of US 321, it should redirect. –Fredddie™ 17:59, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- I agree with redirecting, but we should wait until a proper Tennessee-specific US 321 article is created before redirecting. VC 23:01, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Redirect SR 159 to US 321 as all of SR 159 is an unsigned designation for US 321. Preferably, U.S. Route 321 in Tennessee should be created along with the NC and SC state detail articles. Dough4872 00:18, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support this idea. Redirect for now; if/when the state-specific US 321 article is created, the content can be found in the history. --Kinu t/c 03:55, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
