A249 road → A249 – There is no article called A249 on Wikipedia, and a google search for "A249" returns hits about this road in the first four pages (mostly news reports on the Sheppey Crossing accident). Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, the article should simply be called what all the sources refer to it as. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:37, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The current name is in the standard format for A-roads and there's no reason to make the A249 an exceptional case. Timrollpickering (talk) 15:03, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The current name complies with the consistency characteristic of WP:NAMINGCRITERIA. The Great Britain road numbering scheme-related articles use this same convention. I think the OP meant to cite WP:COMMONAME, but even it states that, "Editors should also consider [WP:NAMINGCRITERIA]. Ambiguous or inaccurate names for the article subject, as determined in reliable sources, are often avoided even though they may be more frequently used by reliable sources."

Oppose As above. Its ambiguous, and contrary to the naming convention used consistently across all other British A-Road articles. --Rushton2010 (talk) 02:34, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
