Talk:Nevada State Route 230

message: I think there are some errors with the information included in this article's recent expansion. The most notable of these errors is that the SR 230 was likely designated in 1976, not 1991/1992. I do not have the time to expand on this and verify now, but will try to do so soon. -- LJ ↗ 05:51, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Poll I added a picture of the "Deeth Starr Valley" sign with appropriate caption.  It has since been reverted .  I thought it added a measure of adequately-referenced and especially subdued levity to our exceptionally staid corpus while being consistent with the practice of including various images of the highway at one point or another, and it seemed especially relevant for this article as the western end of SR 230.  I won't do an edit war, so here's my poll. Restore, include with edits, or omit? -- ke4roh (talk) 03:25, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: As cute as George Takei's Facebook post was today (and as often as I've seen and even photographed that sign and thought exactly the same thing myself), I don't think its particularly relevant.  No need to include it.  Leave as is. Famartin (talk) 05:46, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: As the person who removed the image, I didn't find it terribly relevant, so I removed it. I have driven by that sign and never made that connection. Also, the reference in the caption was to one person's blog about a road trip, so that can't really be used as a reliable source. If there was actual media coverage of people making that mental connection, I could be swayed. -- LJ ↗ 20:29, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: To me, it's the only interesting thing about the road!  It has a location, length, and so forth, which ought be included, dates of construction and the like.  I reasoned it wasn't hard to get from "Deeth Starr" to "Death Star" and the proof bar would be commensurately low, so managed to find a blog that went so far as to mention other people who had made the same connection.  Now if the local paper would cover the spot of fame, we'd have the notability firmly established.  I'd like to see a call to the sign folks to ask the author about his Star Wars appreciation. -- ke4roh (talk) 01:03, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: 1) "To you" is relative.  2) Its unknown how long the sign has read that.  Interstate 80 through that area predates Star Wars, so its quite possible that the sign was designed before Star Wars and, other than replacement, is essentially unchanged since the construction of the interstate.

replies: text: This is simply taking two place names and putting them on a sign, and they happen to remind of a term from popular culture. While I appreciate the attempt at levity, I still think it's a stretch (especially as the two words are on different lines). Compare: There is a freeway exit along I-15 in Nevada named "Hidden Valley", and while every time I see the sign it makes me think of the brand of ranch dressing, I haven't added a picture of the sign to the ranch dressing article. -- LJ ↗ 02:36, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
