Article scope

An RM five years ago rejected the idea of moving this article to a title that reflects the fact that Broadway goes into the Bronx and Westchester. Looking at this article again, I think we should pare back this article so it only talks about the portion of Broadway in Manhattan, as one may normally assumed from the title. (Specifically, I'm looking to delete the Broadway (Manhattan)#Westchester County subsection and rewrite the lead to talk only about the 13-mile section of Broadway in Manhattan,)

The info about the Bronx and Westchester portions of Broadway can be adequately covered in the article U.S. Route 9 in New York, as Broadway is signed as US 9 for its entire length north of 179th Street in Manhattan. There is a lot more that can be added about Broadway within Manhattan itself, and I think we should refocus this article to be about the section of Broadway south of the Manhattan/Bronx border. I think the Bronx and Westchester sections are entirely duplicative of the US 9 (NY) article and that the article should really focus on the extensive history and culture related to the Manhattan section of Broadway. – Epicgenius (talk) 16:25, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
