I don't know - does the Santa Claus parade still go down 34th St or was just Macy's on 34th Street in the movie?
Well... the parade does not really "go down" 34th Street, and never did. The route (with a few minor detours) is essentially down Central Park West until it meets Broadway, and then down Broadway ... ending at 34th St (at the original Macy's store). Blueboar (talk) 13:27, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If this street is the primary topic for "34th Street", it does not need the qualifier. If this street is not the primary topic for "34th Street", 34th Street should not redirect here. See WP:PRECISION. (Unless the claim is that "34th Street (Manhattan)" is the WP:COMMONNAME for the street, in which case the article text needs to updated.)-- JHunterJ (talk) 10:51, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think there is an argument that this specific 34th street is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. For one thing, this is the specific 34th Street referred to in the title of the movie Miracle on 34th Street. Yes, there are many other 34th Streets around the world... but this one stands out as being the most well known. I would drop the disambiguation, and create a 34th Street (disambiguation) page to direct readers to the articles on other 34th streets. Blueboar (talk) 13:11, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Numbered streets, with extremely rare exceptions, such as Fifth Avenue, should always be disambiguated. The rule of thumb should be if you drop the name into a random conversation with a random person at a random place in the world, would they know what you're talking about. 34th Street doesn't make that cut, and being in the title of one film (or two, if you count the remake) doesn't do the job.

Then the unqualified name should be the disambiguation page, since none of the topics is clearly primary. Simple. -- JHunterJ (talk) 22:42, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
