Ang Mo Kio Bus Depot (SBS Transit)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable bus depot, all information about it is either by SBS Transit or are fanpages. Thus, most likely fails GNG. R22-3877 (talk) 03:46, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Just another bus station, nothing to suggest that it is notable.TheLongTone (talk) 16:04, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment any differences with this article as well: Ang Mo Kio Bus Depot (SMRT Buses)? Ajf773 (talk) 02:22, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- In what manner, may I ask? They are apparently located at different locations, but are near one another. R22-3877 (talk) 06:22, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Looks equally notable/non-notable, just wondered it it's worth bundling it? Ajf773 (talk) 09:51, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - Bundled. R22-3877 (talk)
By the way Delete as non notable bus station, run of the mill, just nothing special about it at all. Ajf773 (talk) 09:51, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like more of them are fond of Delete. Many of the bus terminals in Singapore had removed their pages, others will be the next to go - Lim Chu Kang Bus Terminal and Tuas Bus Terminal will be one of them. SBS3800P (talk) 10:22, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related page because it is similarly non-notable, and thus also fails GNG:

Might as well delete all the bus garage pages / bus terminal pages. It fails GNG and non-notable. SBS3800P (talk) 02:16, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge (or redirect) to List of bus stations in Singapore per WP:ATD. While it may not be individually notable, a bus depot is a public transport landmark. Collectively, these play an important role in a city. At the very least, a list of these should be kept which will be useful. As we already have an article about a list, I think we can merge. If there is contention about a merge and what content to merge, at I would request a redirect which preserves the history.--DreamLinker (talk) 18:26, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Since in Singapore context, a bus depot is more like a bus garage than a bus station, so I don't see redirecting the article to List of bus stations in Singapore being relevant. R22-3877 (talk) 06:12, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - I would say bus station is actually an umbrella term. A subheading of bus depot is fine and can be included in the article. The reason I say is because bus depots (particularly if they house more than 100 buses) are fairly large structures which stay over time. Considering that we have articles for every single railway station, a bus depot would be equally significant. I am not arguing for a separate article but I think a redirecting to a list is fine. A list of bus depots in Singapore would be informative to readers as well. Currently we only have the List of bus stations in Singapore as an umbrella article, so I would prefer to redirect it there. In the future is someone does research, they could potentially create a new "List of bus depots in Singapore"--DreamLinker (talk) 14:39, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Come to think of it, a list of bus depots would be interesting, particularly if the data could be presented in a tabular format with the opening dates, bus capacity, ___location, owner and other information. That would be helpful and serve the purpose of an encyclopaedia.--DreamLinker (talk) 15:27, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A depot is not notable because it houses buses.Charles (talk) 10:53, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am curious is there is anybody else who is specifically opposed to redirection to List_of_bus_stations_in_Singapore#Depots_and_bus_parks (or any other article). I myself do not support it staying as an independent article but I do want to keep a redirect with the history preserved. Considering that WP:Redirects are cheap, I don't see a problem with this.--DreamLinker (talk) 15:33, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - In the UK atleast bus depots are where buses are maintained and stored .... so if this is the same in Singapore then there's absolutely nothing notable about it, If on the other hand it's a bus station then it could be notable however nothing on Google's coming up for me so this either way fails GNG, I object to redirecting as nothing needs preserving, We don't preserve crap like this at all. –Davey2010^Talk 04:22, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
