I had nominated the article List of AC buses Bangalore for deletion. In the discussion this user stated that Wikipedia is not a public transport info page. So on the same criteria, I have nominated this article for deletion. It contains route info of BMTC. Abhishek191288 (talk) 05:22, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Perfectly encyclopedic list of transit routes in one of India's largest cities. What a single user said on an AfD of a different topic has nothing to do with notability nor consensus of this one. And bizarrely, the nom was also the nom in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of AC buses Bangalore in which he stated "There already exists an article listing the various routes of BMTC. I do feel that it is not required to have a separate article just to mention which of the routes are operated by AC buses. A separate section in the article Feeder and Metro BMTC Routes about what routes are operated by AC buses is quite sufficient." The nom seems confused as to his own preference. --Oakshade (talk) 06:21, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep/Merge - Abhishek191288 need to understand the policies of wikipedia not on somebody's comment regarding a deletion as its his own personnel opinion. Dragging another users comments to some other topics is not a good decision moreover you were the nominator of that one. This article can be merged to Transportation of bangalore topic...--...Captain......Tälk tö me 16:28, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. WP:NOTDIRECTORY and this article is just a directory. WP is not supposed to be a "complete exposition of all possible details" and a list of bus routes is not encyclopedic to me. - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 23:23, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Precedent has shown that verifiable lists of bus and other transit routes are perfectly acceptable on Wikipedia, and I see no reason why this example should be any different. Thryduulf (talk) 16:40, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
