This article alone is not notable and should be either deleted or merged into the Southern Vectis article. Wilbysuffolk (Talk to me!) 12:19, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Currently happy to support merge into Southern Vectis article - But this article is problematic as it acts as an index page for several limited notability bus route articles which probably fail WP:PRODUCT a nomination with deletion of them would free this index list to be deleted as well all relevant information could be retained in Southern Vectis article.

Keep They are notable equally to other forms of transport which are never deleted. Primary sources are perfectly valid for this as they are more reliable. It isn't a subject that secondary sources would mention but are still notable. Adam Mugliston talk 21:16, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can I, seriously, check that you realise which article you've put this comment on please. It's not a "list of bus routes in xxx" one, you know that, yes? Blue Square Thing (talk) 22:34, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge partly, with a summary of key routes and so on rather than simply taking the entire content and dropping it somewhere else. Otherwise delete. Blue Square Thing (talk) 22:35, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is no indication that this subject meets WP:GNG. It also fails WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOTTRAVEL. There is no need for these type of lists within bus company articles as the information can be found on the company's own website where it is a lot more likely to be accurate.--Charles (talk) 22:41, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete—fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTTRAVEL. Lists like these should be transwikied to Wikivoyage rather than left on Wikipedia. Imzadi 1979 → 00:59, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Transwikify to wikivoyage then Delete -- all these bus routes articles should be killed off wholesale in WP, as non-encyclopedic: WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOTTRAVEL. There is a particular difficulty with them, in that they need maintenance, because bus operators start new services or discontinue them. Once the original editor (creator) loses interest, there is no guarantee that they will be adequately maintained. In contrast the bus operators and Passenger Transport Executives (and similar authorities, such as county councils) can be expected to keep their own websites up to date. In contrast, a railway (or tram system) has fixed infrastructure that cannot easily be changed. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:42, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
