Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/16th-Carrville (VIVA)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete, the keep opinion is not really policy based (that they aren't just bus stop stations but BRT stations makes no difference, they are just spaced farther apart basically) and doesn't address the "fails the GNG" aspect of the nomination. Merging to a list of non notable stations isn't really helping either. Tghe logical, easy solution is to list all stations of a certain line, on the article for that line, and to only have separate articles for truly, individually notable stations.

These articles fail WP:NOTGUIDE, WP:INDISCRIMINATE, and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. There's nothing notable about any of these bus stations (fail WP:GNG), and they shouldn't have their own articles. I have no idea how so many of them have managed to survive for six years, but it's time to get rid of them. Slon02 (talk) 16:08, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following stations for deletion. I have kept VIVA terminals, as well as VIVA stations that are part of a larger (such as subway) transport system, out of this AfD:

Speedy Delete along with this article:

due to the same reason Slon02 has. If this is the case then definitely terminals and BRT stations on a grade-separated transitway should remain. (Singh001175 (talk) 02:57, 28 June 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Delete massive buscruft. If someone wants to take it upon themselves to merge/redirect to Viva (bus rapid transit) I would not object, but otherwise just delete. (To closing admin: Be sure to delink any incoming links to pages when deleting!). Neutrality^talk 05:27, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep (changed from "Keep")- These aren't just bus stops but rapid transit way stations o~~n dedicated right-of-ways like Boston's Silver Line, very much in the same sense as rail stations.~~ This batch nomination is way too big for for an AfD with an unmanageable amount of possible opinion combinations. WP:INDISCRIMINATE does not apply as the topic of transitway stations are very discriminate and not a "Plot-only description of fictional works," a "lyrics database" or an "excessive listing of statistics" which are what WP:INDISCRIMINATE forbids and there is nothing about WP:NOTGUIDE which applies to transitway stations. --Oakshade (talk) 06:53, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Unfortunately as of now, VIVA doesn't have dedicated lanes (neither Zum does), other than the one along Enterprise Drive. YRT/Viva transit fans can definitely recreate all the Vivastations once the permanent rapidway structure is completely done and that is by the next decade.

Merge These are all regular bus stops, except for Warden, which is a BRT stop, and Markham Stouffville Hospital, which YRT considers as a terminal. However, even though they do not warrant separate articles, they do have useful information, so they should simply be merged into the Other Vivastations page. Regarding Viva's lack of bus-only lanes: In addition to the Enterprise Rapidway, Viva also uses the York University Busway, and although it does not have any stops on bus only roads, Murray Ross and Dufferin Finch have dedicated bus lanes, and the southbound platform at Dufferin-Finch even has a bus-only passing lane in addition to the bus bay.
