National Express bus routes in North Birmingham[edit]

Almost entirely empty, nothing notable, no assertion of notability, very short stub. I can't see any reason to keep. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 07:47, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unreferenced, incomplete and no assertion of notability. I notice that there was a contested speedy delete on the day of its creation, but as 7 months have passed since the last edit, it may have been worth trying a PROD instead of an AfD.

I wasn't entirely sure if I should since it has failed CSD already, so I brought it straight here. Discussion never hurt anyone. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 12:37, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Someone blanked a serious amount of the article before this got listed. We should establish whether this was done correctly or in error, to establish if the list is truly empty. I'm not good with UK georgraphy, so I'm afraid I'll have to leave it to someone else. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:05, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This shows the unchanged article, still fails under the stuff mentioned in the nomination as it has no assertion to notability. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 12:36, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

comment The major deletion (it wasn't complete blanking of the article) is explained in the edit summary - the routes deleted were for a different (albeit close) city. Springnuts (talk) 16:53, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Delete Thank you, Mgm, for pointing out that the nominated list wasn't complete. Anyhow, Wikipedia is not a travel guide, and the bus routes of North Birmingham aren't notable enough for inclusion. This isn't the London Underground; the individual routes aren't notable in themselves. Themfromspace (talk) 06:50, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTGUIDE and no source for notability.--Boffob (talk) 14:43, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- This is a potential maintenance problem. Bus routes are changed every few years, and timetables even more frequently. The bus company will certainly keep its website up to date. WE cannot be sure that a WP editor will. The right place for information on bus routes is accordingly the bus company's website. I do not think it would be satisfactory to take an article that merely consisted of an external link. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:54, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
