The result was speedy keep. Article has since been sourced although none of the sources mention "Columbia Transportation" but I assume the University only run one network?, Anyway sourced. (non-admin closure) –Davey2010^Talk 21:38, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable shuttle service, Nothing on Google News (except for 1 Columbia University page which doesn't appear to mention the shuttle) [1], No evidence of notability, Fails GNG. –Davey2010^Talk 12:01, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is how the article originally looked before I removed a few things and before things were slightly improved. –Davey2010^Talk 12:02, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What exactly to you mean by non-notable, Davey2010? I will be on the side of keeping the article until I hear your (or someone else’s) opinion against me. Best, MTATransitFan (Questions? Comments? Just want to chat? Click here) 12:56, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, the official website is transportation.columbia.edu. No wonder nothing came up when you searched “Columbia Transportation Shuttle”. It’s called “Columbia Transportation”. It is a VITAL transit option for the Columbia community. Best, MTATransitFan (Questions? Comments? Just want to chat? Click here) 12:58, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Davey2010 As you have not responded, I am assuming that it is ok to delete the AfD template and keep the article?

(edit conflict) -Searching "Columbia Transportation" brings up searches for that word but don't bring anything up for the shuttle service, I've also just searched for "Columbia Transportation columbia university" and that too brings up nothing, As it operates a shuttle service one would clearly expect to find results whether it's timetables, updates, etc etc,

In regards to "non-notable" please read WP:Notability, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 19:26, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Was just replying as you left that message - no it's not okay to remove the AFD template - the notability concerns haven't been addressed so as such chances are this article will be deleted unless the aforementioned issue is addressed, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 19:28, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Davey2010 Should it be merged into the larger Columbia article? If yes, I can easily transfer it there. If you don't respond, I'll move it there myself :) Best, MTATransitFan--Access my talk page here 15:50, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you've aready added it to Columbia University then it already says "Columbia Transportation is the shuttle bus service of the university, it operates between all campuses<cites>",

It could be redirected to the shuttle mention there but given the no-sources IMHO it'd be pointless. (if Columbia Transportation wasn't notable but there were various sources on it then sure I'd agree with redirecting but in this case given there's no sources so like I say I personally find it pointless), Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 18:51, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge to Academy Bus, operator of the services.Djflem (talk) 18:59, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
