List of National Express Coach routes[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Hugely long and outdated list with barely any sources, Fails WP:NOTDIR, WP:NOTGUIDE and WP:LISTCRUFT (The page is already over 150kb and I believe there's no way of splitting this up ?, Plus sourcing this would also be virtually impossible due to the page size), –Davey2010 • (talk) 22:16, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, WP:NOTDIR. Imo you would be barking mad to consult Wikipedia for this kind of information: the list is pointless unless kept up to date.TheLongTone (talk) 22:52, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for no reason other than per WP:REDLINK, to encourage creation of a more up to date, preferably factually correct (I have been to Crawley three times in the last two weeks and have found no evidence that any National Express coaches stop there! On Sunday, when the 420 goes to Crawley I'll have another look.) version of the article. With the exception of Bus Stations Used, which I have blown up as cruft, this is an encyclopedic article as a natural fork of National Express, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of bus routes in London (2nd nomination) sets a sort of precedent.--Laun chba ller 23:24, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If I'm honest I was in 2 minds whether to nominate or not, I'm also extremely surprised at how much you've just removed :). –Davey2010 • (talk) 23:38, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If in doubt, nominate because AfDs can always be withdrawn, and you can use my essay as an excuse.

As to the removal, I removed one section, in terms of bytes about an eighth of the page?--Laun chba ller 23:44, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's very true, Haha thanks for the essay :), I'm extremely surprised you managed it!, Felt like a lifetime waiting just to nominate it! lol –Davey2010 • (talk) 23:54, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
