List of National Express Coventry bus routes[edit]

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

Wikipedia is not a travel guide. It is not clear that this article could ever be particularly useful to people interested in taking a National Express, given that one would have to refer to their web site to confirm what time it runs, and where to get on the bus. Also it has no sources. A merger with National Express Coventry may also be a possibility. Wilbysuffolk (Talk to me!) 18:37, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY, failure to satisfy WP:GNG, and the localized and potentially transitory nature of the information. Praemonitus (talk) 20:28, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
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 21:05, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is no indication that this subject meets WP:GNG. It also fails WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOTTRAVEL. This is no more notable than a list of convenience stores would be.--Charles (talk) 22:29, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - very clearly fails GNG. Blue Square Thing (talk) 22:33, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as not notable Davey2010 Talk 00:23, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:PRODUCT and there is already some route information in National Express Coventry to cover the key points per that policy. Also fails WP:NOTTRAVEL as a guide to routes from A to B, WP:NOTDIR as a directory of Route information. finally fails the general notability guidelines as it can only ever be sourced to primary sources.

Delete—fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTTRAVEL. Lists like these should be transwikied to Wikivoyage rather than left on Wikipedia. Imzadi 1979 → 00:53, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and other "delete" recommendations above. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:35, 30 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) 17:02, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
