List of newly-formed bus routes in Brooklyn[edit]

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

Much of this article is duplicative with List of bus routes in Brooklyn, the route descriptions are very detailed, Wikipedia is not a timetable, just a reference encyclopedia, so not all the transfers need to be listed. As for histories, most of it is already in the main list, either as bulleted notes or as "hidden text" (comments) next to those notes.

Delete Unnecessary fork of List of bus routes in Brooklyn. Any encyclopedic information that isn't already at the main list can be merged there, but I see no need to leave behind a redirect. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 22:46, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and merge if desired. This provides historic information that makes it more than a timetable. If merged, keep the redirect so anything not merged can be dug out in the future. --NE2 04:18, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, and merge with List of bus routes in Brooklyn. Nakon 04:19, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete—unclear criteria for inclusion. What does "newly-formed" mean? This decade, this year, this month, this week? At least one of the bus routes mentioned in the article dates from the 1980s, which doesn't seem "newly-formed" to me. Perhaps an article such as List of bus routes in Brooklyn formed in the 2000s would be appropriate if it is really desirable to track bus routes by foundation date, but not this. –Grondemar 04:23, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, maybe merge to List of bus routes in Brooklyn if that's preferred. Unclear criteria, no independent notability, unneccesary content fork, parts of it apparently original research --> not worth keeping. Alzarian16 (talk) 14:44, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, it's original research to decide whether or not a bus route is newly-formed. Stifle (talk) 18:52, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
