The list of bus routes
There is no grounds for the removal of this list. WP:NOTDIR does not actually cover this and it is not attempting to be a travel guide - simply it lists the routes they operate. Surely this is plenty relevant to a bus operator article. Nobody is using it as a directory, so why claim as such? Please produce consensus to the contrary or I have the right to revert you [Davey2010] once more; if you revert that I will report you to administrators for sanctioning for edit warring.

 * 1) - It is a directory/travel guide ,
 * 2) - ALL routes can be found on the operators website
 * 3) - Routes are no longer unencyclopedic as I've been told many times by Charles & others
 * 4) - I have the right to revert you [Davey2010] once more; Lets correct you there - YOU DO NOT have any right!, You're edit warring as much as me here so spare the threats.

 * Since the list had a source and might even be accurate and up-to-date, that makes it better than most bus-route listcruft on wikipedia, but it's still listcruft. We're here to build an encyclopædia, not a mission to generate as many pages of text as possible. Rcsprinter123, in what way do you have "the right" to revert? bobrayner (talk) 14:09, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * When Davey2010 told me to "get a life", which I considered a bit rude, I went to an administrator for advice and they told me I had the right to revert. Sir  Rcsprinter,  Bt (lecture)  @ 14:46, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh and this isn't rude?, The "get a life" was a reply as I've said here!

I've looked at the article for 'Wikipedia:Listcruft' and I'm not sure there's a problem with having the list of routes. An example given there is that: it is appropriate "for the article on the fictional series character Rick Brant to include a list of the Rick Brant books." An article on Richards Bros having a list of their routes seems appropriate to me. Also, there are similar lists for some train operating companies etc. The arguments only arguments I can see against including the list are notability (the list is of interest to a very limited number of people) and volatility. As far as notabilitiy is concerned, I would guess that the list would be of interest to almost as many people as the article as a whole is of interest to. Therefore, volatility would be the only valid ground for removal in my view and in the case of Richards Bros they haven't gained/lost routes for a while, the only notable change I can think of recently being extension of service 550 from Synod Inn to Aberaeron Rhydgaled (talk) 14:35, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
