Bus Services in York

All of this fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:NOTE and is mostly a coatrack article by the sockpuppeting WP:TE WP:SPA Josh24B. Ian.thomson (talk) 20:04, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete -- I have grave doubts as to the wisdom of having lists of bus routes, due to the problems of keeping them maintained when the creator loses interest. The list of PSVs used by the opoerators is certainly non-encyclopaedic.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:34, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * The article could probably be improved to meet requirements, if someone has access to sources, but most of the editing has been from accounts now blocked as sockpuppets. Most of the content seems appropriate if it can be verified, but the fleet lists are unlikely to be maintainable to Wikipedia standards. Peter&#160;James (talk) 21:02, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure fleet lists also goes against WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:03, 2 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per Peterkingiron. There are unlikely to be reliable secondary sources to establish the notability of this subject. Wikipedia is not intended to be a travel guide and people should not be looking on here for information better found on bus company web sites which are more likely to be accurate. Fleetlists can only come from primary sources or bus enthusiast blog sites and should not be reproduced here per WP:PRIMARY.--Charles (talk) 21:47, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - the subject is potentially of note, but the article as it stands contains nothing notable. . . Mean as custard (talk) 18:20, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
