Connecticut Transit fleet

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Consists entirely of unsourced trivia split off from Connecticut Transit. If unsourced content were removed, no viable standalone article would remain. –dlthewave ☎ 03:29, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Frankly, I find most of these transport rosters to be overly detailed messes. To state that a on agency uses certain models and how many of each if it can be sourced is fine, but all of this trivia is just rivet counting. This is an encyclopedia, not a spotters' guide. (My reversions were simply an objection to process, not content, which I agree is unneeded and trivial.) oknazevad (talk) 03:58, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete, IMO the article could be saved by an editor who wanted to do so, but I have no desire to try given recent events I've had with certain transportation aficionados. At this point it's a total re-write... maybe someone else will rewrite it from scratch without all of the original research. Someday. Markvs88 (talk) 12:15, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. As I've stated elsewhere, fleet rosters are often fancruft and serve as an attractive nuisance for unsourced, unencyclopedic edits. I do think it's possible to write about rolling stock and such without losing balance, but it requires good sources. I still think there needs to be a discussion somewhere, at least within WikiProject Trains, about the appropriate level of detail for rosters. Mackensen (talk) 16:47, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete A metro area's transit roster is big enough. Trying to write about the fleet of an entire state which has many unsourced diversions such as 'this bus replaced one that was in a major crash' goes into 'find something else to do' territory that even the transit authority itself would never track in detail.

 * Delete. Connecticut Transit can be expanded if needed. Capitals00 (talk) 17:18, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
