Essex bus route 59

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non notable bus route. No evidence the route has ever received significant, independent coverage so fails WP:GNG. Sole provided reference makes no mention of the route. Nuttah (talk) 10:25, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - It's only problem that it's lacking sources, which just need adding. Jeni  ( talk ) 10:26, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - This route is a very significant link, and should be kept. More sources are needed though. Alex12341000 17:22, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * delete - Does not establish notability. SYSS Mouse (talk) 20:31, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:N. Also, Wikipedia is not a directory, or an indiscriminate collection of information. Not seeing reliable and independent secondary sources with significant coverage. Edison (talk) 20:39, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete As with most bus routes, not notable. The very premise of these articles is to provide a directory of stops along the route (in this case, a column of points between Harlow and Chelmsford and,  in reverse sequence, a column of points between Chelmsford and Harlow).  In some cases, price and schedule information are included.  Ultimately, however, the same purpose is accomplished simply by the sites mentioned in the external links.  Most of these were created because some people were fascinated with bus routes, but there is no right of entitlement to them.  Mandsford 21:34, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - no significant coverage by reliable sources to establish notability. Also WP:NOTDIR.--70.80.234.196 (talk) 23:57, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. I think I agree with the notability criteria suggested by Wikiproject buses, that the bus route should either have some sort of historical significance or be a major arterial route (i.e. every 10 minutes or or more). This bus route is neither, and maintaining every bus route is unworkable. List of bus routes in Essex seems to have all we need. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 17:42, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can't find any independent coverage, not even in local papers, and the route has a fairly short and unspectacular history. As such it doesn't appear to be notable enough. Alzarian16 (talk) 13:22, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
