Greater Manchester bus route 86

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I can't find any significant coverage of this bus service in reliable 3rd party sources indicating importance, so think it should be deleted. AD 14:31, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Individual bus routes are normally considered non-notable. The only source provided in this article is the bus company's own schedule for this route, which is not an independent source that can help establish notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:05, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, possibly as part of a grouped article with similar route 85. Despite the current lack of references, some do exist, certainly at local level and briefly in Buses Magazine. It's borderline whether or not this is enough for WP:GNG, and rather depends on how you define significant coverage. Alzarian16 (talk) 11:44, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per Metropolitan90 or redirect to List of Stagecoach Manchester bus routes. Insignificant coverage. Wikipedia is not a public transit guide. Neutralitytalk 02:54, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Stagecoach Manchester bus routes. While it doesn't seem like a notable bus route in terms of a global encyclopaedia, it does seem notable in the context of Manchester bus routes, sot the redirect is a good option. Thryduulf (talk) 17:05, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
