Hong Kong bus route numbering
Wikipedia is not a bus schedule. --DarkAudit 15:25, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep fortunately, this article is not a bus schedule. WilyD 15:51, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. It would be nice if the nominator accurately described the article and gave a valid reason for proposing it for deletion.  This article describes the system used for numbering the HK bus routes, in addition to listing the routes.  There is no schedule information.  It may be of marginal interest, but the nomination is faulty, and there's no reason to delete. -- Slowmover 16:24, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep with cleanup. —Ben FrantzDale 16:25, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment A list of bus routes is pretty much close to a bus schedule. An article on the numbering system ventures into 'indiscriminate collection of information' territory as well. --DarkAudit 16:41, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep per WilyD, the deletion remarks are largely incoherent. Yamaguchi先生 22:09, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep per Slowmover and per cited argument in . --Arnzy (whats up?)  22:57, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Slowmover. Article is sound, and informative about the principles underlying the numbering system, with some examples. It does not describe precise bus routes and does not consititute an unmaintainable list. It has aplace within Wiki. Ohconfucius 03:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Ohconfucius. The article is more than a simple list of bus routes, and offers some useful insight (though some references would be good).--Mako 03:37, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, this is not a bus schedule, but an encyclopedic article. It only gives a brief listing of bus routes and how are they numbered, not a whole lot of bus numbers serving from X destination to Y destination. The nomination is incorrect and the nominator should give a better explanation of the nomination what is wrong with the article. --Ter e nce Ong (Chat 06:58, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per OhConfucious. SM247 My Talk  00:10, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * KeepThis article actually describes, bus route numbering in Hong Kong rather than simply listing facts about each route. But personally I'd remove everthing after #Route numbering system for public buses Garrie 04:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
