List of Bangalore bus routes

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete per WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOTGUIDE. There is no need to list every bus route in Bangalore on Wikipedia, and besides the existing list just appears to be a random list of WP:OR. SBC-YPR (talk) 13:29, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment I'm inclined to disregard the nom's comment about there being "no need to list every bus route in Bangalore on Wikipedia" given that it's quite acceptable to list every bus route in Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx and other areas of New York City, and also in London. Presumably if the Bangalore article was of the same standard as these then there would be no problem in keeping it. The real issue here is the lack of sources without which we cannot verify the information in the article. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 04:26, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. To answer the other question, I don't think we should have a list of bus routes for ANY city. If I found myself in NYC, London or Bangalore, and needed to know the bus routes, I certainly wouldn't be consulting Wikipedia to find them. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:52, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * What if you wanted to know which bus routes were started by the Fifth Avenue Coach Company in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and which ones replaced streetcars? Nah, nobody cares about history anyway. --NE2 09:05, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * If I wanted to know that, I'd look at the article about the Fifth Avenue Coach Company article. Any more sarcasm you need me to respond to? Niteshift36 (talk) 04:48, 22 July 2009 (UTC)


 * But the current article isn't even historical - it's about the routes operated by an existing company, and besides it has absolutely no sources whatsoever. Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 14:06, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
