List of MBTA bus routes in South Boston

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia is not a travel guide. No indication of notability of any of the routes, sources mostly appear to be just primary sources of the routes themselves

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are similar in content and style:

 * Comment The sheer number of lines declared "defunct" suggests that these pages would really only be suitable as a travel guide if the reader possessed a TARDIS, at which point, why would you be taking the bus anyway? Be that as it may, it looks like most of the historical information in these articles is based on a single source. Perhaps a viable option would be to redirect all three pages to MBTA Bus, merging and summarizing as appropriate (e.g., "Several bus routes originated as Boston Elevated Railway lines"). I'm not entirely clear why these regions were split into different articles in the first place &mdash; maybe it was a page-size issue ten years ago, or it's a Boston thing that a non-resident like me wouldn't get.

 * To make my !vote official: selectively merge and redirect all to MBTA Bus. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 02:21, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of MBTA bus routes on the off chance that there's anything useful here. In general, Wikipedia is not a travel guide and information on the bus routes is best located on the org's web site, where it can be most up to date. Straight "Delete" would be okay with me.

 * Delete as per NOTTRAVELGUIDE - We're an encyclopedia but that doesn't mean we need articles on absolutely everything (I'm sure there's a policy on this somewhere!), Anyway this info belongs on the operators website where it's more up to date. – Davey 2010 Talk 23:25, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete All as per NOTTRAVEL & WP:INDISCRIMINATE. There's really nothing here that belongs in an encyclopedia.--Rusf10 (talk) 03:13, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
