List of bus routes in Andover

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia is not a travel guide. It is not clear that this article could ever be particularly useful to people interested in taking a bus to or from Andover, given that one would have to refer to the bus company's web site to confirm that the bus service still exists, what days it runs, what time it runs, and where to get on the bus. Similar pages such as List of bus routes in Bury St. Edmunds & Newmarket have been deleted. Also It only has 2 references. Wilbysuffolk (Talk to me!) 18:38, 14 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete, Transwiki to Wikivoyage or wikia, or otherwise remove from Wikipedia. This is not a suitable subject for a encyclopaedia, and whilst Wikipedia may have aspects of almanacs or gazetteers these should exist as a means to index encyclopaedic content and help readers find that content. Wikipedia is also not a directory (of routes) or a travel guide (explaining how to get to bus stop B from bus stop A) The list is sourced solely to primary sources, even if some of these primary sources are independent - This does not provide evidence that the subject is notable and meet the GNG.

 * Delete as a non-notable subject failing WP:GNG which also fails WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOTTRAVEL.--Charles (talk) 22:30, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Previous decision was Keep. No material facts have changed in case for deletion. Just seems to be someone renominating the same article until they get their way. Nunquam Dormio (talk) 09:19, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey Nunquam Dormio, you would do well to remember that consensus can change although the two articles you've left this comment on were closed as keep, neither myself nor Wilbysuffolk commented on them so his nomination and my support is not a "renomination until [we] get our way". It should also be noted that generally the bigger debate at that time occurred in relation to the Peterborough article which I did comment on and which closed as no consensus rather than keep (and isn't listed at this time because it's edit history needs retained.), that several points were procedural in relation to the wording of Bob's nomination rather than the other delete comments made, several keep points were on the basis of improvement which has not occurred, several merge points were counted as keep with required discussion which has not occurred and that broadly the consensus that these articles comply with policy has swung from "No consensus" (or Keep) to "Delete" hence a recent increase in these articles being deleted and the renomination of these for deletion.

 * Delete as non-notable and impossible to maintain using reliable third party sources. An article on Buses in Hampshire would be entirely appropriate however. Consensus seems to have shifted since the previous nomination in favour of deletion and/or transwikification Blue Square Thing (talk) 21:07, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Transwiki to Wikivoyage, add template in refs for Basingstoke linking to related content there. – SJ +  01:59, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
