List of bus routes in Basingstoke
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( 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 Basingstoke, 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. It also only has 3 references and includes only major routes.

 * 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) 22:29, 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)

 * Delete. This is not encyclopedic content; Wikipedia is not a travel guide. - The Bushranger One ping only 16:50, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * delete Rather transient data, far from encyclopedic scope. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:21, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete No indication why subject might be of significance.--A bit iffy (talk) 23:33, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * 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)
