List of bus routes in Bury St. Edmunds & Newmarket

 * – ( 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 Bury St. Edmunds or Newmarket, 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. This is particularly true given that the article proclaims that "All routes are up to date as of 4 April 2011" -- almost two years ago. This article includes only one source citation, leaving all but one sentence of the article entirely unsourced. Furthermore, the article includes asterisked footnote calls (* and *****) that don't correspond to any footnote text, and a color scheme for the route numbers that was noted on the talk page in March 2011 as being unexplained, and it still has not been explained to this day.

 * Delete WP:NOT, because a bunch of them are listed at AFD with clear consensus to delete, I think a mass nomination of all these topics are valid here. Secret account 00:54, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I would recommend against a mass nomination. Looking at past nominations of this sort, some lists like this have been kept in the past. I would prefer for lists like this to be nominated separately to ensure that each will be judged on its own. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:47, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. — Ed! (talk) 16:42, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wikivoyage - Previously I would have said delete, but now the transwiki option exists we should use it. I've started a discussion at the appropriate wikiproject regarding a mass move of all of these bus route lists to wikivoyage where the information is in scope and isn't required to be encyclopaedic or notable.

 * Delete as non-notable. If appropriate then trans-wiki for sure, but I haven't looked at that place yet so don't know if it's appropriate. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:49, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete or transwiki if appropriate. Not notable here.--Charles (talk) 09:59, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
