List of bus routes in Farnborough & Fleet area

Wikipedia is not a place for travel guides - that is what Wikitravel is for. Nor is it a place for minority interests such as bus/plane/train spotters - that is why the foundation set up Wikia. Simple Boba.k.a. The Spaminator (Talk) 11:21, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Revising my nomination for those who may not have read the specific guidance in WP:NOTDIR - WP:NOTGUIDE states that travel guide content belongs at Wikitravel or Wikia travel instead. --Simple Boba.k.a. The Spaminator (Talk) 14:53, 24 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - IDONTLIKEIT is not a valid reason for deletion. Adam mugliston  Talk  11:58, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge into a revised List of bus routes in Hampshire, a county-wide article to match with all of the other List of bus routes in England. Arriva436talk/contribs 12:49, 24 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. It is most unlikely that significant coverage in reliable secondary sources will ever be found for this material. The article fails General Notability Guideline, Notability of Standalone Lists guideline, Wikipedia is not a Directory, Wikipedia Stand Alone List Guideline Wikipedia is not a Travel Guide and Wikipedia is not a list of indiscriminate information. If this sort of material is kept it is always liable to become outdated and a source of misinformation if editors concerned lose interest. Even if we have legal indemnity against any unfortunate consequences of providing wrong data we have a moral responsibility to avoid doing so, not to mention the potential damage to WP's reputation. It is not just a case of not liking it as there are sound reasons for not keeping it.--Charles (talk) 20:26, 24 July 2011 (UTC)


 * WP:NOTDIR, WP:NOTTRAVEL and WP:SAL do not mention buses or anything transport related, while WP:NNC clearly states most lists do not have to satisfy GNG. Adam mugliston  Talk  20:42, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is a perfectly notable article which just needs a little expansion, is all.  Rcsprinter  (talk)  12:16, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - IDONTLIKEIT is not a valid reason for deletion. ad nauseam AFD's of bus route lists will not change consensus. Exit2DOS • Ctrl • Alt • Del 06:12, 5 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:NOTDIR. Saying that WP:NOTDIR do not mention buses sounds like WP:WL. Beagel (talk) 23:24, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. Recommend to move to UK Transport Wiki. Beagel (talk) 23:31, 11 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  20:30, 8 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:NOTDIR and because this list is completely unsourced. As a second choice, transwiki to any other wiki which is interested in taking this list. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:01, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * UK Transport Wiki would be a suitable home.--Charles (talk) 08:37, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
