Recreation of an article already deleted as non-notable after discussion. I see no reason why it is now a notable subject. TheLongTone (talk) 12:38, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * See alsoList of bus routes in Framlingham, List of bus routes in Clare, List of bus routes in Manea, List of bus routes in Soham, List of bus routes in Ixworth, all similar lists of bus routes serving small settlements.TheLongTone (talk) 12:41, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Very well sourced, Harleston has a population of over 4,000 with some buses going all the way to London therefore it is notable. Englandtransport (talk) 13:03, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * None of the references are secondary sources, they are all published by the relevant bus companies.TheLongTone (talk) 13:11, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete per WP:CSD as re-creation of a page deleted pursuant to an AfD. See Articles for deletion/List of bus routes in Harleston. I checked the old version of the page and I don't see how the current version is any improvement over the version that got deleted eight months ago. Besides, Wikipedia is not a travel guide, and almost all the sources here are primary sources from the bus company web sites. In fact, anyone hoping to find a bus to take in Harleston would have to go to the bus company web site anyway, in order to (a) find out where the bus stops, (b) find out what time the bus stops, and (c) make sure that the Wikipedia page has not been vandalized or become out of date, which could result in the person standing out in the rain waiting for a bus that is never going to arrive. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:18, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete G4 - recreation with no added material. - The Bushranger One ping only 22:46, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * What about the other, similar, articles? Identical in principle, & some with even slimmer claim to notability. In principle they could all be merged to the articles on the settlements in question, although the objection that the information is likely to be outdated remains.TheLongTone (talk) 22:58, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
