Per WP:NOTDIR WP:NOTTRAVEL. Just a list of unremarkable bus routes in one particular city. Ajf773 (talk) 09:56, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Lists, Transportation,  and Pakistan. Ajf773 (talk) 09:56, 4 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete: As per nom. Macktheknifeau (talk) 11:25, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge to Transport in Lahore. This is excessively detailed, but a summary of the principal routes/area of coverage in an article about a city's transport is encyclopaedic. Thryduulf (talk) 10:22, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep This article is very helpful with regard to its subject for citizens using local transport in Lahore. It's always difficult to find buses given Lahore's urban complexities and traffic. Wikipedia is first result Google will give incase someone search it. Transport authority's website is with a difficult interface and with change of routes it is less likely that they update it earlier so this article can be easily updated by anyone.

 * WP:USEFUL, is not a compelling enough reason to keep this article. Ajf773 (talk) 09:27, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * There are many similar articles like that present on Wikipedia, are we going to delete them all? Or if they can stay, why can't this article? Muneebll (talk) 07:09, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
 * WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Articles are present in Wikipedia because they meet specific notability requirements, those that don't usually get deleted. London has close to 100 bus routes that have a long history and are deemed notable, so a list of them is also notable. Not seeing anything remarkable about any in Lahore.

 * Delete Getting around a transit system is not what an encyclopedia is for; that information belongs at Wikivoyage. Fails WP:LISTN. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 03:40, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete Clear violation of WP:NOTDIR. This information belongs on Wikivoyage. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:01, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, we aren't here to help people decide what bus to catch. I don't even think it's for Wikivoyage, but that's for them to decide. Without any sort of scholarly discussion on why the routes matter, this is just another list. Beyond sources reproducing what's here, there are none for GNG.
