List of bus routes in Stradbroke and Laxfield

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No significant secondary source coverage. Fails WP:N, WP:NOT. There is already a list of routes in central Suffolk. Charles (talk) 22:23, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * DeleteThis is one of a whole series of articles by the same editor, all on bus routes serving small Suffolk communities. I Afd'd one recently, and it got speedied as a recreation of an identical page which had been deleted after an afd. They are all non-notable: Wikipedia is not a guide to all the bus services in Suffolk of anywhere, and the information in the articles is liable to date quickly. The editor would be better off adding the information, such as it is, to the settlements in question.TheLongTone (talk) 23:29, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I would not agree with adding this kind of material to settlement articles any more than we would add opening times for pharmacies or such like. It fails WP:NOTDIR and is not something Wikipedia should be doing at all.--Charles (talk) 10:44, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete for above reasons and because we cannot guarantee that the creator will maintyain the article in perpetuity. ON the other hand we can be fairly sure that the bus operators or the Passenger Transport Executive for the area will do so on their own website.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:20, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. 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 Stradbroke or Laxfield, 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. Also, this article includes only one source citation, leaving the rest of the article entirely unsourced. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:11, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wikivoyage where there is no requirement to be encyclopaedic, or notable and scope is on useful travel information. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 08:25, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. A sentence on the locality page saying that x and y provide bus services in the area would be absolutely fine as a replacement. Blue Square Thing (talk) 12:45, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
