List of bus routes in the Thames Valley

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This page effectively duplicates List of bus routes in Slough, and also suffers from there being no common definition of the 'Thames Valley' Grblundell (talk) 09:50, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as duplicate. A redirect might be useful if what Thames Valley includes is mentioned in the target article. --Polaron | Talk 15:33, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of bus routes in Slough. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  18:56, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

 * DElete and the Slough article. Bus routes are liable to change at frequent intervals.  The best solution is a short article on public transport in an area, with a link to an external website, that of the operator or Passenger Transport Authority, which will ensure that the website is manitained.  That cannot be garanteed for a WP article.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:05, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, and the Slough bus routes article with it. Wikipedia is not a directory. It doesn't need articles listing every bus route in the World, and there is nothing especially notable about this set of routes. There seem to be a great deal of bus route articles already, e.g. see Category:Bus routes in England here , so I guess that has set a precedent. But the existing list-type articles for England are by county (except for Slough which is a town), and "Thames Valley" doesn't fit into that scheme. It will overlap with the counties it contains - List of bus routes in Berkshire,  List of bus routes in Oxfordshire etc. Jll (talk) 15:17, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of bus routes in Slough - this is not an endorsement of List of bus routes in Slough, but we certainly do not need two articles on this topic --T-rex 20:48, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
