The result was Withdrawn - IMO it should be gone but consensus was to keep it, Clearly I should think before nominating (especially per WP:IDONTLIKEIT which I think was the case). - →Davey 2010→ →Talk to me!→  13:11, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

List of bus stations in Wales

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced list fails WP:NOTDIR, WP:NOTGUIDE and WP:GNG - Davey 2010 T  03:07, 22 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - quite easy to prove these bus stations (generally large, notable transport hubs) exist. However, I'm not sure where the proof is of the size of the bus stations and maybe they should be listed alphabetically instead of by size. There are clean up issues and questions to address about what to include and what to remove, but no reason for deletion in principle. Sionk (talk) 08:38, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Surely it would easier to create an article for each one instead having a list tho?, There's no encyclopedic content here whatsoever, Plus If I needed the "Number of stands" and "Primary Destinations" my first call would be google .... not wp, Also Please don't change content whilst an AfD is ongoing! . Thanks! - →Davey 2010  Talk  13:39, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Of course the article can be improved/edited while the AfD is ongoing! That's often one of the outcomes of AfD. And it is simply lazy/disruptive to revert all changes wholesale, regardless of their perceived merit. Sionk (talk) 14:21, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah I thought they couldn't, In that case I apologize for the revert, Davey 2010  Talk  15:02, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm glad we didn't resort to a punch up ;) Sionk (talk) 15:17, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Haha so am I :) Davey 2010  Talk  17:03, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep, passes WP:LISTPURP as index of articles, complementary to Category:Bus stations in Wales per WP:CLN. postdlf (talk) 21:54, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Well we have the category so therefore this article is a unencyclopedic duplication & ultimately not needed .... Also it fails WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOTGUIDE .... Davey 2010 T 22:01, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Except WP:CLN expressly says at WP:NOTDUP that duplication of a category is not a reason for deleting a list (and I think your assertion to the contrary indicates you should actually take the time to read CLN before responding to a comment that cites it), not to mention the fact that the list obviously has far more information than the category and so is not merely duplicative anyway (and obviously could not be "unencyclopedic" if the category is not). Also, see WP:VAGUEWAVE re: the last two acronyms you've repeated without explanation. postdlf (talk) 22:24, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Although we have the category, only roughly a third of the bus stations have their own article, so this list is not a duplication.Martin 4 5 1  (talk) 22:43, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That's very true it does have more info but not much at all.... It's only informative to those wanting to catch a bus .... We may aswell include real time information on when next bus is due too .., Can be built and maintained by editing a single page- Prior to Sionk updating it & 2 edits before It wasn't maintained since 2011, If each station were notable they'd have there own article? (which some do i know) (As a side note I was trying to prove a point adding notdir but was just repetitive so apologies for that.) Davey 2010  T  22:48, 22 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - As per Postdlf and Sionk above. WP:NOTDIR applies to "indiscriminate" collection of information.  This list, specifically of bus stations in Wales, is very discriminate.  Frequently I find editors apply WP:NOTDIR to all lists simply because they look like a "directory."  --Oakshade (talk) 03:16, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Well in some respects it is a directory ..... But that aside this list has no historic / informative infomation whatsoever & as I said above We may aswell include real time information on when next bus is due too. Davey 2010  T  07:32, 23 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. I see no good reason to delete this list. It's not of bus stops; it's of bus stations. Since we have actual articles on every railway station, I don't think it's unreasonable to have a list of bus stations. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:15, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
