List of bus terminals in Moscow Oblast

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

It was decided in Articles for deletion/Kolomna Bus Terminal to merge a number of stubs into this list. While such mergers sometimes result in a decent article, I don't think that has been the case here. What purpose does this list fulfill? We're not supposed to be a tour planner or travel guide. B.

 * No we're not supposed to be a tour planer or travel guide, but this provides information to people who are planning tours or making travel guides. Just because the information will be looked for by a certain type of people doesn't make it any less important. I say keep it, because it will matter to some people, even if you or I don't give a damn about these bus terminals.--Jaeger123 (talk) 14:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge or keep: Since all the listed terminals are operated by Mostransavto, it might make sense to merge this content into that article. If other Moscow bus operators have terminals, it might make sense to keep a combined list. Either way, the list is finite, non-judgmental, useful, and verifiable, so it should stay in one form or another. —C.Fred (talk) 14:42, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Mostransavto.  Although Wikipedia tends to favor articles about train stations and bus terminals and even the dinkiest place on the map, this list is not terribly useful.  "Moscow oblast" is along the lines of one of the provinces of Russia, and Mostrasavto operates the bus lines there.  As is, the article is nothing more than a list of cities, followed by the word "bus terminal".  A map, or some other information (distance from Moscow, perhaps) would be useful, and maybe an article about the bus line would be the place for that.  Mandsford (talk) 15:51, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect as Mandsford suggested. This is entirely valid information, but I don't think this list actually serves much of a purpose on its own. It would do better as part of another article. ~ mazca talk 16:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect per pretty much everyone else. this is valid information, it just isn't in the right place.  Celarnor Talk to me  18:44, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
