List of bus types used in London

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not been sourced at all since it was tagged in 2007. No encyclopedic value. Can't see any notability. This is just a list of the types of buses used in London, lots of details missing. Seems more like a bus spotters site. JetBlast (talk) 21:02, 5 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep London buses have been extensively documented in works such as Buses of London: An Illustrated Review, with Specifications and Brief History, of Every London Bus Type Purchased by London Transport Or Its Predecessors Since 1908. The topic therefore satisfies WP:LISTN.  I have added some reputable reference works of this sort to the article. Warden (talk) 21:32, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - it has no longer unsourced so, if anything, this AfD has prompted someone to significantly improve it. The sources indicate London buses are of notable interest. Sionk (talk) 23:21, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with Warden. Doncsecztalk 14:56, 6 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep It is a list article, providing a useful index. Provided the referenced subject articles are properly sourced, the lack of sources for the list entries is unimportant. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 18:45, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep per everyone.  Rcsprinter  (talk)  @ 23:08, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep surprisingly sourcable--in addition to the book Warden found there's also a book called London Buses: A Brief History. A merge would also be okay, though. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  02:04, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - Like many other "List of Rolling Stock" articles, this has the potential to reach Featured status and I would imagine that since buses are iconic in London there are many sources covering the topic. YuMaNuMa Contrib 00:50, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Perfectly valid list article, showing things of common on a list, and ample blue links.  D r e a m Focus  17:16, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
