London Buses route 116

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence of meeting WP:NOTABILITY guidelines. Per WP:BUSOUTCOMES, these are usually deleted or redirected to list article. Prod was removed, but with no reason given. Boleyn (talk) 18:02, 18 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep Most London bus routes of this age are notable as there is an extensive literature about them which I'll check when I'm next passing the London Transport Museum. Note that the nomination talks of merger to some list and so doesn't seem to have fully considered alternatives to deletion per WP:BEFORE. Andrew (talk) 18:07, 18 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment Actually, my comment shows exactly the opposite; the mention of a possible merge shows that I have looked at alternative to deletion, that's why I mentioned it. List of bus routes in London would be the best redirect target if a merge/redirect was the consensus, but Buses in London, London Borough of Hounslow and List of night buses in London would be other possibilities.

 * The point of exploring the alternatives to avoid creating yet another discussion page. You're supposed to try that before coming here.  Per WP:PRESERVE, deletion is a last resort, not the first thing to try. Andrew (talk) 18:49, 18 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - Individual London bus routes are deemed notable, Anyway passes GNG. – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  18:27, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * There is no policy that London bus routes are inherently notable and no indication of secondary sources to meet WP:GNG.Charles (talk) 09:55, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect per below - From past discussions & what not it's at times been a case of "It's in London so it's notable" and I tend to think the same although I evidently shouldn't!, Anyway nothing worth keeping & nothing notable about it. – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  01:53, 25 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep as there seems to be sufficient reliable information about this route. In the alternate, this warrants merger into a list of London bus routes, not outright deletion.-- danntm T C 19:51, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems informative & notable--Futeb00l (talk) 22:35, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete—the article as it exists at the moment fails GNG. There is only one reference in the article, which is not enough to demonstrate notability. GNG says we need significant coverage in independent and reliable sources, which is not satisfied by a single footnote.  Imzadi 1979  →   06:04, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect. Just a run of the mill route with no special claim to fame. Many London routes have been so redirected. No indication of significant secondary coverage outside the bus fan world.Charles (talk) 09:55, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete, regretfully. (Also, redirect to List of bus routes in London.) There are no sources indicating that this route is anything special.  Rcsprinter123    (sing)  @ 19:48, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect, unless some reliable secondary sources are found that demonstrate GNG. At the moment, there's a single primary source from 2007; if this were a notable route, there should be plenty of reliable secondary sources available. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:43, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to List of bus routes in London. Individual bus routes are not notable just for being bus routes, and there is no evidence of sources to demonstrate that this meets WP:GNG. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:39, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
