London Buses route 251

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Another generic bus route, no evidence of notability. Jeni ( talk ) 12:14, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Do other London bus routes have their own article, just out of curiosity/amusement ? But any historical English nobleman below the rank of Baronet is routinely purged as "non-notable"....  Ryn78 (talk) 15:13, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as non notable. There are a few left, admittedly most like this one that fail WP:GNG and WP:NOTTRAVEL.  Nordic   Dragon  15:23, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Applying WP:NOTTRAVEL seems appropriate; if we were to accept this across the board we'd have another shitstorm on our hands, no doubt. But this seems to fail the GNG, for instance. And even if this and other routes passed the GNG, that wouldn't necessarily make their schedules notable, with all the stops and the symbols and whatnot. Drmies (talk) 01:57, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment. There are 135 articles like this in Category:Bus routes in London, not to mention a few hundred other city bus routes using Template:Infobox bus line. This isn't the first one. Most have references such as this did before much of the content was removed. StarryGrandma (talk) 04:56, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Were those references independent? Ian.thomson (talk) 06:59, 16 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect to List of bus routes in London as attempted to do before having to waste everyone's time and drag this to AfD. Nothing about this route is notable. It exists. Period. Article sat unsourced for years. When Jeni attempted to change it into a redirect, an IP added some references, none of which were independent, which only showed that this route exists, not that it was notable. Nothing in searches to show that this route passes WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:48, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as notable bus route - There's thousands of bus routes and not every single one (even in London) needs an article ...., Fails nottravel & GNG. – Davey 2010 Talk 23:49, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
