London Buses route N7

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

I can't find anything to establish the notability of these routes, I have been through the List of bus routes in London article and picked out these seemingly non notable night bus routes with articles. May also come under WP:DIRECTORY Jenuk1985  |  Talk  13:14, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I haven't nominated the night bus articles that seem to have a history, as in my opinion, a bit of history establishes notability (though generally unsourced in the un-nominated articles, but I'm sure that could be worked on) Jenuk1985  |  Talk  13:14, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge each into the article for the main service. These are all night services, doing some variation of the regular route, and there is an article for each main service--this would seem an obvious way of dealing with these. Jenuk, wouldn't this be OK with you? DGG (talk) 14:21, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I can't see a problem with merging into the main articles, or possibly a Night buses in London article. Jenuk1985  |  Talk  14:30, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge together to Night buses in London. London is (I think) unique in UK in having night buses, or at least ones with a separate route network.  On the other hand, most bus routes are NN, and liable to change at short notice (making articles unmaintainable).  One article should be enough.  The other (allegedly notable) ones will presumably be linked from the target.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:51, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment User:Jenuk1985/Bus routes in Bromsgrove - I have been working on this page, the routes listed aren't notable on their own, but collectively form an interesting article (well it will be when I finish it!). That page could be used as a base "template" for such a new article. Jenuk1985  |  Talk  16:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge per DGG. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:32, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Question What's the wiki-difference between day and night routes? They all come from the same directory, don't they? NVO (talk) 19:38, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Why not just point all these London bus route numbers to the appropriate section in the Transport for London site, where presumably accurate and up-to-date information will be found? WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Aymatth2 (talk) 03:01, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Are these the same as a"Knight bus?" Edison (talk) 05:28, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment the above vote is invalid as it is nominated as a deletion, after which a merge has been suggested and discussed. As in other AfD's, comments suggesting a merge are acceptable. Jenuk1985  |  Talk  14:35, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * May as well Merge really. I'd suggest doing this in future situations like this as well. Ironholds (talk) 16:25, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * The UK has many places with night bus routes
 * London, uniquely due to the contract system, has predictable and well advertised changes to routes, day and night
 * London has more night buses than these, there are many 24 hour routes (which replaced some N routes)
 * I would be wary in claiming that the N routes only vary in minor detail to the equivalently numbered day route (if they match at all)
 * Merge to an appropriate list of routes. Stifle (talk) 19:35, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
