 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Metropolitan Routes in Cape Town. Consensus is to restore redirect back to original target, as article was expanded by a sockpuppet which would otherwise fall under WP:G5. No objections to restoring redirect. (non-admin closure) Bungle (talk • contribs) 21:27, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Zero in-depth coverage, was redirected, but the redirect was reverted without improvement. Fails WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 10:11, 19 March 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Courcelles (talk) 13:47, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep In the course of doing research on several of such articles I have found that there are too many sources to simply redirect to a table. Already I have found (hit #2 or 3 on "books") . If there are concerns that such articles should be merged into a list (not just a table, but a more extended list with paragraphs for each route) that can be discussed outside AFD. --Rschen7754 22:18, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

 * that wouldn’t be the correct redirect target. Metropolitan Routes in Cape Town is more specific IF this was closed as a redirect. Park3r (talk) 17:52, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Will also point out that this is a very new editor, with most of their edits being today's string of AFD votes. --Rschen7754 00:24, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Metropolitan Routes in Cape Town or consensus target. Unnecessary fork that only makes readers chase links to access content. There is not reason to fragment this content. Just because an article might be notable, doesn't mean it must have an article.  // Timothy :: talk  21:41, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect per above as a de-facto WP:G5 as article was expanded from a redirect by a confirmed sockpuppet. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  09:49, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Personally I would be okay with a (soft) redirect since the creator was a sock, and the issue of notability could be revisited at a later date. --Rschen7754 00:12, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
