Menemen-İzmir bus

Delete. non notable local bus route. noq (talk) 17:47, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Read first sentence of said article again. Two of three lines mentioned there share exact same route but operate under completely different statutes. This alone is worth mentioning that route in an encyclopedia. In addition, this is the most popular of İzmir bus routes and one of the most well-known city bus routes in Turkey. I will add more in hours. Erkinalp9035 (talk) 18:02, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment.This is the route mentioned.(Source in Turkish) Erkinalp9035 (talk) 18:06, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment.London buses has >1200 routes, and about 100 of them mentioned in Wikipedia in their individual articles, with a similar notability criterion, I can count at least 12 routes in İzmir. Erkinalp9035 (talk) 20:16, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * There's a difference. For London buses, there are lots of reliable sources available, including books and websites to help establish a route's notability. Also, London is a capital city, so it increases their significance in a way, Izmir is not. Class 455  ( talk |stand clear of the doors!)  19:52, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Bus routes are not inherently notable and there is no evidence of this one being so. Ajf773 (talk) 20:19, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * They may be. Bus routes, like other transport means, are traffic corridors and affect others considerably if overused. Erkinalp9035 (talk) 20:34, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - Whilst I'd choose to keep most articles about bus routes, there are not many sources available that can establish notability for this one, I'm afraid. Class 455  ( talk |stand clear of the doors!)  19:49, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, czar  04:49, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
 * , would you have any more sources from Turkish newspapers/periodicals? Perhaps something that covers the routes in detail? Eye close font awesome.svg czar  04:50, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
