Metro Transit Route 552

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The entire collection of articles are extremely short, trivial route descriptions. No geographical context nor encycopedically valuable information is given. The routes in question is not notable and of no interest to people outside of the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. These articles should be deleted or merged into a "List of..." page. --Адам12901 Talk 09:26, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I think that Polaron has a good idea to merge them into the Metro Transit article. --Адам12901 Talk 00:05, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - The articles do have a list, at Metro Transit Routes. Some of the articles have been expanded.  I believe that there was a previous AfD that failed beforehand, but I'm not sure.  -Tropicality (talk) 09:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * They also have a category, Category:Metro Transit Routes. -Tropicality (talk) 09:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The category was created by the person who created half of those routes. The only article in that category that is notable enough for an article is the Hiawatha Line, the light rail system in MSP. --Адам12901 Talk 10:01, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete all - unremarkable bus routes. Wikipedia is not a travel guide. No relevance to the wide world. MER-C 11:14, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete any of them that cannot assert their notability (which may very well be all of them). I just can't see most bus routes being notable.  If they are kept, they need to be renamed...there's more than one Metro Transit.  --UsaSatsui 16:25, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge all into the Metro Transit Routes article. Most of these can just be put in a table of routes that includes destinations. Those that are notable (i.e. those where more can be said than just this is a route that goes from A to B) can be split to their own article. However, I am not familiar with the system to indicate which ones are notable. --Polaron | Talk 18:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Bus routes are notable enough for an online encyclopedia. Natl1 (Talk Page) (Contribs) 19:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per Polaron. See list of Egged bus lines for a good example of how to make a good list on this subject. YechielMan 20:02, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per Polaron. I can't think of any other public transit system articles that include separate articles for each bus line (the articles for the NYC and Chicago systems don't, and those systems are larger and more notable than Metro Transit). Eco84 | Talk 00:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all. I don't know of any of these routes that are truly notable (even the crime-plagued Route 5).  Maybe a brief route description at Metro Transite Routes for each would be reasonable, like a description of the routes' origin and destination, and any notable connections.  Even that is stretching it.  --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 14:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all, buscruft. Edeans 03:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all I like Polaron's suggestion that these be a table. And I note Eco's comment that there isnt even one for larger cities.. I like the city, but this isnt the place to start what could be a very large expansion of content.DGG 04:38, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to a structured table like list of bus routes in Manhattan. Specific routes with a lot of information can be split off. --NE2 14:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge If they aren't up to snuff, expand rather than delete. Just Heditor review 23:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The issue here is more notability than length. --Адам12901 Talk 04:06, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
