Phoenix Public Transportation

 * – ( View AfD View log )

essay-like, no intro, no sources, seems Redundant to Phoenix articles in general which discuss transport in a more concise fashion. Deprodded without comment. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:46, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Phoenix, Arizona pending expansion. Cusop Dingle (talk) 20:38, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete or merge as redundant to Valley Metro (Phoenix) Elizium23 (talk) 23:43, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - the topic may well be notable, but this essay-like thing needs to be blown up and started over at best. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:37, 16 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep The nomination claims that the article has no sources when it actually has 10 references. Per WP:SK, this seems to be a case of "nominations which are so erroneous that they indicate that the nominator has not even read the article in question". Warden (talk) 20:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Adding the word "secondary" to the nom makes it clear and correct - there are no secondary sources, and the rest of the problems with the article stand. - The Bushranger One ping only 22:51, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - added 12 WP:RS in about 20 minutes in the "Further reading" section. Also, note WP:NOTCLEANUP.   Haus Talk 03:41, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - Although this article has several problems, the biggest problem is a lack of intro section (per nom), which makes context for the rest of the article difficult. However, it's too much information to be merged into main Phoenix article.  Also on the plus side it's the best sourced of any article I've reviewed for pending deletion (ok, that's not saying much....)   78.26  (talk) 02:24, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Sourced pretty well and too much information for the main city article, though a retitle to Public transportation in Phoenix, Arizona is recommended.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 02:55, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Agree that page should be brought up for renaming should it survive the AfD. Haus Talk 03:37, 22 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep It amazes me that anyone thinks that this page is a candidate for deletion. Of course a city the size of Phoenix should have an article about its transit services. This is also a place for general transit statements that are not appropriate for the Valley Metro article. This would include a history of transit of Phoenix, for example, and I remember that thru out the 90s and 00s the city was frequently chosen as having the worst transit service among cities in the US. This is a no-brainer keep. D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  13:18, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
