Public transportation in San Diego County, California
Incomplete nom started by 75.213.215.118. No reason given. Yomangani talk 22:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep preferably speedily Fg2 07:22, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to San Diego, California. The subject matter and discussion is limited enough that it doesn't need a separate article at this stage. If the article could be expanded to include history of transportation in San Diego, notability of transportation in the San Diego metropolitan area, etc., that is not original research, then I would support keeping the article (and renaming it as appropriate to include all transportation options).

 * The San Diego, California article specifically discusses the biggest city in that region, not the county. This is about the transportation network of the county.--Chicbicyclist 06:45, 12 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, OK. At first glance I was thinking the article was about the network of the San Diego city's metropolitan area. A metropolitan area normally has more significance than the county level. I'm obviously not from the area. I don't know if places like Oceanside, Encinitas and Escondido, California are part of the San Diego metro area (I'm guessing not). So I should have said to merge to San Diego County, California. My concern was that an article should not be a rehashing of a section of another article, and that the scope of public transportation was too limited compared to articles about general transportation in other parts of the U.S. But I have good faith that the article could be expanded per Vectro and Zzyzx11, and I change my vote to keep (and not merge). In my preference, I would rename the article Transportation of San Diego County, California to expand the scope beyond public transport and include issues such as car culture in that part of the country (as that would be my first thought about transportation in San Diego) and my 2 other suggestions above, but that can be discussed apart from this AfD.

 * Speedy Keep; this article already has a good framework for discussion outside of San Diego, California. Vectro 21:28, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Can be rewritten to be similar to Transportation of Los Angeles. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:04, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, see comments above.--Chicbicyclist 06:44, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. The IP address that started the nom has exactly two edits, both of them to this nomination, which makes it look like a form of vandalism.  As to the article's content, the article provides a good overview of services in the area and is a handy way to navigate to articles about those specific services.

 * Keep &mdash; I especially like Zzyzx11's suggestion above.--Lord Kinbote 19:44, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
