Pune bus information

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Totally unsourced list of bus routes, bus depots and bus stops in Pune, India. Wikipedia is neither an indiscriminate collection of information nor a travel guide. Thomas.W talk 13:29, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

The idea is that volunteers will contribute to this article. e.g. Someone can get accurate and complete information about routes from PMPML (the bus service operator) and write it on this page. Also, others may make similar wikipedia page for other cities in India (or world?)Pvranade (talk) 13:40, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Hopefully, other contributors will keep the format same and only add or edit content. I have attempted to keep the format such that the content can be easily copied into a database. The database can then be used to create user friendly applications. Also the format is not bad for a human reader.Pvranade (talk) 13:44, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * It's outside the scope of Wikipedia, we're an encyclopaedia, not a travel guide. Try adding the material to Wikitravel instead. Thomas.W talk 13:51, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

There are wikipedia pages about public transport in various cities (e.g. Mumbai, Sydney...). Isn't this page similar to those? Only difference is the way information is formatted (in lists, tables etc.) This format is suitable for extracting to database, yet is good enough for human readers.Pvranade (talk) 14:48, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - This content is un-encylopdic, and Wikipedia is not a directory of bus/transportation routes.  Chris  lk02  Chris Kreider 15:21, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: Unencyclopedic. Surprisingly, the 5:15 bus arrives at 5:15 and not 5:25. Hithladaeus (talk) 19:26, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTADIRECTORY. If I wanted to look for a bus timetable, I'd look on the company website, not Wikipedia. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:27, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Anyone with bloody common sense would look at a bus timetable and or the companies website - Fails NOTDIR. – Davey 2010 Talk 03:29, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
