Route 902, Victorian Bus Route

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:GNG, requires significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources. A bus timetable is not an acceptable source. Department of Transport (Victoria) is a primary source. PROD notice was removed without addressing issue so soft delete is not an option. Dan arndt (talk) 11:11, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Transportation and Australia. Dan arndt (talk) 11:11, 20 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I do not see why adding more sources wasn't considerd before the deletetion request. Deleting an article for not having sources shouldn't be the first option. The first option should be to add more avaliable sources to the existing article. NotOrrio (talk) 12:07, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * during this time i also believe its best to postpone the deletion until the end of this discussion for atleast a week to we can figure out what is best needed for this page NotOrrio (talk) 12:15, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * which is the rationale for issuing a PROD notice, which allows editors the opportunity to address the issues of notability. The PROD notice was removed within hours without any improvements made to the article.Dan arndt (talk) 12:19, 20 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Redirect to SmartBus. I was unable to find any coverage that would establish this route should be a separate article. -- Whpq (talk) 12:25, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * as a part of making more wikipedia contributions to buses such as WikiProject Buses bus routes will be given more detailed information on wikipedia that would simply not fit into a section of an article in addition another part of it was to give special bus routes their own article and since 902 has smartbus status (premiuim bus status in victoria) I believe it will need it's own article NotOrrio (talk) 13:19, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You can show that this should be in its own article by providing significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 13:24, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to SmartBus per above. Not every bus route merits its own article, and the article creator's arguments here are very flawed and mostly WP:ILIKEIT. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 15:18, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Suggest speedy close as redirect Note that the article creator has now converted it to a redirect, with comment "i have made the choice to delete this page keeping it up just isnt worth it anymore". Pam  D  06:45, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
