Stagecoach Gold bus route S9

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Just another bus route, (fails WP:GNG. WP:NOTDIRECTORY,WP:NOTTIMETABLE. This kind of article is entirely pointless, since unless well maintained the data will be out of date & hence useless; anbody with a grain of sense would go to the company website if they wanted a timetable.

 * Either Redirect to Stagecoach Gold or Merge to Stagecoach Gold bus route S8. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 15:21, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Stagecoach Gold - I considered boldly doing that when I saw this on NPP. If there's a clear consensus here, I may do so for the remaining articles on Stagecoach Gold bus routes. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 18:01, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect per the two votes above me. There's nothing in the articles showing independent notability for any of these Stagecoach routes. Better off in a list and would support a bulk AfD/redirect for the remaining articles. SportingFlyer (talk) 18:07, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - Non notable bus route, Pointless redirecting as no one is going to search "Stagecoach Gold bus route S9", Having this as a redirect just sets the precedent that the rest of the bus routes can be created as redirects..... I know REDIRECTSARECHEAP and all that but this isn't cheap ... it's just pointless. – Davey 2010 Talk 18:40, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * There already is precedent for redirection, see e.g. Articles for deletion/London Buses route 99. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 20:42, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I am the creator of these articles, and whilst I do agree with some of the above comments, the Stagecoach Gold article is becoming far too cluttered. With more and more routes being added to the brand, the main article will continue to look more and more untidy. I created these articles with the aim of changing the Stagecoach Gold article sections to tables containing only basic information and then having standalone articles for each route which would contain additional information such as history etc. I admit that this specific route isn't notable, but you could then argue that most of the London buses routes that have their own articles are the same. There is a lot of information in the article that would not be suitable to cascade into the Stagecoach Gold article as the article is in need of cleanup and has been since April 2016.

 * Delete. Most bus routes are non notable and this is no exception. The only references are primary sources from Stagecoach and some bus fansite. Ajf773 (talk) 06:56, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
