The result was   merge to Stagecoach South. Other than the nominator, everyone seems to think there is some useful information here that should be moved over to Stagecoach South, so a merge is appropriate. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:20, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Question I don't live in the UK so I wouldn't know, but what makes this article different from the articles for various tube stops or other transit lines? Elmmapleoakpine (talk) 20:48, 6 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Answer We're not talking about physical structure such as a tube stop or transit line - the article is about a minor regional subdivision of a transit company. This doesn't appear to be uniquely notable subdivision and it would be better redirecting the article to the larger regional division or simply to the Transit company its self.

 * I don't quite agree with that. Just becuase a tube stop has a physical structure doesn't make it more notable. Stagecoach Hants & Surrey run a lot of bus routes and carry millions of passengers a year - certainally more than the passenger throughput at an average tube station. Nevertheless, I still think at the moment we should merge to Stagecoach South.  Arriva436 / talk / contribs   18:30, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The merge rationale isn't that it isn't noteable nor that is less noteable than physical structures. The rationale that specifically applies to corporations is that subsections of a company which aren't unique enough to have their own article should be covered in the parent article as part of general coverage As for why I didn't do this boldly, there has been over the past year little consensus for changes to Bus articles so rather than redirect, be reverted, then bring here I thought I'd just bring it here first and get community consensus.

 * Merge to Stagecoach South. A few independent reliable sources talk about this subdivision, but there's not very much material to write about so it's easy enough to cover it as part of the larger division. Stagecoach South East already uses the format. In fact this could probably have been done boldly without needing an AfD, but never mind. Alzarian16 (talk) 01:36, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to Stagecoach South, as per Alzarian. Not sure why the AfD either to be honest.  Arriva436 / talk / contribs   18:30, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete and merge any relevant information to Statecoach South where there is plenty of room for inclusion. The same for Stagecoach in the South Downs.  SaveATreeEatAVegan 04:41, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge no deletion necessary. See WP:ATD and WP:Merge and delete.  Eluchil404 (talk) 09:06, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
