 * Delete -- TfL is certainly notable, but an e-mail list discussing it is unlikely to be. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:13, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per everybody. At best this would be a line in the TfL article. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:28, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Zero evidence of notability. If the site were actually affiliated with TfL, then it would likely be worth a brief mention in the article about TfL. As it stands, though, it utterly fails WP:GNG. -- Kinu  t/c 17:18, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Despite its aspirations, it isn't currently a notable website due to the lack of coverage in reliable sources. It might be in the future, but per WP:CRYSTAL we don't include articles on that basis. Thryduulf (talk) 17:19, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTFORUM, WP:CRYSTAL & above. →Davey 2010→  →Talk to me!→  21:10, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:NOTFORUM is not relevant here - that's the guideline about articles not being for discussion about the topic and talk pages not being a forum for general discussion. It is perfectly acceptable to have articles about forums if they are notable (see Category:Internet forums), although this one is not. Thryduulf (talk) 09:03, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Have absolutely no idea why I put that .... Clearly a dumb moment! →Davey 2010→  →Talk to me!→  00:42, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Like they said above, TfL is notable, but this forum is not. — Joaquin008  ( talk ) 20:51, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
