Transportation in Sarawak

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

Almost entirely sourced to facebook, a total disaster of organization. If nothing else this pretty clearly merits WP:TNT. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 00:26, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTGUIDE. Some of the prose in this article is difficult to understand, such as "The most popular district name in Chinese are Bau (石隆門) and Batu Niah (尼亞石山)." Was there a poll about how well-liked the names of the districts were? I assume that something else was meant, but I can't guess what. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:34, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Metropolitan90 I think they might have meant "The most popular districts are called Bau and Batu Niah in Chinese" but I'm not certain. Thryduulf (talk) 09:32, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * However, "Batu Niah" is not a Chinese name; it's derived from Malay according to that article. So I guess the question is whether there was a poll about how well-liked the districts themselves are (not about their names). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:12, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * This is getting rather off-topic, but such a poll in a Chinese-language medium could be what is meant (i.e. in a poll for a Chinese-language website these districts were voted the most popular) or it could I suppose reflect actual popularity with Chinese-speakers or Chinese people (i.e these districts are home to the greatest number of Chinese speakers and/or people of Chinese ethnicity). At best though these are arguments for WP:TNT not for keeping. Thryduulf (talk) 22:33, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. This article violates WP:NOTDIRECTORY in its entirety, as it consists almost wholly of bus stop locations and destination lists. Normally I'd !vote to redirect this to Sarawak. However, not only is Sarawak a good article with adequate encyclopedic content about the topic, but there is literally nothing in this article that can be salvaged.

 * Delete. This article's sources aren't reliable enough to know that this article has correct information. It uses Facebook, Instagram, and other unreliable sources. The article is also hard to understand. 𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝 👋❤️ (𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚔🤔) 02:42, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a travel guide. George Huntley (talk) 15:31, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTGUIDE, WP:NOTDIRECTORY and just being legitimately unsalvageable in its current state. Not to mention that it almost (if not) entirely cites unreliable sources. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 17:55, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete for WP:TNT purposes and then make the redirect per Epicgenius. It is WP:ASTONISHing to see a travel guide in an article of this title. Please use Wikivoyage for this stuff instead. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 16:07, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
