 * → Tsunami (roller coaster) (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Redirect for "Thriller(coaster)" is not needed, as it is not a useful search term. There is a "Thriller" disambiguation page already, and "Thriller (roller coaster)" will be changed soon to point to the correct article. GoneIn60 (talk) 18:34, 4 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete. In the redirect's title, there is no space in between the name and the name's disambiguator. Steel1943  (talk) 14:48, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

This discussion centralizes all of the discussions recently happening on WP:RFD regarding redirects with a phrase like "List of bus routes in..." in their titles. The first entry was started by User:Charlesdrakew for List of bus routes in Cambridgeshire stating the following:
 * → Transport in East Anglia (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]
 * → Transport in East Anglia (links to redirect • [ history] • )    [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]
 * → Transport in East Anglia (links to redirect • [ history] • )    [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]
 * → Buses in Portsmouth (links to redirect • [ history] • )    [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]
 * → Transport in Worthing (links to redirect • [ history] • )    [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]
 * → Soham (links to redirect • [ history] • )    [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]
 * → Transport in Cambridge (links to redirect • [ history] • )    [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]
 * → Public transport in Havering (links to redirect • [ history] • )    [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

 * → Services of Lothian Buses (links to redirect • [ history] • )    [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

"There was clear consensus at AfD to delete this article with no mention of redirection. Anybody looking for a list of routes will not find one on Wikipedia. Normally fleshing out of redirects to make a full article is "wholly encouraged" but this is absolutely not the case here."

...And then, User:Davey2010 used similiar reasoning to post a RFD request on List of bus routes in Norfolk:

"No longer needed as most Bus routes lists have either been redirected or deleted"

...And then, User:Wilbysuffolk used the same quote by User:Davey2010 to post the rest of the RFDs on this list. So, delete, keep, or do something else entirely? Steel1943 (talk) 02:18, 4 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - Unlikely search term for WP and at worst a misleading hit for people looking for bus timetables off WP. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 05:07, 4 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - unlikely search term, plus the existence of the redirect encourages the bus spotters to keep fleshing out the route info as is happening at articles such as Buses in Bristol. --Bob Re-born (talk) 05:51, 4 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - It may encourage some editors to recreated List of bus routes in X which have all been deleted recently except London therefore they should be deleted. Wilbysuffolk (Talk to me!) 07:29, 4 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - Most Bus routes lists have been deleted & don't want editors recreating them Davey 2010   Talk  18:33, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep A quick Google search tells you that this term is pretty common, usually used by critics. So, someone might run across it and wonder what it is. Ego White Tray (talk) 02:27, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment: Those are strong words :) I created this redirect in 2007 and don't have a huge amount of insight into my thought process. Note that the term does have a bit of use externally, see google results. L Faraone  00:16, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
