[edit] Jurong East Bus Interchange

This looks like a local bus station on Jurong Island. No further information is given other than that a fair number of buses leave there. Wikipedia is not a timetable. Maybe this can go to Wikitravel, but this is not the right place here. Pilatus 08:32, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. It is a major terminus, where many trunk services begin to other major parts of Singapore. Jurong East is a considered a regional town. - Mailer Diablo 09:01, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
  • it's the bus-equivalent of a dictionary definition, that's why Wikipedia is not the right place for it. Pilatus 08:58, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

• Weak Keep. I don't like it, but there are numerous other examples of this kind of article at Category:Bus stubs. If they stay, this should stay as well. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 09:09, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

This argument is fallacious. If we accept the premise that we should never delete an article because at least one other article of its kind exists on Wikipedia, it is likely that no articles can ever be deleted. If you think it should be deleted, then vote accordingly on this vote standing by itself, and deal with the "numerous other examples" in their own time. Nandesuka 12:12, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Bus interchanges are major bus terminals in Singapore worthy of articles. If we can have one for every single Metro station, I dont see why bus terminals cannot have one.--Huaiwei 10:30, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Unfortunately it's true about the rocks and twigs. I suspect that countries the size of singapore put extra weight on features that us in larger countries regard as fairly ordinary. In any case, this is a fairly major interchange. Grutness...wha? 10:40, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as above --Mecanismo 18:33, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, bus terminals are not inherently notable. Lord Bob 01:13, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, Jurong East Int is a major Interchange in Singapore worthy of an article. Also per Mailer Diablo and others.Advanced 04:58, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Lord Bob. If the vote is to keep I may start writing articles on the bus terminals in Greater Manchester - be warned!. Theres also quite an unassuming bus terminal in New Mills in Derbyshire - if Jurong East deserves an article, I'm New Mills Bus Terminal does too. Rhyddfrydol 21:39, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  • How many bus terminals are there in Greater Manchester?--Huaiwei 21:50, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Apart 9 or 10 that I know of -- Rhyddfrydol 20:19, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Well why not? As long as these articles are well-written. =D -Mailer Diablo 09:32, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or transwiki to wikitravel if there is a category for this. Vegaswikian 04:58, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikitravel's license policy is not compatible with our's, so they can't take it. This is still localized buscruft. / Peter ^Isotalo 21:47, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Nonsense! Why delete this article? This is the greatest terminal in Singapore!!!--Ruennsheng 08:26, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
