[edit] Bronx Bus Routes and Brooklyn Bus Routes

Unencyclopedic. Bus routes change like hot cakes. Could possibly be transwikied to wikitravel, but I suggest delete. —Markaci 2005-04-8 T 00:15 Z

Delete - my city has bus routes too, as does every town and city; definitely not encyclopaedic --AYArktos 01:58, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Not every city has busses unfortunately... Sjakkalle 09:11, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • As I understand it noting can be transwikied to wikitravel, not encyclopedic, delete--nixie 03:30, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep (and remove the links implying articles for each one) or transwiki to Wikisource. Bus routes may change, but usually they keep the same name and general path. --SPUI (talk) 03:55, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Highly, highly trivial. If I wanted to know the bus routes, I'd check the city's DOT website. Sideline: how often do hot cakes change? Asriel86 05:36, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
    • And how many NYC transit officials does it take to change a hot cake? —Wahoofive | Talk 05:49, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete who'd look up a bus route in an encyclopedia? —Wahoofive | Talk 05:49, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: Information not static and historical value of information is extremely limited. --Fuzzball! (talk) 05:51, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. If Wikipedia documented every bus route in the world that would be a wonderful thing. --Gene_poole 06:01, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • The only thing that would be wonderful about it is that we'd hit our millionth article much faster. "We're pleased to announce that the English Wikipedia has reached one million articles with the creation of Barstow Transit Authority Routes 11-25. Delete. sɪzlæk [ +t, +c ] 08:03, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, bus routes are subject to too much changes, also it's something you shouldn't be looking up in an encyclopedia. Local public transport sites can do a much better job. Mgm|(talk) 08:13, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep or merge with the New York City bus system article. I voted delete on, and nominated two of, the articles for individual routes, but I will accept a condensed listing of them since they are an integral part of the network. Sjakkalle 09:09, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete not encyclopedic, utterly trivial, and a bad thing Dsmdgold 09:57, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete This is not encyclopaedic content --Bucephalus 11:07, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Bus routes change at least once a year where I live and I suspect it is the same in New York. Capitalistroadster 11:16, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete very unencyclopedic. WikiTravel wouldn't even want this. Radiant_* 15:55, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete not encyclopedic. Bus routes change too rapidly for us to be noting them at wikipedia. Dave the Red (talk) 19:23, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unencyclopedic, impossible to maintain. RickK 22:48, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep All Bus routes are encyclopedic for a truely great enecyclopedia which aspires to contain all human knowledge. Klonimus 01:30, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not encyclopedic; impossible to protect from vandalism. --Carnildo 23:05, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. -Sean Curtin 22:13, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not Encyclopedic; get rid of it. -Joe Philipson
  • Probably just under the threshold of necessary public transport coverage. Weak delete. Slac speak up! 00:28, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a general knowledge base. Susvolans (pigs can fly) 11:45, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, too trivial, too likely to change and be rendered incorrect. -- Dcfleck 12:54, 2005 Apr 12 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unencyclopaedic. --G Rutter 16:15, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Pavel Vozenilek 00:42, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
