[edit] Sydney bus route 400

I don't think Wikipedia is an appropriate place for articles on bus routes that aren't particularly notable or famous. There's also a risk that the information on such a page could change fairly quickly without contributors noticing. My main disagreement is that the Wikipedia page is really only rehashing the content of the Sydney transport information website. -- Netsnipe 07:02, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Likely to change quickly and it is unlikely that people will use Wikipedia to look up bus routes. Capitalistroadster 07:58, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, Wikipedia is not a bus schedule. --Coredesat 09:09, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

  Honestly how can so many people agree with this? The article is not a bus schedule and does not attempt to give a schedule. It is about the route itself. The article gives details that are not found in a bus schedule, summarises information in ways not found in a bus schedule, gives wikipedia-links to stops which you don't get from a bus schedule, and does not list arrival times. It is a Wikipedia article, not a bus schedule. —Pengo 16:00, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete individual bus routes in Sydney are not notable. The situation with List of Melbourne tram routes is thoroughly different as they are long established and have a degree of permanence, and are better written; they are more analogous to pages about railway lines.

• Yay, that's my bus route! Delete. - ҉ Randwicked ҉ 12:33, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep for its usefulness i've often looked up bus and tram routes on Wikipedia, which have more detailed, accessable and informative info than the timetables. I've also caught the 400 plenty of times and welcome the article. —Pengo 15:47, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
