• Delete -- per precedent. A few montha ago, we did a wholesale deletion of bus route articles. They inevitably require regular maintenance, which we cannot guarantee. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:47, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• The wholesale deletion was of bus route lists. Articles about specific routes are subject to the general notability guideline. Articles of this type probably require less maintenance than most articles - they are rarely vandalised, and are intended to provide encyclopedic coverage, not current travel information.

• Delete as per precedent. Maybe an alternate option is to move it to Wikivoyage? -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 17:47, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• It's unsuitable for Wikivoyage, as it's an encyclopedia article, not an itinerary, and the topic is a bus route, not a destination. Peter James (talk) 12:23, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete as notability has not been established, and the main editor has been inactive here since 2011. I can't find a precedent that applies here - the deletion of the lists isn't; there's Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Southern Vectis route 1 (but there are probably more sources here); there is also Talk:The Witch Way/GA2.
