Keep: Please look at the
Category:Lists of bus routes' there are close to a hundred or so articles in that cat, and all of them are of equal and comparable notability as compared to this article. Since bus routes of other major cities are allowed I don't see any reason why this metro city article should be culled. The sourcing issue is solvable, since there are many many articles on this topic in English and Tamil media such as this.

I'm not getting your reasoning that just because a list of bus routes in one city is notable, then somehow this one is because it fits into a specific category. Trivial coverage like the ones you've mentioned doesn't add much value to the article.

Those articles aren't even remotely similar. Around 10-20% of the routes operated in London are notable enough to have their own article, and as there is a whole range of referenceable content relating to
Buses in London the list is therefore notable. Neither of those are criteria are satisfied in the Chennai bus routes list. Both those AfD's closed over a decade ago too.

Delete Not buying the
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. This list is just a replication of the kind of poster displayed at bus-stops, no use to our readers unless they intend on hopping on a bus. Given we're
not a mirror, and there's no other noted significance about the routes, historic or otherwise, i'm not seeing any encyclopedic loss should this be deleted. The prose appears to replicate the lede of
Metropolitan Transport Corporation (Chennai) but with different figures.
