WP:NOTDIR. No evidence of importance or notability of any of these routes. Article went to PROD but removed with "Of course we should list bus routes in one of the worlds major cities - use a bit of common sense" ... well no, notability is not inherent

10:08, 18 May 2021 (UTC)): In the end current transport/routes are better left to transportation websites; Wikipedia will tend to lag these and simply be a maintenance drag. If a Mumbai bus article covered generically the cited development of bus services in Mumbai then that would be a far different matter. Thankyou. 12:05, 9 May 2021 (UTC) — Preceding

This nomination and the "delete" votes following it seem to indicate that Wikipedia has been taken over by people with no common sense whatsoever. There are loads of sources that show that this passes
WP:NLIST, such as those found by Find sources:Google (
books·news·scholar·free images·WP refs) ·FENS·JSTOR·TWL and many other searches. Is none of you capable of spending a minute or two actually helping to build this encyclopedia by looking for such sources rather than giving ignorant "delete" opinions? Notability guidelines are there to help decide non-obvious cases, not obvious ones like this.

And the search results link to actual sources. I was working on the assumption that you were here to help build an encyclopedia, rather than pass judgement on others' failure to jump through hoops.

Loads of sources? this article only has two! My vote is Merge with Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport Most transit agencies either have lists of bus routes as articles, or sections of articles. I can't find anywhere in
WP:NOTDIR that says we can't list bus routes. That said, on
WP:GNG grounds, I cannot vote to keep this article.

Yes, loads of sources. AfD discussions are supposed to be about the sources that exist, not just those that are currently cited in the article.

Delete. As for the lack of common sense mentioned above with regards to the deletion, I would only say that Wikipedia standards have changed. Not sure if it is for bad or good.

Comment: To re-inforce my !vote above redirect or merge inappropriate here ... its just not the right sort of title to redirect. If where was a merge it should be honked under the talk page to keep the old attribution. Thankyou.
