The result was delete all, except List of bus routes in Sydney, there's enough reason to keep that one. The rest are not, and have no chance of ever being encyclopedia articles. - Bobet 12:42, 15 August 2006 (UTC) reply
Unencyclopedic, Wikipedia is not a directory ( WP:NOT). Detailed information such as this can not be easily maintained as bus routes and frequencies change. Information on the areas served by buses should be on a general page such as Buses in Sydney, with a link to detailed information of bus timetables etc that is readily available from the State Transit Authority's website.

If this list has to go then all of the other ones would too, and every reference. The proposal is ridiculous, and it should be defeated; but at the very least the main page should stay. It's not an individual route page. (

Proposal - I'm fed up with this debate - it's plagued by deletionists who have contributed nothing to (or even know nothing about) Sydney Public Transport information, then propose everything for deletion under a misguided reading of WP:NOT - let's propose a compromise. Let's have a single page of all the bus routes List of bus routes in Sydney (probably moved to "List of Sydney bus routes" to be consistent with other Australian cities), without journey time, frequency and sections. Just where they go (from, to, via), the bus operator and the depot which serves that particular route (if relevant). If it doesn't run all day or is a peak hour express only route, that should be included. A link to the timetable on the bus site should also be included perhaps (optional). And any interesting information, like the former tram route buses. Perhaps this will satisfy people ... comments anyone? ( JROBBO 14:07, 10 August 2006 (UTC)) reply
