Unremarkable bus route. AD 19:02, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is an important bus route for the community of the High Peak - Stockport, and ought to have an article to justify its existence.RCSprinter123 (talk) 19:04, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- That's not how Wikipedia works. We aren't about everything that exists, only things covered indepth by third-party sources. There's nothing to show that this is a notable bus route outside the areas it covers. AD 19:08, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- (edit conflict) It may well be important locally, but that alone isn't enough to justify an article. As I mentioned on the article's talk page, it needs to meet WP:GNG by having references to reliable sources, and I can't find anything beyond a single passing mention. Not enough to base an article on, so I have to say delete as well. Alzarian16 (talk) 19:11, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
i have now moved all content from this page and the other derbyshire bus routes to a page called Important bus routes in Derbyshire, so they can be found there in a list instead of having seperate articles.RCSprinter123 (talk) 22:11, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete: I'm pretty sure the bus route existed before Wikipedia, and may even exist AFTER Wikipedia; my experience with numerous transit systems suggests that bus routes get along just fine without articles. That being said, what element of the GNG or any other notability criterion does this route meet? Ravenswing 21:53, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
