Stagecoach in Bedford

[edit]

Stagecoach Group is a big company, it rightly has its own article, and it has many regional activities - but do we really need an article on each region? Particularly when most of its info is bus routes? --Doc (?) 20:24, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Each region is as important as the main group. Ted Ted 20:27, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Sorry 'bro, but I did tell you to take the hint. While someone may find it useful, they are more likely to go to your sources, rather than Wikipedia. Also, I don't think the topic creator is allowed to vote. Sonic Mew 21:56, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
    • If you read the main VfD page: "If you are the primary author or otherwise have a vested interest in the article, say so openly, clearly base your vote on the deletion policy, and vote only once, like everyone else.". That should imply that the main author is allowed to vote, should it not? Sjakkalle 06:35, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This article is simply a list of routes within a given region. If some form of notability could be shown, I'd be happy to change my vote, but at present this article shows none. Scimitar 22:56, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, disagree with Ted. Wikipedia is not a travel guide. Gazpacho 02:22, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, wikipedia is not a travel guide. Megan1967 06:20, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or merge with Stagecoach Group, but trim away the information about the bus routes. Instead, place an external link to Stagecoach in Bedford's website which will surely have a more up-to-date listing of routes. The main public transport provider in a city is notable.

    • Convinced by CalJW that merge is a poor option, so outright keep now. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:18, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, this is not wikitravel. Radiant_* 13:34, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with Stagecoach Group. Karol 13:45, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Merge is the worst possible option. This is certainly less than 1% of Stagecoach's business. Putting this in the main article would be utterly disproportionate and the damage to that article would be far worse than having this article. I have categorised it. CalJW 23:42, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep separate, per CalJW. Kappa 21:41, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete there is simply nothing here that belongs in an encyclopedia--Doc (?) 23:05, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
