Non-notable bus route, The article is sourced to a number of of sources which are either primary or tangential to the route as a whole neither of which establish notability per the General notability guidleines which require "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Any key information can be inserted into the Southern Vectis article but doesn't need its own sprawling article with an unsourced/unsourceable history.

Delete -- I have been voting to delete lists of bus routes. I hardly believed that we would get a whole article on a single route. If there are more, please to a multiple nomination for them all. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:23, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. All of the supplied refs either make just passing mention of the route or are routine notices such as timetables, demonstrating it is non-notable. I haven't looked through all the articles on Southern Vectis routes, but I suspect all the routes are similarly non-notable. I think a multiple nomination of all these articles is warranted — I hope someone knows how to do this.—A bit iffy (talk) 17:06, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Unless there is something notable about the route itself, other than being a route (if that makes sense?). --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 19:12, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple nominations aren't a problem, and I did consider it but a test case (i.e; this nomination) ensures that there is a general consensus for or against these specific articles. If this closes on Delete I'll assess and list all similar vectis routes. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 17:20, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds reasonable—A bit iffy (talk) 19:08, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A few tourist bus routes may be notable but this is not one of them.--Charles (talk) 22:47, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
