Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Coastliner 700
A single bus route, one of a number listed at List of bus routes in West Sussex, cannot possibly be notable in its own right."''? That isn't written in any policy or guideline anywhere, and is pretty much the definition of  and . There are over 600 articles about individual bus routes on Wikipedia, several of which have survived deletion debates (e.g. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/London Buses route 394 (2nd nomination)), and one, The Witch Way, has GA status. So the general principle behind the nomination is demostrably wrong. As for the specific case, the sources already in the article include http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/local/east-hampshire/south_coast_bus_travel_gets_a_green_upgrade_1_1248666 and http://www.theargus.co.uk/blogs/blogs/alicewright/4648432.Get_Your_Kicks_on_Route_700_/, which are arguably enough to meet the requirements at  by themselves, but if anyone's in any doubt, here are some more: http://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/local/all_aboard_for_ride_on_the_coastal_expressway_1_1510389, http://www.wscountytimes.co.uk/news/local/horsham_blamed_over_bus_failure_1_819297 and a substantial write-up in Buses Magazine a few years back that I can't link to because it only exists offline. How exactly can this not possibly be notable
