message: This article is as of Monday, March 25, out of date. Some routes have changed, and some have been eliminated.  I know because I'm a bus rider, and found out my 14 bus no longer is on the eastside, but rather downtown now, among other major changes.--Ben414 (talk) 02:21, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Update Article

message: I removed the cleanup tag that has been on the article since 2008. While it can still use improvement and expansion, there are now 10+ references (none before) plus an infobox. The organization scheme is also much better since the list of bus routes has been separated into a different article. Wantonlife (talk) 03:10, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Hi , I'm a bit confused regarding your position that bus routes should not be included. First, you cited WP:NOTTRAVEL, but I fail to see how bus route information violates that policy any more than much of the railway content on WP. Now you're saying the routes are not notable, but according to the "This page in a nutshell" box at WP:NOTABLE, notability only covers whether a topic should have its own article or not. These routes are part of a larger article. There are plenty of bus route lists that do have their own article, at :Category:Lists of bus routes. Could you please clarify why you keep removing content? NemesisAT (talk) 19:09, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I have been searching and found plenty of sources regarding these routes. So there is scope for sourcing to be improved. NemesisAT (talk) 19:26, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Based on these two deletion discussions where  took a "take my toys and go home" approach to their articles being deleted, they should abstain from any further deletions and edit warring over this. The only objection I had in my deletion rationale is unsourced information, which NAT is clearly addressing with proper sourcing to the Biz Journal and not having it in an over-packed grid.Nate • (chatter) 00:59, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
