[edit] Capalaba Bus Station, Brisbane

This particular bus station claims no notability, it's not even in a major city, parts of it also conflict with WP:NOT as it's just a list of bus routes Obli (Talk) 23:17, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Please note that there are articles for most bus stations in this transit system, it would seriously mess things up if we deleted one of them. Obli (Talk) 10:56, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

• Merge into TransLink (Brisbane) services TransLink (Brisbane), which should be renamed in and of itself. Youngamerican 00:44, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per above. Stifle 19:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as there are any number of precedents, in metropolitan Brisbane (of which this station is a part) and Perth, all of which have current lists of routes. The fact that nobody here probably even knows where Capalaba is does not make it unnotable (last time I checked Brisbane is probably notable, sheesh), and for this deletion to be logical all references to bus stations in Australian cities would have to be deleted. I find it very irrational for example that the Eastern Region's less important bus station, Victoria Point has no vote for deletion. Further, what part of WP:NOT does it clash with? It is not a directory, list of definitions, primary research, advertising, a collection of links or files, a blog or even really a travel guide or FAQ.SM247 08:21, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, the way I see it, that list of bus routes does not belong here, compare it to a phone directory if you will, but I'm fairly sure none of them have any claim to notability. What if everyone wanted an entry for their bus routes? They belong in the bus schedule. However, I see it's huge undertaking, it would be a bad thing to delete all of the related articles :( Obli (Talk) 10:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Ruby. --King of All the Franks 10:47, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. If you all insist on deleting, then why not delete everything else? What is so abhorrent about Capalaba? By your logic, you should delete every railway station e.g. Traveston, which only has a bus stop sized platform and gets two trains a day. What is so notable about that? I also refute any claim that Capalaba or Redland Shire is not notable - it has a detailed article of its own. That fact you don't know where it is is irrelevant. I've probably never heard of the vast majority of places in the world that have their own articles. I have cited several precedents to establish the validity of this article. If you delete this, delete everything. Further, Wikipedia is not meant to be static, that is why we can edit it.SM247 21:09, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I found this particular article just by chance, and didn't bother to look any further. Had I known how many related articles there were I would have thought twice about it. I withdraw my nomination, anyone may however re-nominate it together with any related articles or parts of them that doesn't compy with WP:NOT. Obli (Talk) 21:20, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
