List already included in List of bus routes in Cambridgeshire therefore not needed. Wilbysuffolk (Talk to me!) 08:32, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As you've merged it, the page's history is needed for attribution, so unless List of bus routes in Cambridgeshire is also deleted at least a redirect would be needed, however maybe it should stay as a separate page as Peterborough and Cambridgeshire are separate local authorities for transport.

Oppose - the rationale given isn't obvious here. As above, they are separate LAs so why merge the content from one into another and then put one up for deletion? Now, there are lots of reasons for potentially deleting lists if buses - they are generally unencyclopaedic, but for an editor to simply merge one into another and then go to AfD rather than through the merge or redirect process is procedurally dubious in my opinion. On those ground, without prejudice for deleting both articles in question based on notability, I oppose with an undoing of the edits to the list for Cambs at the same time.

Procedural Oppose per Blue Squre Thing. I would support undoing the merge and putting both articles up for deletion as they fail notability and What Wikipedia is not policies. They also look outdated and misleading.--Charles (talk) 10:03, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural close. If the content has indeed been merged into List of bus routes in Peterborough then it is necessary to retain the page so that the attribution history of the edits is preserved; the page thus cannot be deleted. The page would ordinarily be redirected with proper linkage to and from the target article as described at Wikipedia:Merge#How_to_merge. No opinion on the merits of the merge but as it is evidently controversial, it should be undone and a merge discussion started to determine consensus as described at Wikipedia:Merge#Proposing_a_merger. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 01:31, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete—fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTTRAVEL. Lists like these should be transwikied to Wikivoyage rather than left on Wikipedia. Imzadi 1979 → 00:15, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
