334:(note that I am currently waiting for the closing admin of that discussion to respond to my objections about the closure of that discussion, as the generic points about classes of articles were clearly shown to be incorrect and no reasons to delete that specific article were advanced other than "it's a travel guide", which was also rebuffed). The list needs a better intro, formatting work (e.g. an explanation of the colouring) and better referencing but these are not reasons to delete the encyclopaedic information about bus travel in the Sudbury area.

The encyclopedic value is minimal. If this type of thing has been kept in the past, that situation could be revisited. It should carry no weight in this discussion other than being an example of "two wrongs don't make a right"
