370:, albeit with lesser detail. This is a functional and useful article which I and other refer to on a regular basis. Knowledge (XXG) encompasses a broader concept of what is encyclopaedic than that which is traditional, and thus incorporates articles all over the world about public transport services, such as an analogous page for every Australian urban rail system and one for every line and station. Most importantly - the previous incarnation of this article (renamed from (Brisbane) to the more accurate (South East Queensland)) was permitted to survive. 560:. I would not support keeping the current bus timetable on Knowledge (XXG), but this is similar information to many, many other public transport system articles. IMO, an article like this (accurate, maintained, sourced real information useful to people) should not be deleted; at worst, it should be moved to another Wiki, but I'm not even convinced of that in this case. 231:- it is by no means a lesser version. There is no page on the Translink site that has all this information without wading through hundreds of PDF files. I've relied on it, and there are many of us who frequently update the page as new information is made available that otherwise wouldn't be on the Translink site. - 270:
to Wikisource. While I am normally reluctant to vote delete on a Wikiproject associated article, I think that this is not appropriate for Knowledge (XXG). From my experience of the Canberra system, bus services change at least a yearly basis so this would be very difficult to keep up to date. Perhaps

The suggestion that this information is out of date or unreliable is erroneous and without foundation. I update this article regularly and in advance of all changes released by TransLink. Knowledge (XXG) is intended to be dynamic and not static. Further, other articles use the route data, such as

With regards to JustinC: the proposition that current information is not valid content for a dynamic online encyclopaedia such as Knowledge (XXG) is so misconceived that I do not know where to begin. This is also clearly not a tourist guide e.g. as would appear on WikiTravel or a brochure.

per Wikicats comment about other route articles and Morvens vote. The information is simply detailing the routes that are available. It has precedent and is easy to keep up to date as the routes are not as subject to major change as the timetable schemes.
725:- this is not a timetable - it's a list of routes and is perfectly acceptable - Hong Kong MTR, CityRail, Metlink, Transperth all have bus routes mentioned in articles - so why not this one. The article needs work, but that's not a reason to delete it. ( 758:
for goodness' sake. I think there is ample and substantiated precedent for keeping this page which has apparently been disregarded by some, or if not disregarded then in being acknowledged has resulted in an uneven application of policy.
633:
The information is clearly disclaimed with an admonition to check TransLink. This is not a timetable or schedule at all as there is no indication of running times, only of the services provided.

See above, it is very easy to keep this up to date, and I am willing to do so. Knowledge (XXG) is not non-changing.
