User:Dudleybus/Template:Utw

Hi there. I've pasted over {{utw}} with a template from {{FreeContentMeta}} which does not describe it as "the number 1 ", as advertising Wikia projects is not the intention of these templates. The reason I'm notifying you is because you created Template:utw as a redirect to User:Dudleybus/Template:Utw - this is generally bad form as mainspace pages should not use templates in userspace - userspace is kept separate from the encyclopedia. x42bn6 Talk Mess 22:23, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

National Express West Midlands Scania Omnilinks

In regard to the 60x National Express West Midlands Scania Omnilinks due later this year. The following is what I have heard is happening ...

  • Walsall routes 301, 311 and 313 = about 25 buses
  • West Bromwich routes 404 and 404A = about 15 buses
  • Coventry routes 20, 30A, 30C, 40, 50 and 60 = about 15 buses
  • Pensnett unknown route(s) = about 5 buses

This still could dramatically change though, its a case of waiting and seeing. Sorry is this disappoints you ;-) BUT apparently another 60x are on order for 2009. Curran1980 (talk) 15:41, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your response, I have been given an UPDATE today which is : NXWM are now only having 30x Omnilinks for this year, 15 at Coventry and 15 at West Bromwich .... to get "one up" on competitors Stagecoach and "Red" Diamond. HOWEVER the new 404/404A schedule now needs about 19 vehicles, so it looks like nobody really knows whats happening. I will be removing the unreferenced future allocations on the Misplaced Pages articles and hope nobody posts it again unless there is a solid reference.

Re: National Express West Midlands Line 33

Thanks for telling me about this, as I hadn't realised and thought it was a horrible americanisation. I have been thinking about it, and surely if "Line 33" is such a strong brand, then the article should be called something like "Line 33 (National Express West Midlands route)"? I moved it to keep it in line with the standard routes, after all it's not a "Premier route" is it? Another reason I moved it was that it said the link to the UK Transport Wiki was "National Express West Midlands route 33", although I have just discovered this is incorrect.

Speedy deletion of Template:... route ...

A tag has been placed on Template:... route ... requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages.

Proposed deletion of National Express West Midlands route X96

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article National Express West Midlands route X96, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non notable bus article. If you believe this article should be saved, delete this notice as per instructions, but also please add to discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject buses/UK bus route quality drive, extra input will be very helpful!

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. I have also tagged the following articles:

The article West Midlands bus route 997 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unremarkable bus route

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

AfD nomination of West Midlands bus route 33

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is West Midlands bus route 33. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Misplaced Pages:Notability and "What Misplaced Pages is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/West Midlands bus route 33. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:10, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
