:::Everything does change at some point, but still not justification for not including in an article. The ] article states she is the Britain’s head of state. At some point she will cease to be, should we delete this on the basis that at some point in the future this will change? Of course not. No doubt, there are plenty of outdated articles and when come across should be updated or deleted. |

:::The ] article states that it operates ], when it has been operated by ] for the last 3 weeks. So should we throw out the baby with the bathwater, because one bit of information is slightly out of date, or fix and retain? |

:::Applying the 'everything changes' logic, references to services should be deleted from this and every other bus operator article, likewise railway station and all other public transport articles. As stated before, a listing of services is standard for pieces of public transport infrastructure. It provides nowhere near enough information to enable a reader to plan a journey. |

:::Have copied in the ] and ] sections. Can the relevant section that would preclude be highlighted? |

# '''Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics''' such as (but not limited to) quotations, ]s, or persons (real or fictional). If you want to enter lists of quotations, put them into our sister project ]. Of course, there is nothing wrong with having ] if their entries are relevant ''because'' they are associated with or significantly contribute to the list topic. Misplaced Pages also includes reference tables and tabular information for quick reference. ''Merged groups of small articles'' based on a core topic are permitted. (See ] for clarification.) |
|
|
# '''Genealogical entries'''. Biography articles should only be for people with some sort of fame, achievement, or perhaps notoriety. One measure of these is whether someone has been featured in several external sources (on- or offline). Less well known people may be mentioned within other articles. |
|
|
# '''The ] or ] Pages'''. Contact information such as phone numbers, fax numbers and e-mail addresses are not encyclopedic. |
|
|
# '''], directory entries, ], or a resource for conducting business'''. For example, an article on a radio station should not list upcoming events, current promotions, current schedules, etc., although mention of major events, promotions or historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable. Likewise an article on a business should not contain a list of all the company's patent filings. Furthermore, the Talk pages associated with an article are for talking about the article, not for conducting the business of the topic of the article. |
|
|
# '''Sales catalogues'''. An article should not include product pricing or availability information unless there is a ] ''and'' a justified reason for the mention. Encyclopedic significance may be indicated if mainstream media sources (not just ]) provide commentary on these details instead of just passing mention. Prices and product availability can vary widely from place to place and over time. Misplaced Pages is not a ] to compare the prices of competing products, or the prices and availability of a single product from different vendors or retailers. |
|
|
# {{anchor|Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations}}'''Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations''', such as "people from ethnic / cultural / religious group X employed by organization Y" or "restaurants specializing in food type X in city Y". Cross-categories like these are not considered sufficient basis to create an article, unless the intersection of those categories is in some way a culturally significant phenomenon. See also ] for this issue in categories. |

# '''Travel guides.''' An article on ] should mention landmarks, such as the ] and the ], but not the telephone number or street address of the "best" restaurants, nor the current price of a ''café au lait'' on the ]. Misplaced Pages is not the place to recreate content more suited to entries in hotel or culinary guides, travelogues, and the like. Notable locations may meet the inclusion criteria, but the resulting articles need not include every tourist attraction, restaurant, hotel or venue, etc. While travel guides for a city will often mention distant attractions, a Misplaced Pages article for a city should only list those that are actually in the city. Such details may be welcome at ] instead. ] (]) 00:28, 2 August 2014 (UTC) |
If service frequencies, times, platform numbers etc were included, ie trying to replicate a timetable, then this would likely be in breach, but to simply list the services would appear not. Astbam (talk) 01:20, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
Since the station opened 9 years ago, there have been no changes to the routes operating via it. Last change to routes serving the area, was the introduction of route 436 in February 2003. So after 11 years with no changes, think it is fair to say the routes serving the station are stable. Astbam (talk) 06:27, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
