Fails WP:NLIST - I cannot find reliable sources that discuss the agency's bus fleet as a whole, merely run-of-the-mill coverage of individual types entering service. The vast majority of information here is uncited, and several of the citations are self-published sources. A substantially condensed and properly cited list of current fleet would be appropriate at Memphis Area Transit Authority, but Wikipedia is not a database of unsourced trivia about all-time fleets.

I agree with merging the condensed current fleet with the main page. But how do you recommend properly citing fleet information when it is not published by the transit agency? ElToAn123 (talk) 22:23, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fleet lists are generally in the realm of WP:FANCRUFT and very few would ever have enough reliable independent (non self-published) coverage to be considered notable. This one is no exception. Ajf773 (talk) 08:38, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete: Fails NLIST, doesn't serve a purpose under WP:CLN. No objection to a consensus redirect, but do not think it helpful. // Timothy :: talk 14:51, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete by NLIST or NOTDB. Less detailed tables would have worked with a detailed article on the MATA bus operations. gidonb (talk) 05:49, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
