B13 Noteability

I want the page to stay but I don’t know to provide fact-checked history about the B13, except with what I can find. For which parts of the article do you want evidence? Wikis6501 (talk) 15:28, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just got rid of two parts of the B13 under History that don’t have evidence. Wikis6501 (talk) 15:31, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Wikis6501, I placed the notice stating that it may not meet GNG, particularly because I thought that it didn't meet the second part: "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." At the time I was reading it, I only identified one independent source.

For B13 in particular, I noted that the history had a large section without citations, for example:

"The B13 route began on October 25, 1921 under the operation of Independent Buses. It was then operated by the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation years later, before it was sold to the City on June 1, 1940. The original route was between the Cypress Hills station and Seaview Avenue. It was merged with the first B19 route on May 1, 1938, then extended to Ridgewood Terminal around 1947."

I would imagine some of the detail of this could be from MTA, but there may also be good secondary sources on public transit in Brooklyn more generally that could provide citations and help to establish notability. The Notability (transport) page might be also be a useful resource. Hope this helps! Ewhite31 (talk) 15:55, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Citations are hard to find. Two of the bus pages that show evidence-lacking history have the tag “citation needed”, and that may have kept the pages from being redirected, so I’m going to add these tags. I live in a working-class family who does not want me to pay for what they think is unnecessary stuff, which may be the only way to get citations sometimes. Where I was able to get evidence I cited it. Capisce? Wikis6501 (talk) 16:59, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
