Make R to anchor (edit protected)

Can someone please make this an {{R from London bus route}} to List of bus routes in London#200-299. Since the list is very long, over time I have been R'ing them to anchors at the section titles where the list is split. Without them, this and similar redirects are just redirect loops and should be deleted per WP:G8. Thanks, Si Trew (talk) 10:36, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Creation of page

Given this route was the first accessible double decker route in London, and has plenty of varied sources - I feel it passes the notability criteria, rather than when this page was last reverted back in the day. Turini2 (talk) 10:46, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969 "With zero in-depth coverage from independent sources, does not pass GNG" As well as pointing out my message regarding notability - I did seek out independent sources for this article (e.g. Low floor buses in London book), when compared to the previous attempt at this article several years ago. Hasn't taken me long to find other sources mentioning the 242 - e.g. this. Many bus route articles have even less sources than this - e.g. route 240!

I was following this redirect prior to recreation, so this popped up in my watchlist. I have restored the page, but suspect it will be taken to WP:AFD soon. It could do with some newspaper sources to help convince other editors that this route is notable. Best wishes NemesisAT (talk) 16:54, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
