London Buses route 414
edit- ... that of the six bus routes to terminate at Putney Bridge tube station, London Buses route 414 is the only one to remain entirely north of the River Thames?
- Comment: I copied the infobox from a previous revision, the raw data (Current route) from the stated source, and wrote the text from scratch.

The notability issue would seem to be the chief one here, along with the hook. Since the article was created from a redirect on November 18, it is a 5x expansion: according to DYKcheck it counts both as a 5x expansion and is above the minimum 1500 prose characters needed for all articles nominated at DYK, new or expanded or GA. However, the reason it was a redirect is that it was considered non-notable in both 2009 and 2010, and it may still be so. Until the issue is settled one way or the other, this cannot gain approval.

- Last month, version 2 of Google Maps JavaScript API v2 was depreciated meaning that the source I used, the interactive map, no longer works. I saw the issue happen almost after it happened and I deliberately didn't change the links; when TfL get their heads together and update their systems the links will work again, and for now one can simply type the route number to obtain the link. The problem with the previous version of the article was that it was completely unreferenced and a bit of a mess, hence why it was redirected. This version is well referenced.--Launchballer 08:36, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
- Even so, the map does not show it is the only route to remain north of the river, because it does not include the other bus routes. The hook is a synthesis of multiple sources by the author. Sionk (talk) 12:15, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that five of the six routes to terminate at Putney Bridge tube station, 39, 85, 93, 265 and 270, go south of the River Thames and the sixth, the 414, remains north of it?
- 192 characters, according to DYK check.--Launchballer 13:29, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
