Contentious removal of the Pulau Tikus Loop

This user by the name of *angys* has repeatedly removed the Pulau Tikus Loop entry in the template, eventhough I have provided a valid reference ( https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/metro-news/2018/05/19/free-cat-mt-erskine-loop-shuttle-to-start-midjune/) by the edit summary that the bus route still exists. This attitude is uncalled for. Vnonymous ( talk) 15:07, 23 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • I only have this as Star or NST not doing about this. Here is the translation and definitely not fake info whether you believe or not.

I am flabbergasted! User: *angys* actually had the cheek to post on my talk page that my source is outdated. Okay, so for the record, my source is outdated, and all there is to prove that my source is outdated is a site in Chinese? Are the editors here in English Wikipedia able to comprehend, much less read, Chinese characters? IMHO, not only does the Chinese site goes against WP:NONENG (especially when compared to the English news site I posted above), the user's supporting argument via a Facebook page is not in accordance with WP:SOCIALMEDIA. I am calling for a third opinion for this issue, as I do not see any valid reason whatsoever from this user that the Pulau Tikus Loop should be removed from the template.

Response to third opinion request:
I interpret this news story "The Tanjung Tokong/Pulau Tikus loop" as confirmation of the replacement/extension/revamp of the Pulau Tikus loop. So on balance of probabilities I would accept the statement put out on social media by Chris Lee Chun Kit (which itself bends WP:SOCIALMEDIA a little too far).

Thanks for pointing this out, @ Batternut:. The article does point out the existence of a Tanjung Tokong/Pulau Tikus loop. However, it does not conclusively confirm in any way that the Pulau Tikus Loop has been terminated. IMO, until its cancellation is reported by a reliable source and as per WP:WAIT, it would be more prudent to retain the Pulau Tikus Loop entry. Vnonymous ( talk) 07:35, 24 July 2018 (UTC) reply
To be clear, I would favour removing the separate mention of the "Pulau Tikus loop". Batternut ( talk) 09:57, 24 July 2018 (UTC) reply
