:The contents of that page can be summarized in a paragraph or two in a section about the physical presence of the depot in the [[Express Car Service]] page. We don't need separate pages for the same reason mentioned above; it forces readers to navigate across multiple pages to read about a subject matter, and adds extra workload to the editors when links need to be added or information needs to be corrected. It's like creating a page for ''every'' [[Pay 'n' Spray]] outlet, despite each varying only by location. - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 12:34, 2 October 2011 (BST) | :The contents of that page can be summarized in a paragraph or two in a section about the physical presence of the depot in the [[Express Car Service]] page.

Interesting discussion. You're right that there is a difference between the company and its outlets. However, in this situation they are so closely tied together that anyone who looks at one would ''expect'' to find information about the other. With [[SAPD]] etc there are many police stations, but there can be quite a lot of information about some of them, so individual pages are useful. Whilst for [[24/7]] there are lots of outlets but they are almost identical, so having 13 identical articles for all the different 24/7 shops in San Andreas would be silly - a list/table is much better (and you can add a bullet point for every difference in each store, if any). | |||
With Romans Taxis, I don't think there is ''much'' information that would belong on the individual outlet pages. Most of the info on both [[Express Car Service Depot]] and [[Roman's Taxi Depot, Algonquin]] is about the storyline, not the building, which all should be on the company's [[Express Car Service]] page. Unless the articles have useful detailed descriptions of the buildings (like [[Washington Beach Police Station|this]]), then we don't need articles about the buildings. With the information that exists at the moment, it all belongs on one page. Make sense? [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 15:58, 2 October 2011 (BST) | |||
