2013 depot fire list and other recent deletions
While a list of the buses destroyed in the depot fire may be of interest to some, it is Fancruft and thus should not be included. The article gives an overview of the buses destroyed.Mo7838 (talk) 19:31, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * What an interseting word! According to that guidance it is often considered perjorative (I can see that), and is generlaly applied to whole articles. I don't think that any of the recently deleted information fails the WP:NOT criteria.


 * 1) The details of the destroyed buses are crucial to interpreting the fleet list further down the acticle as that predates the fire. Once a new, citable, list is available that may change. Informed readers may also notice the problem in the large number of full-size vehicles that have been replaced by hired-in small buses.
 * 2) For the owner to be voted to a significant, honorary position in the bus community helps put his acheivements in perspective.
 * 3) There is no 'correct' place for the Companies House registration citation, but WP:LEADCITE suggests it should support the body of the article in preference to the lead section. Geof Sheppard (talk) 12:56, 23 September 2013 (UTC)


 * It is an interesting word.
 * 1) ✅ Can see your logic, and perhaps pending a new fleetlist being published, is valid
 * 2), the article is about the company, the outside activities / achievements of its owners or employees is not relevant
 * 3) Partially ✅, is no hard and fast rule, protocol in other bus articles and rail (eg Arriva Trains Wales, Virgin Trains) is for it to go in the lead.Mo7838 (talk) 09:28, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
