Select Bus Services moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Select Bus Services, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

November 2020
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Draft:Select Bus Services. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. ''Decline notices from AFC state that they should not be removed. They are removed when the article is accepted, but are kept on the draft until then. They should not be removed when resubmitting the draft.'' Robert McClenon (talk) 02:22, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
