Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Trust

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Local charity, that fails WP:ORG, in that what coverage that exists is limited to local sources and nothing significant; no Gnews hits. Codf1977 (talk) 11:22, 7 July 2010 (UTC) happy to withdraw in fav of rename. Codf1977 (talk) 13:47, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Rename as Transport Museum, Wythall and expand. The Trust is the owner of the collection, the manager of the Transport Museum and a licensed bus operator. Corporation Cart (talk) 12:16, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep but rename to The Transport Museum, Wythall (which redirects to it), modifying the intro in an obvious fashion. ( has gnews hits.) Occuli (talk) 12:25, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename to The Transport Museum, Wythall per Occuli and Corporation Cart. Jeni  ( talk ) 12:59, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename per above. The museum has enough coverage to bump it over the notability bar. , , , and  for example. -- Whpq (talk) 13:05, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename. Clearly notable. Andy Mabbett (User: Pigsonthewing ); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 13:10, 7 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Notable museum, with a significant collection. If the nominator had searched under the museum's name (or even just for B&M buses) they'd have found any amount of coverage. Neutral on rename, as the redirect covers both and the "Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus" part of the name is a bit more distinctive than the relatively anonymous "transport museum".

 * Keep and rename as The Transport Museum, Wythall. Had a Heritage Lottery Fund grant of nearly a million pounds, which implies notability. Rwendland (talk) 13:21, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename as The Transport Museum, Wythall. No lack  of notability and available references. IMHO another cqse of drive-by  tagging.--Kudpung (talk) 14:35, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think so - if look at the Find sources above - NO GNews hits, and as I said in the nom only other sources were local in nature the charity does fail WP:ORG. Codf1977 (talk) 14:47, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * You obviously  didn't  look  very  far, if you  looked at  all for WP:BEFORE. How about  the Birmingham  government  site, and a couple of newspapers. Ready  when you  are...--Kudpung (talk) 17:14, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
