 * Keep, no merge: References 5 and 6 are to me just enough to be considered significant, and they are independent of each other. This is enough to confer notability. Oppose merging. One company buying another doesn't confer notability to the other, or remove notability from the bought company. All it requires is an addition somewhere in the article that describes the purchase of the company and links to the new owers. Macktheknifeau (talk) 08:42, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * No Those references are not significant per WP:NCORP - "of the expansions, acquisitions, mergers, sale, or closure of the business". SK2242 (talk) 12:29, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I disagree with that minor guideline and consider them to confer notability under GNG. Macktheknifeau (talk) 13:39, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * You may personally disagree, but NCORP is not "minor". It is the widely accepted standard for company articles that overrides GNG. SK2242 (talk) 13:54, 18 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep, do not merge. Any reasonable merge would almost certainly go WP:UNDUE.Djm-leighpark (talk) 13:00, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, no merge Coverage in multiple local and industry sources. Lilporchy (talk) 01:28, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment This AfD was initiated one week after the previous nomination had been closed as No Consensus. Both were initiated by the same editor. Per the renominating for deletion guide, it should not have been renominated for at least two months. Lilporchy (talk) 01:40, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * This comment is misleading; you are citing an essay while also conveniently leaving out that it was closed with no prejudice against renomination. SK2242 (talk) 01:41, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Given that this AfD appears headed for the same result as its predecessor, are you going to keep on nominating it until you get the result you want? There does come a time to WP:DROPTHESTICK. Lilporchy (talk) 04:25, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The AfD was closed with no prejudice against renomination, so I renominated it to get a consensus to keep or delete. Simple. SK2242 (talk) 13:39, 24 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep Passes WP:GNG. Additionally, as a public transit service company with a lengthy period of existence, the public (and therefore wikipedia and other encylopedias) have a vested interest in documenting the history of public transportation.
