This subject does not seem to meet WP:N or WP:CORP. Charles (talk) 17:28, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom - I was actually gonna nominate this months ago but completely forgot so thank god someone did!, Anyway can't find any evidence of notability so will have to say Delete. – Davey 2010 Talk 17:44, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per 's additions, I'm not overly convinced on keeping but meh sources have miraculously been found and added. – Davey 2010 Talk 14:38, 8 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Revert to original edits Article had sources with verifiable facts prior to deletion of 90% of content, including references to local press reports over initiatives that the bus company had implemented. I'm sure there are a number of other bus operators on WP that have less references than this article had prior to the mindless vandalism that had occurred.

 * Hello, Timetables aren't reliable sources, When you created this article the first source you added was a link to someones bus images .... so this looks to have been doomed from the start, As a keep !voter If you want this kept you need to provide sources (other than timetables), Thanks – Davey 2010 Talk 00:23, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi . I did also at one stage add local press sources to the article which got stripped out. I have since found further press articles from two West Midlands news papers concerning this company, one about a charity initiative that they did and one regarding an inquest of an accident which a death was involved. I was unable to add that to the article as I have been unable to access wiki due to personal reasons. User:Dudleybus User talk:Dudleybus 00:41, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry I shouldn't assumed bad faith there with my comment so have struck anyway there doesn't seem to be much info on the company but If you're able to find a reasonable amount I'd consider my !vote, I had found these but other than that I'd found naff all, Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 01:25, 2 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep secondary cites added, if an operator is noteworthy enough to be the subject of a feature article in a trade magazine, then noteworthy enough for a Wiki article. Castroex (talk) 06:09, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * If you can find any secondary sources please enlighten us. Without them there is no point saying "Keep". Charles (talk) 10:21, 3 April 2015 (UTC) ✅ Castroex (talk) 11:40, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Mention in a specialist trade magazine is equivalent to a village sports team getting mention in the local paper. It does not show the wider coverage needed to meet WP:N or WP:CORPDEPTH.Charles (talk) 09:17, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Don't mean to moan but "Keepers" are expected to provide sources otherwise the !vote counts for nothing here. – Davey 2010 Talk 12:50, 3 April 2015 (UTC) (Struck as article now has cites – Davey 2010 Talk 12:49, 5 April 2015 (UTC))
