Fails WP:GNG. I can only find references to the website of the company and to a self-published photobook (. Night of the Big Wind  talk  16:36, 19 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: "I can only find references to the website of the company and to a self-published photobook." Did you actually look? I found these in five minutes:

 * I have been searching on "Brighton & Hove bus names". Off course, naming the buses is a nice project, but sourced only by the local newspaper, related websites and a self-published book is really not convincing (but opinions can differ from mine) Night of the Big Wind  talk  00:33, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I was just pointing out that there was more than just the company website and that book that you found. The local newspaper has been reporting them pretty frequently, over a ten+ year period. Of course, it's not likely to get much wider coverage outside of Brighton, but then again, neither are any of the other Brighton-related transport articles I suppose.

 * Comment. Can someone advise we if Wikisource would take this information? That would seem like a good home for this information (linked, of course, from the article on Brighton and Hove buses on Wikipedia). Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 09:08, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment The New Encyclopaedia of Brighton and Hove (Rose Collis; 2010; ISBN 978-0-9564664-0-2) has a brief mention. More extensive is the coverage in Pride and Joy: My Amazing 25-year Journey with Brighton & Hove Buses (Roger French; 2010; ISBN 978-0-9565740-0-8), which is essentially the official history book of the company.  A book, whose name escapes me at the moment, that was solely about the names and the history of the "scheme" was published in 2004.   Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  21:49, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Addition to my comment: the book whose name escaped me is the one referred to above by the nominator .  Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  21:56, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. The section in the article on the company is adequate - a few examples there would be ok, but this article is unencyclopedic.--Michig (talk) 16:59, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. A valid stand alone list that would be too long to include in the parent article.  The peculiar bus naming convention is notable -   .-- Kubigula (talk) 04:37, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is overly trivial, indiscriminate information. Such coverage as this practice has received appears to be strictly local.  Sandstein   06:25, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Certainly trivial but unless I am missing something also mostly unsourced. Many names are red links which are not normally included in lists anyway. It seems to contain a lot of original research. Bus naming can be covered adequately in the company article.--Charles (talk) 17:15, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Unsourced yes, but OR?! Definitely not: http://history.buses.co.uk/history/fleethist/busnamesintro.htm  Arriva436 / talk / contribs   19:09, 7 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep per Kubigula.  Rcsprinter  (gas)  15:31, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Coverage is a local newspaper is good enough? Don't think so. Night of the Big Wind  talk  17:37, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks like continuing coverage in the Argus, plus at least one article in the The Guardian, which is not local. It is somewhat trivial, but it looks to be notably trivial, at least in my opinion.-- Kubigula (talk) 03:25, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
