Whilst this might be WP:INTERESTING, it's a list that exists without encyclopaedic purpose. Its appeal is limited to only a very small section of readership. Without there being any sources to demonstrate just how and why this naming concept as applied to this company's buses, this fails WP:GNG. --  Ohc  ¡digame!¿que pasa? 08:41, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. It's borderline, but there has been a book written on the subject, and it has received coverage in the national press.  --Rob Sinden (talk) 11:51, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. The concept of the list has been written about in books and is worthy of mention in Brighton & Hove (bus company), but the entire list of specific entries in it is a indiscriminate collection of information, which is unsuitable for Wikipedia.

 * Delete. The bus naming has an entire section to itself in the parent article. That's more than enough. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:28, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, Non notable & unencyclopedic list, Considering we have a Brighton & Hove (bus company), I fail to see the point of this article. →Davey 2010→  →Talk to me!→  02:49, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete -- At first sight one would think that there were articles on each of several hundered buses. However, the links are clearly not to articles on the buses, but on the people they are named after.  Should the article on Virginia Woolf have a comment at the end that B&H Bus Co named a bus after her?  When I first used to edit WP, many articles had a "popular culture" section at the end, full of trivial literary and other references, as non-encyclopaedic trivia.  Those were deleted en-masse a long time back.  This whole article is of a piece with such trivia; perhaps even worse.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:34, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
