The result was redirect to NSL (company). I'm a big fan of WP:Alternatives to deletion whenever possible, so I'm doing just that. Missvain (talk) 23:19, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

See rationale at Articles for deletion/NSL Buses which was closed as no consensus with no prejudice against speedy renomination. Fails WP:NCORP. SK2242 (talk) 16:34, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep, appears to be multiple sources cited including a new, independent, source added since the previous deletion nomination. NemesisAT (talk) 16:50, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
 * per NCORP, the sale of a business is trivial coverage and can’t establish notability. I have established why the other sources are also trivial and/or non-independent in the previous AfD. SK2242 (talk) 17:49, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
 * There are 7 sources cited in the article. Of those 7, 3 are secondary. Of those 3, 2 are about the company. Of those 2, both are routine trivial coverage that NCORP explicitly says do not establish notability. SK2242 (talk) 17:51, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete or Merge to NSL (company). Of the three independent sources, one (http://web.archive.org/web/20140724214023/http://www.worthingherald.co.uk/news/local/worthing-s-parking-firm-ncp-services-changes-name-to-nsl-1-244578) is used as a source for the name but is only about the parent company and doesn't contain "bus" anywhere.The other two are not significant coverage. Also the company is probably "NSL" or "NSL Services Group"; it seems to have been known as "NSL Services" but I can't verify the existence of "NSL Buses" as a separate entity. The information about the bus services can still be merged. Peter James (talk) 09:43, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, still no compelling argument made as to why article should be deleted, so for same reason as given in AFD #1, a keep. Worthing Herald cite has now been supplemented by cites that do mention the bus operation specifically. Lilporchy (talk) 05:46, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Sources don't verify that it was ever a separate entity, only that NCP/NSL operated buses. Peter James (talk) 16:31, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Missvain (talk) 22:58, 12 May 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Leaning towards redirect to NSL (company) as an WP:ATD. What do others think?
 * Delete Its a lease holder and its a pretty small bus company. Fails WP:NCORP.

 * Delete. No evidence of notability, passing mention here and there. At best redirect to somewhere (parent company?) where this is mentioned. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:38, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge per the others above. No compelling reason to delete. Dr. Universe (talk) 17:19, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
