Stagecoach Group local trading names

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Proposed deletion beacuse: "What is the notability of the local trading names of the Stagecaoch group?" No reliable independent sources have indepth information about this subject. Fram (talk) 12:44, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment This would work better as a sortable table. I get the concept-- Stagecoach Group operates city bus routes in various locations in the United Kingdom, so "Stagecoach in South Wales" handles the services of Aberdare Bus Co., Crosskeys Coach Hire, Islwyn Borough Transport, etc., "Stagecoach Bluebird" handles north Scotland, etc.-- in looking over the various lines, it appears that this long list is only a small section of what would be a gigantic list of towns, their bus services and the Stagecoach groups that administer those services.  Relevant, perhaps.  Can it be organized in a useful fashion?  Not unless it can be sorted. Mandsford (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep as a sortable table. Per Mandsford.--Epeefleche (talk) 17:57, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete for two reasons. Policy: Notability - As nominator states, there is no evidence of notability of this list. Reference given at the bottom of the article says that the data in the list has been obtained from the "News Sheets & Publications of the PSV CIRCLE." If this publication has ever had an article specifically "about the local trading names of Stagecoach" then an editor should be able to point to it. Otherwise, this list is not notable (look at a sample of the publication referenced for yourself).  Policy: WP is not a directory; this list is simply a directory of subdivisions of a transit company. Comments above suggest that making this list sortable somehow improves the dataset; being sortable is irrelevant to this policy. Suggestion: This information can just as easily be placed into a category or a template. It may already be duplicated by Template:StagecoachGroup and/or Category:Stagecoach Group. If placed and maintained in one of these locations, the policies referenced do not apply. - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 13:18, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable by itself (and I say that as a bus enthusiast who finds this sort of information intersting). All the local names should be mentioned in the articles which exist for each subsidiary of Stagecoach, and could even redirect there. I can't really see what this adds to that.
