Valley Metro bus fleet

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:FANCRUFT and a lot of original research. Lists of bus fleets are best suited for wikia or dedicated fansites Ajf773 (talk) 04:45, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Strong keep - Useful information, several other articles on transit agencies have fleet pages. Please read WP:NOCRUFT.   ANDROS1337  TALK 23:33, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * First WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Bus fleet articles are generally rare, a search shows less than 10 active with many others have deleted over time. Secondly, as an editor who has made 277 to this article since creation, I believe you'd had ample opportunities to provide reliable sources to affirm the notability of the subject. Press releases (including twitter) from the transit agencies are hardly sufficient and only covers a very bit of content. As for this page being WP:CRUFT or WP:NOTCRUFT this is bus fancruft and we don't need to know the details of every single bus in a companies fleet. Ajf773 (talk) 01:43, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. This article completely lacks reliable, independent sources. If there are no such sources that talk about the bus fleet in this much detail, then Wikipedia should not include those details. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 22:27, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's not the kind of content we should be keeping or maintaining — it's not verifiable in reliable sources that are independent of the transit system's own self-published press releases about itself, the information isn't noteworthy or even really interesting to most people, and since a transit system's bus fleet will evolve over time as old buses are retired and new ones are purchased and deployed it's not even really maintainable. It's not a thing that reliable sources address at all. While it's true that there are a few other similar articles for other bus transit fleets, the principle of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS applies: it's not a reason why this should be kept, but a reason why the others should be deleted too.

 * Delete as per Bearcat, mainly because of the failure of WP:V, but other reasons too.--Rusf10 (talk) 18:58, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
