Coverage on this company is limited to WP:ROUTINE local news articles on route changes and occasionally anti social behaviour. Fails WP:NCORP. SK2242 (talk) 19:46, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep as per the very first AFD - Certainly one of the top 5 bus operators in Kent. Although the sources I've added aren't brilliant IMHO notabilty is there and certainly meets WP:BASIC. –Davey2010Talk 01:16, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While "top 5 bus operators in Kent" isn’t nothing I don’t believe its major enough of an achievement for the company to bypass the requirement for significant in depth sources. There was also the 2nd AfD that was incorrectly closed as no consensus when no editors !voted Keep. SK2242 (talk) 03:20, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately publishers have a tendency to delete their articles (case proven with KOL) and I've witnessed this with the Irish Mirror too so it does happen so just because there's nothing online now doesn't mean there wasn't something a few years ago. Anyway I've found this and [1] which I would say ever so slightly push the article towards being notable. I still maintain the company is notable but it's hard to prove that point when like I say news companies delete their news articles. –Davey2010Talk 21:32, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
True. But in this case the first source is only a brief mention, the second source is more than that but coverage is mainly of a bus fire which would fall under WP:ROUTINE. SK2242 (talk) 00:25, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It is however IMHO a mention is better than nothing at all, Press reader has tons of coverage on the company] however they're all local. I did find a brief mention on the Telegraph however the contents of that were pasted from WikiTravel/Wikivoyage.
Still, by a bare minimum I believe there's some notability there although by a very bare minimum. Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 20:52, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete edit to include draftify option or Draftify We're fairly strict on article about companies/organizations and the criteria for establishing notability is strict and goes way beyond BASIC. I am unable to locate any deep or significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, references to date fail the criteria for establishing notability, topic therefore fails WP:NCORP. draftify As per WP:ATD, Davey2010 wants to search for sources and otherwise improve the article if possible. No probs for it to be moved to Drafts. HighKing++ 11:39, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
