Fails WP:GNG - only notable for being used on Wiki Wiki Shuttle, which itself has questionable notability. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 01:34, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Optima Bus Corporation per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE as a premature WP:SPINOFF. Chance RT-52 is short but perhaps the important information is there. The proposed merge target is disappointingly short and needs the extra content and references that never should have been spun off in the first place. gidonb (talk) 13:51, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Preferably keep but second best is merge as per gidonb's rationale. Searched for material to add but found little of note. Suspect there's coverage offline perhaps for example, in City Transit Buses of the 20th Century - Photo Gallery by William A. Luke, Linda L. Metler (2005), The Illustrated Encyclopedia of American Trucks and Commercial Vehicles by Albert Mroz (1996), A Historical Survey of Transit Buses in the United States by Society of Automotive Engineers (1980) or in National Bus Trader periodical which says it has been serving the bus industry since 1977.

Only fair to strike through one of the sources I suggested. Located it on JSTOR and while the company is mentioned the particular model under discussion here is not. Rupples (talk) 02:45, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
