Only decent coverage is 2 Eastbourne Herald articles - not enough to meet WP:GNG. SK2242 (talk) 22:07, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are enough sources to meet WP:GNG. Andrew🐉(talk) 23:32, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Andrew Davidson: Such as? The sourcing in the article is crap. The only decent looking BBC ref (archived here) is 5 sentences long. SK2242 (talk) 03:29, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:NEXIST. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:22, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:SIGCOV, of which there is barely any for this minor bus company. SK2242 (talk) 09:27, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To add to this, NEXIST only points out that lack of sources doesn’t mean no notability, not the case here. I strongly urge you to reconsider your !vote. SK2242 (talk) 09:30, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The idea that you can have a charity and community transport service which is not known and written about is absurd. Finding sources is just a matter of looking. See here for example – professional coverage of the bus industry which naturally competent and clear. My !vote stands. Andrew🐉(talk) 17:30, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide more detail as to the level of coverage in the source plus the editorial standards of the website? I still don’t see any significant coverage. SK2242 (talk) 19:28, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I find the source to be quite satisfactory and it demonstrates that the nomination is erroneous. My !vote stands. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:16, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My nomination is perfectly fine thank you very much. That still does not look like significant coverage and I have no idea how reliable it is. Nothing erroneous with this nomination. SK2242 (talk) 12:46, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As stated by the nom, the brief BBC coverage is the only reference currently in the article that can actually be used to try to establish notability - the remainder of the current sources are either press releases or the company's own website. I did some searches, both under its current and former names, and really did not come up with anything at all that can be considered WP:SIGCOV. I found a one-sentence mention in a travel guide, here. And there are a couple of articles in local news sources, such as this one, which is just a local report on a bus' wheels being stolen rather than any actual information or coverage on the company itself. Pretty much the only coverage I could find that talks more about the company in a greater extent than a couple of sentence is this blurb in another travel guide. WP:NEXIST is only a valid argument if there actually is significant coverage that can be found, and there just really does not seem to be on this small, local company. Maybe a mention & redirect to Berwick, East Sussex could be possible, but even that seems like it would be a bit undue coverage on what looks to be a fairly non-notable business.

Delete. Fails WP:NCORP, niche/local coverage only. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:25, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The article does not meet GNG or ORGCRIT/NCORP and BEFORE did not show SIGCOV from IS RS. Routine, mill, normal coverage does not meet WP:N. // Timothy :: talk 12:20, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
