Edwards Coaches[edit]

Repost from speedy. Newer version contains notability claim - "one of the largest privately owned coach companies in Wales." Seems a very weak notability claim. Happy to speedy keep if any reliable sources attest to genuine notability of what I'm sure is an excellent, honest, hardworking company that just doesn't seem very notable.

This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:37, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak Delete~~Keep although I can find lots of stuff that verifies they exist I'm not currently finding anything that shows them as notable according to our policies and guidelines (I'm thinking specifically WP:CORP and WP:V). with the recent changes to the article I think notability is established and verified.

Weak Keep. There doesn't seem to be much about them online - surprising for a sizeable company that's been run by the same family for 83 years. But the company seems as notable as other Welsh bus/coach operators which have articles.Mhockey (talk) 14:40, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. "making it one of the largest privately owned coach companies in Wales." seems to be more promotional than notable. WP is not free advertising for non-notable companies. User529 (talk) 22:54, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I added some newspaper articles as references, and I think notability is now demonstrated. --Eastmain (talk) 03:38, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep per recent changes. I don't think industry awards automatically make a firm notable to those outside of the industry, but given that their other competitors have articles (as well as every pokemon & fetish under the sun) i guess the bar is pretty low. Plus they apparently also transport local school children, so i guess that is worth something to the average joe. User529 (talk) 04:53, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Passes WP:RS, as per Eastmain's input (great job, again!). Ecoleetage (talk) 12:51, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
