Fails WP:NCORP. Everything I found in searches relates to a depot fire and subsequent administration and closure of the business which is trivial/routine per NCORP. There is a decent Buses article but multiple sources are needed. Found nothing in book searches either. SK2242 (talk) 03:19, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Nearly impossible to find additional sources during lockdown so there's no hurry here and the fact there's one mean's there's likely others.Djm-leighpark (talk) 21:51, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Then you can put this into your userspace and find sources when you can. We don’t assume sources exist when there is no proof of them existing. SK2242 (talk) 22:00, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Articles regarding a fire at a depot of the company are enough to confer notability, as they aren't simple routine corporate events. Macktheknifeau (talk) 16:04, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- No opinion on the notability of the company generally, but it can't be the case that reporting of a fire at a business confers notability on that business, no matter how lacking it was in notability absent the fire. BD2412 T 03:28, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, subject does not appear to meet WP:NCORP and the keep arguments made thus far are rather unpersuasive. No objection to this being userfied if someone wants to commit to looking for sources when COVID restrictions are relaxed. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 22:43, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - there has been no evidence presented thus far that this company passes WP:NCORP, which is the guideline that it absolutely must pass. The depot fire coverage does not satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH. Nothing found in Google searches and nothing found in a search of British newspaper archives, which includes many local West Yorkshire papers. By all means, someone can work on this in their user space but I see no reason for this article to sit in main space on the small off-chance that there might happen to be some significant coverage offline somewhere. If coverage is found later on, then restore it. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 12:08, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
LOL I cant believe this made it so long in the discussion. This is a defunct bus company known for nothing other than a fire? Seriously. Delete. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 14:08, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
