2013 depot fire list and other recent deletions[edit]

While a list of the buses destroyed in the depot fire may be of interest to some, it is Wikipedia:Fancruft and thus should not be included. The article gives an overview of the buses destroyed.Mo7838 (talk) 19:31, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What an interseting word! According to that guidance it is often considered perjorative (I can see that), and is generlaly applied to whole articles. I don't think that any of the recently deleted information fails the WP:NOT criteria.
  • 1) The details of the destroyed buses are crucial to interpreting the fleet list further down the acticle as that predates the fire. Once a new, citable, list is available that may change. Informed readers may also notice the problem in the large number of full-size vehicles that have been replaced by hired-in small buses.
  • 2) For the owner to be voted to a significant, honorary position in the bus community helps put his acheivements in perspective.
  • 3) There is no 'correct' place for the Companies House registration citation, but WP:LEADCITE suggests it should support the body of the article in preference to the lead section. Geof Sheppard (talk) 12:56, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It is an interesting word.
  • 1) Agree Can see your logic, and perhaps pending a new fleetlist being published, is valid
  • 2) no Disagree, the article is about the company, the outside activities / achievements of its owners or employees is not relevant
  • 3) Partially Agree , is no hard and fast rule, protocol in other bus articles and rail (eg Arriva Trains Wales, Virgin Trains) is for it to go in the lead.Mo7838 (talk) 09:28, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
