Love's Bus Service Western Australia/Queensland

[edit]

@Kerry Raymond:Yesterday 9/6/2020 I created a category for Kinetic Group companies which finished up with 12 entries so was worth doing [1]. But this article has left me with some questions. The name of the operation is used in both both Queensland (Cairns) where it is now part of the Kinetic Group hence I finished up including it in the new category, and in Western Australia (Albany and Bunbury) where ownership now is not clear. The fleet lists in references 4 [2] and 5 [3] no longer exist but I did find one in Bullsbrook [4] which is a Perth suburb a long way from Albany and Bunbury. On the other hand there are sill white pages references for Love's Bus Service in both these locations. [5] and [6] The website in the article infobox relates to the Qld operation only and nothing has been found for the WA operation. So where should we go with this article?Fleet Lists (talk) 06:35, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@JarrahTree:Above for the Queensland point of view - and as you created the talk page, you may have a Western Australian point of view?Fleet Lists (talk) 06:40, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I was under the impression that the long term presence in Albany was sufficient for an article - I have literally no knowledge of mechanics of the other parts of its operations in Queensland or places other than albany... I would be hesitant to offer opinion at this stage - I have not been able to locate materials that would normally be easily available at this stage... JarrahTree 08:12, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I too must confess great ignorance of bus companies. I think I may have added some mention of a bus company which was a pioneer in opening up the Atherton Tableland to tourists, possibly in a heritage article, but on checking those articles it was Whitecars and appears to be unrelated?

[edit]

is not a particularly clear method, however https://trove.nla.gov.au/search/advanced/category/newspapers?keyword.phrase=love%27s%20bus&l-title=175 the Western Australian version existed, and to change to Queensland is a nisnomner. JarrahTree 05:04, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The google generation, sigh... seemingly unaware of the existence of printed works. Ecctuite (talk) 07:30, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
a major problem with albany local history is most is in printed works, and very little has been put online - a clear issue for many localities around australia. JarrahTree 08:09, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per earlier comments JarrahTree 08:10, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support I investigated this issue earlier this year and at that stage felt that a rename to Love's Bus Service Queensland was not appropriate.Fleet Lists (talk) 08:22, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • on notability I think both can survive on the basis of the historical WA notability, because of the split in ownership it'd be remiss to continue with the two unrelated companies covered in one article in the future. Gnangarra 13:11, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
