• Delete per nom. The vechile does not seem to have any notable coverage in a WP:BEFORE search. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 21:34, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

• Keep/merge per WP:ATD. Was used in HK and so covered in sources like [https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Hong_Kong_Buses/pD3KDwAAQBAJ?hl=en Hong Kong Buses]. Andrew🐉(talk) 17:39, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

:: The book you have cited only mentions the subject twice, not significant coverage. And even if it was, there would still need to be 2 other reliable sources providing significant coverage as well to pass GNG. SK2242 (talk) 18:36, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

• Merge the ALX articles into Alexander ALX series These buses were all developed in the same timeframe, with just sizing differences so a merge seems to be an acceptable choice. Though, noting that WP:THREE isn't a hard and fast rule, for public infrastructure articles one or two sources are usually enough for GNG. Jumpytoo Talk 22:48, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

:*Procedural Keep As what Davey noted a full merge discussion should be done on a talk page, so converting to procedural keep so this can be done. Jumpytoo Talk 21:02, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

• Keep and start a discussion on a talkpage inregards to all models - In reality all ALX models are in the same boat unfortunately, Given there's next to no sources online for any of them it would be hard knowing if there are any offline too athough to be honest I would assume sources offline would be slim. Keep on the basis that a Merge discussion should happen on talkpage. –Davey2010^Talk 11:59, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
• Keep/merge per the alternatives to deletion offered above. SC96 (talk) 04:02, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

::Changed my vote to "keep" only.SC96 (talk) 01:42, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

:{{u|Sandstein}} Is there really any need to relist it ?, Consensus is pretty obvious here?, Cheers. –Davey2010^Talk 20:26, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

:* {{u|Davey2010}}, not in my view, because many two people wrote "keep/merge", which are two outcomes that not compatible with one another. I hope that further discussion can resolve consensus to either keep or merge this article. Sandstein 20:37, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

:::{{u|Sandstein}} Fair point, My reading of it was that people wanted it kept but a discussion should be sought on the talkpage but we all read things differently, No worries thank you for explaining it the relist anyway, Thanks. –Davey2010^Talk 21:05, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

:::"Keep" and "merge" are totally compatible with each other. Neither is a cause for an administrator to hit the "delete" button, so neither needs any further discussion at AfD. It is "delete" and "merge" which are incompatible with each other. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:00, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

:::: Comment {{u |Sandstein}} is always procrastinating even the consensus is pretty keep. I'm very disappointed in him. VocalIndia (talk) 04:43, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

• Keep, article was nominated as uncited, has since been addressed. Reliable sources evidently exist, just not online. Agree with statement above, Keep/merge is sitting on the fence, editors need to jump one way or the other and if the latter with a suggested target. Lilporchy (talk) 00:42, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
• Comment a Merge discussion is being started on all ALX articles when the Afds end. SK2242 (talk) 12:39, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
• Keep without prejudice to merge per above. Sources have been found, addressing the nominators concerns. Thryduulf (talk) 03:20, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
