Deletion of Minor bus operators in England

Comment: WP:LSC specifically contemplates such lists: "Every entry in the list fails the notability criteria. These lists are created explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles: for example, List of minor characters in Dilbert or List of paracetamol brand names." This leaves the question whether a comprehensive list of minor bus lines is notable. While I generally don't employ  exists arguments, a list of actual minor bus lines in England seems to me to be at least as notable as a list of fictional minor characters in a work of art. The selection criteria are bounded and well-defined and self-published sources are considered  for information about themselves unless they are self-serving or there is some reason to doubt them
