Deletion of Bertie the Bus

Comment: Another cookie-cutter drive-by with no specifics about the topic.  The abuse here is the use of Twinkle to spam these cut/paste nominations without demonstrating any understanding or appreciation of the topic.   This is part of the family of characters created by the Rev. W. Awdry and so there are clear |alternatives to deletion.  Improvement seems quite feasible as there are sources to be found such as ''Banking on Bertie the Bus'', which details creation of a spinoff show about the character.   states that "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page." and so deletion is not appropriate

Comment: and admittedly allowing some special pleading. I just don't see the sources to support an article like this. The fiction is obviously very notable, and if you could even find a single source, it should be covered ''somewhere'', and probably somewhere ''else''. The List of Thomas & Friends characters is in a sorry state, as are the linked / sub-articles. I suggest a merge because there's a shred of primary sourced material (not independent enough to support notability) that could be  at a broader list. If there's a chance at making this better than a fandom wiki, it's to work on a better quality list
