Very unlikely to expand due to lack of sources/references on web. Possibly redirect/merge with Optare StarRider? Tom the Tomato (talk) 08:21, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge losslessly to Optare StarRider: There's a good reliable reference for the ColumboRider already in the article, but it needs one more to be notable. By contrast, there are a few refs available for the StarRider (of varying reliability). Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 12:05, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As a unique model of production motor vehicle, notability is established per long-standing consensus. The fact there is only one reference currently in the article is irrelevant; the sources need only exist, and need not be online. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 19:47, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep Agree with thoughts set-forth by The Bushranger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deedbunk (talk • contribs) 05:32, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - It's not a unique model at all, as it's based on a chassis used by several other buses (as is the way buses are built) - it's just a body. This means that, if it can be reliably sourced, a mention in Mercedes-Benz T2#Second generation (1986–1996) may be appropriate, but a standalone article is not, unless it passes GNG.

Redirect to Optare#Buses, we don't need a separate page for every model particularly if sources can't be located. J04n(talk page) 00:35, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
