Keep- it clearly needs some work doing on it, but that's not a reason for deletion - it's a reason to improve it. It should only be deleted if it is not realistically possible to cite reliable secondary sources, which I'm convinced it will be, because automotive designs of all kinds have plenty of publications dedicated to providing commentary on them, and are therefore routinely considered notable.
- For starters, almost all newly-available bus models would get an article in Ian Allan Buses magazine around the time of their launch, and probably in other magazines too, and all but the most obscure will be listed in the same publisher's Bus and Coach Recognition book series by Alan Millar. (Sadly I don't have either available at the moment, so can't provide said citations myself right now, but hopefully others can.)
- At a push it could perhaps be merged into Wright Endurance, which it is closely derived from, but there seems no clear reason to deviate from the established one-article-per-named-model convention we currently have.
- Indeed, a more extreme solution of merging the entire Wrightbus "Classic" range into one article could be a possibility, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary work when the rationale for doing so isn't clear-cut. Quackdave (talk) 19:41, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Change my keep to a merge to Wright Endurance. Since the discussion on the CityRanger went in favour of merging to Wright Endurance (which I have now done), for the sake of consistency the UrbanRanger should go there too. (I have already included a fair part of the information in that article, since regardless of what the outcome of this debate is, it felt absurd to include the CityRanger in the Endurance article without also making at least passing mention of the UrbanRanger.)

- Merge to Wright CityRanger to which it was apparently similar. Since only 16 were ever built, I do not think it can be regarded as separately notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:17, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Wrightbus, a page isn't necessary for each of their products. J04n(talk page) 10:01, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
- Relisting comment: Whereas it seems that there is consensus that the article is notable, there is no consensus yet what should be done with it. Let us discuss one more week.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:31, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Wright Endurance - If it was a bus chassis or such, then it would be a strong keep. As it is, it's a body for a bus chassis, and they only built 16 of them, so there's no way it can be presumed notable, and it fails any notability tests you can throw at it.
