This may be a bit irregular, but I'm posting this on behalf of User:Bumbl loid who was having problems getting AfD to work. His rationale for deletion is: "The logo of "Advanced Liner" was a made up from SriLankan Airlines with few edits made to the logo's color. Second, there are no news clippings, evidences, nor proof that Husky Tours was bought and sold over to Yanson Group of Bus Companies. Third, given the data by http://data.gov.ph/catalogue/dataset/provincial-bus-franchises-2015, Husky Tours still exist and their franchise wasn't sold to Yanson Group."

• Comment I've done a Google search for /"advanced liner" yanson/ and can't see anything reliable to link the two. There is at least one Wikipedia mirror in the ghits. I'm inclined towards delete, but it's not a 'blatant hoax' for speedy in my book. I did decline a speedy, but that was due to a misunderstanding of the criterion by the tagger. Bumbl loid appears to edit on the subject of buses in the Phillipines. We do get a fair number of hoaxes from there - mostly about non-existent films or TV programmes. Perhaps this is a new area for those hoaxers. Peridon (talk) 15:49, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I quite agree about the logo - changed colour and the angle. Same bird, though... Peridon (talk) 15:57, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I've done some more Googling and checking on WP, and I'm coming off the fence. I reckon this is a hoax. Husky still appears to be under Biocrest. The addition of Advanced Liner to the Yanson article here (by the creator of the article in question and an IP) has been reverted by two editors, or bothered to amend the Husky article either. I notice too that the nominator for deletion (by proxy...) of this article is the creator and the main author of the article on Yanson. The reference to a gov.ph site is to a list dated March 2015 (and which is very hard to get into...), but the takeover is given as 2017 in the article. Other references are to pictures of the Husky fleet, the currently inaccessible Vallacar (Yanson) site, and a news item from 2012 about road closures due to rebel activity. Nothing to support the existence of Advanced Liner. Peridon (talk) 18:35, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I'm getting similar findings like that of the nom. Also the gov't data cited in the article doesn't prove the bus line's existence --Lenticel ^(talk) 00:26, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a later list than the 2015 one cited, which can't mention an entity allegedly founded this year? I can't find one for 2016 or 2017. Peridon (talk) 13:02, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find them within the data.gov.ph site itself. Perhaps the Phil. gov't is still consolidating those lists. --Lenticel ^(talk) 00:26, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
