I don't doubt for a second that this is a real phenomenon, but I fail to find any coverage of it in reliable sources. There are a few personal homepages/blogs/YouTube videos about individual skoolies, but the concept as such is not covered anywhere, that I can find. The article has been tagged as unsourced for three years, and most of it is personal reflection/probable original research. bonadea contributions talk 19:00, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. No significant coverage from reliable sources. Ajf773 (talk) 21:03, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge, probably to a section in List of recreational vehicles, per discussion below. [My vote was "Keep"]. This is a thing, related to RVs and to tiny house movement. Tag for development. "Skoolies" might or might not be the common name for it, so an article move/retitle would be possible, perhaps to Bus conversion or School bus conversion, but renaming is not for AFD. Here is one news article, from "9news".

This should be developed to include a list of notable "skoolies", perhaps you too have seen a Youtube video and more coverage about some of the epic conversions and then grand tours about these, I saw one about a couple from Germany who went from Alaska to Mexico. --Doncram (talk) 21:15, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Changed from Keep to Merge to List of recreational vehicles, but a new section is needed there, can be called "School buses" or "Skoolies". Merge not redirect because material needs to be added to there, there is no coverage of this topic there yet. --Doncram (talk) 02:23, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to List of recreational vehicles#Bus conversion - School (and normal) bus conversions in the UK has been a thing for years, The term seems to be primarily used in the US although there's a few sources of it being used here, Anyway redirect. –Davey2010^Talk 15:58, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for providing link to that list-article, but its "Bus conversion" section seems not the right target. That is about high-end buses within its "Class A motorhome" section, i.e. for professional rock stars and so on. I don't mind merger to that list-article, but it needs a new section lower down in the article, to be called "School bus conversions" or "Skoolies", and this is a merger then not merely a redirect. --Doncram (talk) 02:23, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops sorry I'd missed that, I assumed the article was about bus conversions but as you note that section is about motorhomes so redirecting would be silly, Merge as per Docram. –Davey2010^Talk 17:48, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
