The article Crosby Volunteer Fire Department has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

 * Besides rewriting it (so that it isn't in first person ("We are proud", etc), you would need to provide reliable independent sources (see WP:V) showing that this organization is notable per WP:ORG. NawlinWiki (talk) 04:29, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Government department or no, it still needs to be notable -- otherwise, we'd have separate articles on every department of every town and city in the world. See Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.  If you can't supply sources showing notability per WP:ORG, perhaps you could add a line or two to Crosby, Texas instead.
