Ashburn Volunteer Fire-Rescue Department

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A small volunteer fire department. While undoubtedly a noble organization, it does not meet the notability requirements (significant coverage with sources addressing subject directly in detail, etc.) Neutralitytalk 05:21, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete or redirect to Ashburn, Virginia (where it's covered already) if anyone feels like it. General precedent is to cover police and fire departments in the articles of the communities they serve, and the article gives no indication that this should be an exception.

 * Delete or redirect to Ashburn, Virginia. No secondary sources establishing sufficient notability for its own article, with all due respect to the volunteers. Passing mention in one source on Google News, and Google search revealed no sites establishing notability beyond the local scale in the first 200 hits.

 * Merge relevant data, such as data that doesn't require sourcing, to Ashburn, Virginia. I already merged the gallery from Ashburn Volunteer Fire-Rescue Department to Ashburn, Virginia. Northamerica1000 (talk) 18:26, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
