Bayport Fire Department

Non notable department that fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Most of the page is unsourced. Zackmann08 (talk) 05:02, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment:' The person recommending deletion has a history of going through and recommending pages for deletion that should not of been recommended ... so those reviewing this should keep that in mind and if it continues admin should consider sanctions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zlassiter (talk • contribs) 18:23, 16 June 2015 (UTC)


 * , I've never seen a spurious or disruptive AfD from . That one for Kalamazoo was kept after consensus with mention of possible discussion about merging. This is hardly a malicious AfD that would need an admin involvement. —Мандичка YO 😜 07:43, 24 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete: It reads like a mix between trainspotting and town pride. I would suggest a merge to Bayport, Long Island, but we're going to start cutting the cake pretty thin at a certain point. This is a volunteer department (not municipal). It has a band and boats. That's all very nice, but it doesn't get an automatic bye for municipal function (or automatic merge). The sources are locally published histories and the Yellow pages, which doesn't leave a lot of room for !voting otherwise. Hithladaeus (talk) 19:20, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Selective Merge to Bayport, New York § Emergency services. North America1000 22:06, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to Bayport, New York § Emergency services, per North America1000. This article was deleted before, and I believe it would have been better suited as a merge before then, which was why I requested a revival. I've swiped as much content as I can from this article to the one on the hamlet, and though I haven't done as much work as I should, I still haven't changed my mind about what should be done. -User:DanTD (talk) 16:48, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
 * For what it is worth, as the original nominator, I too support selective merging. The comment I will make is that we want to avoid WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Every community has a fire department. I'm not sure it would be beneficial to add a section on every community's page about the fire department IF all that section says is "there is a department, they fight fires...". Just food for thought! But yea, I too support a selective merge. :-) -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:07, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have no objection to your merge of Brentwood Fire Department to Brentwood, New York, but I still think you should've added the content from that article to the community. The same should be done with Sayville Fire Department, which should be added to Sayville, New York, rather than deleted. -User:DanTD (talk) 17:14, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
