City guard

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

All content duplicated at Municipal police, which is the more common name. ninety:one 22:11, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. The stubbish article doesn't really show it clearly, but it is intended to describe a different phenomenon, in particular, medieval city guard/militia that is different from modern municipal police. PS. I've tried to clarify and expand the article, but there are very few sources on the historical law enforcement. That said, I'd suggest a merge - but NOT with municipal police, but with Watchman (law enforcement); based on our naming conventions, I'd suggest merging watchman article (named after a person) into city guard (named after a formation). PSS. The proper procedure for asking for a merge is to use the merge templates and talk pages, not AfDs...why start with the big guns? :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 00:01, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect While the historical context is interesting and deserves expansion, it seems silly to split this information up between articles. Nanowolf (talk) 08:08, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep.Different from militia, notable as subject of encyclopedic entry.--Molobo (talk) 15:13, 17 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment As nom, I'd be happy to withdraw and merge to Watchman (law enforcement)... or is there some endless bureaucratic process we have to go through first? ninety:one 21:05, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Not as far as I know. Sounds good to me - let's be bold. But I'd merge watchman to city guard (seems like a better name). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 11:52, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
