Eastern Rhode Island Conservation District

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

A small sub-district that is probably not notable. There does not seem to be articles for this type of agency for any other US state. The same applies to Southern Rhode Island Conservation District and Northern Rhode Island Conservation District. D O N D E groovily  Talk to me  05:02, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Could be improved, a few of these seem relevant:  riffic (talk) 05:43, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Neither of the links supplied above by Riffic are indicative of notability. I do not see any evidence of notability elsewhere, either. Concur with nominator's argument. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  08:16, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep if rewritten/sourced, or Merge with the other two Rhode Island Conservation Districts as proposed at the three articles. These articles could use a major rewrite - as it is they don't even assert notability. But as Riffic noted this district gets a lot of coverage, not all of it trivial or passing - for example . --MelanieN (talk) 00:57, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * But this is about a federal government department, and no other state has such articles. This only is against notability. The notability is NRCS. D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  01:29, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * That's a new argument: WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESN'TEXIST! 0;-D I don't know what NRCS means. --MelanieN (talk) 02:25, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * NRCS is the National Resource Conservation Service, a division of the US federal gov't. East Rhode Island Conservation District is a sub-division of NRCS. Thus it's NRCS that is notable, not this little sub-division. D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  02:59, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. So I suppose this article could be redirected there, somewhat as is done for local chapters of a notable organization. But in terms of coverage by outside independent sources, I find very little for the Natural Resources Conservation Service - less than I found for this branch. In that sense it seems that this local branch may have more "notability" than the parent bureaucracy does. --MelanieN (talk) 14:02, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
