Escambia County Board of County Commissioners (Florida)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article about a county commission, not reliably sourced as passing WP:ORGDEPTH. While there's nothing wrong with articles about county governments if they're properly sourced, they're not considered "inherently" notable topics in the absence of proper sourcing. There are 3,243 counties in the United States, but actually contains articles about just 10 others besides this -- and while I'll grant that there might be some others whose articles just haven't been categorized here yet, there certainly aren't 3,200+ of them. But this is referenced entirely to the board's own self-published primary source content about itself on its own website, with no indication provided of any real reliable source coverage about it in any sources independent of itself. Essentially this seems to exist entirely to get a list of the board commissioners into Wikipedia, about whom the page creator has also tried to write (all now deleted) standalone biographies without actually attempting to source any of them beyond the commission's self-published content either.

 * Redirect to Escambia County, Florida per nom (which I realize is a recommendation for delete rather than redirect). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:55, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Escambia County, Florida as a reasonable alternative to deletion; redirects are cheap. The subject is likely non-notable (there's no sigcov of the board itself, as opposed to its actions), and in any event there's no valid reason to divorce this topic from the main county article.
