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

Previous AfD closed due to mass nominations making the process unwieldy. Local non-notable fire department. Rwiggum (Talk /Contrib ) 15:12, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ORG, Organizations whose activities are local in scope are usually not notable unless verifiable information from reliable independent sources can be found. There's no evidence this one has any notability outside its immediate area. Important note: there's a fire department in Girard, Kansas which does appear that it might be notable, be aware of false positives. TravellingCari  15:53, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ORG as well. It's interesting to note that almost every fire department that has put out any fire will be in local news, but I don't think that coverage alone should confer notability.  --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 17:06, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Ah, well just redirect it then to Girard, Ohio.Nrswanson (talk) 16:29, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Thank you for relisting this -- I tried to do that in the first AfD and it got hijacked. Beyond the people in Girard, Ohio, who have homes on fire, this department has no notability. Ecoleetage (talk) 00:25, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
