Heidelberg Police Department

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable former regional police structure. GermanJoe (talk) 15:30, 30 August 2016 (UTC)


 * More details This "Polizeidirektion" got merged into a neighboring department in 2013/2014 (the distribution of police departments and responsibilities has been completely changed with a huge reform in 2013). Almost the entire article (from 2007/2008) is now wrong/outdated. While Heidelberg is sometimes mentioned in outdated listings or in passing mentions as acting office (in crime reports and similar articles), a search for German-language sources in Google revealed no in-depth coverage about the department itself. Several links in the English-language search are false positives ("Lower ..." is a different office, and there is another town called "Heidelberg" in the United States).

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Not a separate police force, but a division of a police force. We don't usually have articles on these. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:13, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 01:01, 7 September 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to Baden-Württemberg Police; the agency no longer exists and is not independently notable. Also, WP:NOTADIRECTORY. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:47, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge. The growing consensus is to delete, redirect, or merge articles on smaller police departments into their regional or county government articles. Bearian (talk) 23:57, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Note: I did close this discussion yesterday as "redirect", but for some reason I did not notice that a little before the closure it had been relisted - probably I did read and close too many AfDs that day and mixed up relisting dates. I've reopened this as it had low input and probably merits to have the discussion run for the additional relisting period to see if more input happens.
