 * Keep I'm not sure what "insufficient info" means, but the simple fact that an article is a bit short is not enough to justify its deletion. As the police force of a state with a population of 52 million people, it's also inherently notable. (On a side note, the nom appears to have now AfDed three articles (Articles for deletion/Bijapur Airport & Articles for deletion/Hampi Airport) on the basis that they are too short.) ninety:one  19:08, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep – Rewrite yes, delete no…1,360 Google News hits as shown here 36 Google Scholar hits as shown here .  407 references to the department at Google Books as provided here .  I believe they meet our requirements for inclusion.  Thanks ShoesssS Talk 19:29, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - The main police force in a state with a population of over 52 million up for deletion? I guess the California Highway Patrol is next on the chopping block. --Oakshade (talk) 19:52, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep as above. This nomination is just waste of time of other editors Shyamsunder (talk) 20:09, 12 October 2010 (UTC).
 * Keep per WP:SNOW and WP:OUTCOMES. Large police departments are usually kept.  This one is for a state of almost 53 Million residents, the former Imperial State of Mysore. Bearian (talk) 20:46, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per all above. Salih  ( talk ) 13:40, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: I just hit the nom's talk page to suggest he review WP:BEFORE and WP:DEL before attempting any more AfDs.  Ravenswing  20:39, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
