Lake County Sheriff's Association

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable association. I'm sure they do great work and all, but there are thousands of these local sheriff's associations in the US alone, each local in scope. Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124; WER  15:08, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

 Delete no reliable independent sources with significant coverage, nothing to say. --Bejnar (talk) 20:28, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: What about merging as a new section of the article Lake County, Illinois + redirect? It may be a constructive solution. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 07:59, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Normally, I'm all for merges but the problem is that there are no sources and nothing worth mentioning. They have 314 members and are a typical sheriff's association, ie: you have to be an employee of select departments of the county to be a members.  It isn't a public support group and they don't claim to have actually ever done anything other than exist.  There really isn't anything to merge.

 * I admit that when I did proper online research I found nothing substantial (WP:RS) about the organization. You are apparently better informed in this area so I'll trust your opinion. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 10:11, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment & Keep-- Wouldn't it be better to do as suggested above and merge this into the abovementioned article? I agree the organization may or may not be the most notable, but none the less it is a viable part of that area, city or county. The fact that it is a professional association affiliated with the police would in my opinion make it somewhat notable. Maybe not grand, but notable. I understand also the claim that they have never done anything, but a look at their calendar does show that they are involved inside of their community and meeting their mission statement as demonstrated here>, , and here> . Seems that would be worth at least merging into the article although I agree its not notable enough to garner it's own page.Canyouhearmenow 13:03, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm a member of the association of winegrowers and winemakers in the village where I live and I can imagine that a mention in the article about the village would be enriching even though there are no independent sources about our organization ... it's hard to say. Lakecosa looks like a bigger association, undoubtedly :) --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 13:53, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment--Again, I also think there is not enough notability to justify this subject having it's own page, but I certainly see where this subject should be merged into the abovementioned article. I believe that its importance is to bring yet more notability to said article because it is a program within its jurisdiction.Canyouhearmenow 20:58, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
