Lexington Police Department

I think this fails WP:GNG. I am not getting any hits on Google for this police department from any independent sources. Furthermore, I don't even believe it is the most notable police department with this name, as most Google hits are for the police department of Lexington, KY.

 * Redirect: to Lexington, Massachusetts. Certainly fails the GNG beyond routine and casual coverage, and the article's entirely sourced through primary sources and (cough) YouTube.  I don't think a merge is appropriate; the amount of information already in the main article for the police department contains all that's relevant per WP:UNDUE.

 * Honestly, yeah. I'd just move some of the unmentioned information from this page to the section on Lexington and make the page a redirect. TRC 03:25, 5 March 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Wikipedant (talk • contribs)
 * I am not sure a redirect to Lexington, Massachusetts is actually the way to go, even. There are multiple cities with the name Lexington. In my opinion, the police department of Lexington, KY is at least as likely to be a user's intended target as Lexington, MA. I think a redirect to Lexington would be more appropriate.

 * That's a very good point. I think a straight Delete, then, would do.   Ravenswing      19:07, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
