List of New South Wales Rural Fire Service brigades

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I'm not sure about this list, it's messy and appears unencyclopedic. Per WP:NOTDIRECTORY I think it should not stay here. I'll be glad if anyone could improve it.  Jim Car ter  11:44, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete as this has existed since March 2007 and I'm simply not seeing anything better and even User:NE2 said this would need improving or otherwise deletion in January 2008. SwisterTwister   talk  05:57, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

 * delete per WP:NOTDIR. LibStar (talk) 15:19, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - perfectly legitimate WP:STANDALONE list. It is beneficial to the encyclopaedia to include a list of rural fire brigades and the equipment they have on hand, even if most individual brigades are not notable of themselves. Neither indiscriminate nor trivial. --Yeti Hunter (talk) 00:24, 12 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep - This article doesn't need deletion, it needs severe improvement. I suggest improving the lead and removing the alphabetical section. Catmando999   Check out his talk page!  21:21, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. WP:NOTDIRECTORY per nom, and I can't see Yeti Hunter's or Catmando999's reasons as further strengthening WP:GNG for this list.
 * It is a legitimate content fork from New South Wales Rural Fire Service - a list of extant brigades and their location is useful information for numerous situations, but it would be overkill to include it on the main article page. It is not indiscriminate; the number of brigades is finite and relatively small. WP:NOTDIR does not apply; the appropriate guideline is WP:STANDALONE, which states that "usefulness" is a reasonable criterion for list creation. It is certainly conceivable that a user might need to determine the location of fire brigades in the region for a number of reasons. --Yeti Hunter (talk) 05:47, 17 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep and update to current style. It's a bounded and countable structured list, although the alphabetic section appears to duplicate the hierarchy, without the structure, so isn't needed in the article. That's a content issue, not existence. --Scott Davis Talk 12:08, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I have removed the alphabetic listing and the excessive bolding style to make the article look a bit more normal. --Scott Davis Talk 10:44, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
