Lockport Fire Department

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Nothing cited on the page. Nothing notable about the department. Fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:40, 26 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment: For the record (since I have nominated multiple fire department pages for deletion), I am NOT anti-fire department!! I work for a fire department as a photographer. My issue is with tiny, non-notable departments having poorly done pages that just say "There is a department here, they fight fires..." In this case, there is not enough information available about the department to even make a full page. -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:40, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Lockport is quite a significant place in the history of fire-fighting because it pioneered the use of pumped water and hydrants. See Lockport: Historic Jewel of the Erie Canal for more details.  Andrew D. (talk) 12:03, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per Andrew Davidson. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 00:17, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge into Lockport (city), New York. There's not enough material to warrant an article, and none of it from reputable sources. Once there's enough content to warrant a separate page from Lockport (city), it should be fine to keep. --Prosperosity (talk) 06:03, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - I can see a quite notable topic here, focussing a little more on the history of fire-fighting than just on the actual present-day department. But, currently the article is unsourcedm the only link goes to the City of Lockport's official site, not even to the fire department thereof. Kraxler (talk) 17:33, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
