Marine City Police Department (Michigan)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability is questionable, article is poorly cited, and a large portion of the article is about the department's police chief. Writing Enthusiast ☎ 20:03, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Article was created to establish information about the Marine City Police Department, which has been referenced in other Wikipedia articles and frequently in local news. Police Chief biographical notes are considered material to the article as the Police Chief has significant influence over the activities and priorities of the police department. If citations are considered poor, respectfully request suggestions to improve citations before deleting entire article en masse. Since this article was created less than four hours ago, it seems fair and reasonable that some period of time be allotted for a simple article to be created in accordance with relevant guidelines before it is promptly deleted, unless the purpose is to discourage and deflate newbies from creating new content, which seems antithetical to the entire purpose of Wikipedia.

 * Delete. It's got 3.8 full-time officers, for pity's sake. Unless they're all clones of Columbo, they're not getting significant notice (not that Columbo got any either, which was kinda odd). "Local news" doesn't count. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:35, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Merge the first line only (not all the stuff about the chief, who isn't notable in any way) to Marine City, Michigan and Redirect. Too small for its own article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:40, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
