As was the case with a previous AfD six months ago, there's no evidence that this police department is notable. The article was re-directed but has been recently re-created. It's not a G4 since it wasn't deleted last time, but there's still no evidence whatsoever that this PD is notable. Exists, yes. Notable, no. StarM  21:52, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete -- convert to redirect. The previous AfD concluded with a decision to delete this article, replacing the article with a redirect. This is a recreation of an article deleted as a result of an AfD, so it qualifies for speedy deletion. --Orlady (talk) 00:17, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect again to Oak Bay, British Columbia. Nothing has been addressed/improved since the previous AFD. I would also consider protection on the redirect to prevent any further redirect-warring. MuZemike  ( talk ) 01:33, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * As the author of this 're-created' page, I felt it's a little unjustified to say this article was same as before - I've tried to include all sourceable material but unable to expand as OBPD website is currently under construction. On the question of notability - OBPD was one of the PD who was in the spot light for potential amalgamation of 5 Vancouver Island PDs on 2 separate occassion in recent memory in 2003 (http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/police_services/publications/integration/FinalReport.pdf) and 2007 (http://www.llbc.leg.bc.ca/public/PubDocs/bcdocs/438941/200801CI_police.pdf). Gatineau Police or Service de police de Longueuil articles contains virtually no information but was kept because they have a large population - that makes no sense to me?--Cahk (talk) 05:21, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect (with a heavy heart). Fails WP:ORG as not enough coverage from sources outside the local area, would not suffer from merging with Oak Bay, British Columbia. ninety:one 10:53, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
