 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. A clear consensus that the content does not merit its own page. I will fix the link in the Alvis Saracen page but it is up to the editors of that page whether it is important enough to retain. TerriersFan (talk) 15:13, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Tulsa, Oklahoma (Tulsa Police Department, SOT)

This one's complicated. It's linked from Alvis Saracen as an example of where that vehicle is in use as a police vehicle. The title of the article makes sense as the text of that link because it's a list of places it's used. However, the article title is inappropriate for the content of this article, as the title implies it's an article about a police agency, but the article is actually about a police vehicle. Furthermore, the contents of this article are not really notable; the other links on the Alvis Saracen use list point to the countries, not to any specific page describing the vehicles those countries use. As a result of all this, I think the article should just be removed as having non-notable content and a title that is unlikely to be useful for searching/browsing. Powers T 18:01, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, almost as useful as having an article on my own car as an example of the marque in use. --Dhartung | Talk 19:40, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into Saracen and/or Tulsa Police Department. Mildly interesting but not deserving of its own microarticle. Merenta (talk) 20:34, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete As per Dhartung's comments (what's next, an article on the Tulsa cops' use of Brand-X handcuffs?). Ecoleetage (talk) 22:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and send the creator a link to WP:1ST. I think I get what they were trying to do, but this isn't the way to do it at all. Beeblbrox (talk) 22:13, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Good grief, an article about one single vehicle in the Tulsa, Oklahoma police department? KleenupKrew (talk) 01:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. One wonders why it was not a speedy.  Vegaswikian (talk) 01:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Because no speedy deletion criterion applies. Powers T 14:51, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Saracens are notable. This exact one isn't.--Oakshade (talk) 18:40, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
