Fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Nothing notable about this tiny department. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 06:48, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-notable fire department in tiny hamlet; fails GNG —Мандичка YO 😜 07:40, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep The topic passes the WP:GNG, being covered in detail in sources such as Wantagh Fire Department: 1900-2000, LIFE magazine and other cuttings such as these. The department is comparatively large, rather than being tiny, having multiple fire house houses and appliances.  Wantagh is just the historic origin of the service, which started over 100 years ago, but it now covers a region of about 13 square miles.  Per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE, the worst case is that we'd merge to some other page such as Nassau_County,_New_York or Wantagh,_New_York but there is no single obvious target. Andrew D.

 * "Wantagh is just the historic origin of the service, which started over 100 years ago, but it now covers a region of about 13 square miles." does not in itself advance notability. You've been told many a time since the colonel days that WP:PRESERVE does not advance of notability in an AfD. LibStar (talk) 11:44, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
