 * Merge into Southport, New York. It's sad that this was kept only because its copyvio was fixed. This appears to be a run of the mill (pardon the pun) fire department for a very small, rural Upstate New York community. Nonetheless, it could add heft to the other article, pointing out that the hamlet of Webbs Mills, New York is so small and non-notable as not to even rate its own article. I'll be bold and create a redirect for Webbs Mills. Bearian (talk) 11:44, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep The topic passes the WP:GNG, being discussed in detail in sources such as Chemung County, 1890-1975 and Chemung County, its history. Andrew D. (talk) 08:33, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete A search of the book mentioned by the !keeper turned out two mentions of "fire", neither of which discuss the fire department.  Searches for news reports or other notable web mentions turned up nothing.96.52.0.249 (talk) 03:53, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * The claims of the IP editor are false. The search link returns 93 different pages and these clearly discuss the topic in detail.  For example, on page 186 we find "The first fire truck was a 1916 Reo and was kept in the old Miles Cassada building in Webbs Mills..." Andrew D. (talk) 12:26, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete or merge - non noatable fire department, no indepth coverage —Мандичка YO 😜 07:48, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
 * There is in-depth coverage, as demonstrated above, and it is easy to find more such as the Chemung County County-Wide Fire Services Study Andrew D. (talk) 12:26, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
 * This is not in depth coverage... This is a brief mention in a report about all fire departments in the region. -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:25, 17 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete- not every workplace merits its own article, and the coverage seems to be mostly trivial or run-of-the-mill fluff. Reyk  YO!  12:01, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
