[edit] Shenandoah, Iowa Police Department

Shenandoah, Iowa Police Department (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Once filter to the right Shenandoah, there's no evidence of significant RS coverage and ghits don't assert any notability. It's a local organization. TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 20:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Police forces are not inherently notable - we need reliable third-party sources. —BradV 20:40, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable; article looks to be OR as well. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 21:09, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. A police force for a town of 5000? I don't think so. --Dhartung | Talk 22:15, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge to Shenandoah, Iowa. It has 8 full-time officers, 3 dispatchers, and 6 part-time employees, and it serves a small town, no doubt doing everything from parking tickets to cooperating with other law enforcement agencies in police investigations. Worthy of praise and appreciation, but not worthy of an encyclopedia article. Mandsford (talk) 04:06, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge to Shenandoah, Iowa. I created the article because the information was left on a list of Iowa law enforcement agencies by User:63.227.158.238 and I did not want to simply delete it. As no one seems to be expanding it, merging seems a reasonable idea. SGT141 (talk) 20:24, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
