[edit] Villa Grove Fire Department

Non-notable institution. (I would like to add that for a first-time user/editor, this is a very nice looking article.) CrypticBacon 07:14, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

• The fire department is a pretty important institution in a town, and probably as notable as any school. But this town is pretty small. Also, I don't think we need detailed info on the numbering of the fire engines. Trim and merge with Villa Grove, Illinois. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:09, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Changing my vote to delete after I saw that the contributor wants this copyrighted. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:58, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I don't think fire stations are as notable as schools. I don't happen to think schools are that notable and fire stations rank below them - I can't see police stations as being notable for the same reasons. MLA 10:31, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, nn fire station. --Terence Ong 10:39, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Copyvio. At the bottom, it says "Copyright 2006 Chris Elston", which either means this is pasted from somewhere or the author doesn't understand the GFDL. Delete for that reason, but I do think fire departments are generally notable (better candidates for sections in their town article than having their own articles though).

• Delete as copyvio or otherwise abused copyright. ergot 20:03, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete local politics, local political meetings, local political clubs, local schools, local churches, and now local fire departments are not inherently notable. Those who favor inclusion of every one-room-schoolhouse can start to see the fruits of their inclusiveness. Carlossuarez46 22:21, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
