[edit] Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter

this page does not fit within the standard Wikipedia guidelines. It may be better served as a small mention in a larger article on Austrailian rescue services. Caspiankilkelly 19:55, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with Kingsford Smith International Airport. There's already a section header there for it. :) Tevildo 00:12, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable Australian rescue helicopter service. An Australia - New Zealand database gets 354 hits for it. There are a couple of Google News references for it see [1].

and this is not the peak season for it. During the Australian summer, you would get more stories written about it. Needs to be wikified and otherwise cleaned up a bit but notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 03:55, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep There is absolutely no question in Australian terms about its individual notability. Which guidelines is it going against by the way? The nominator should be more specific about their claims and possibly investigate the local (ie, the whole of australia) notability of the subject first. Would it be better to note about some of the thousands of rescues that it has been involved in? Ansell 23:55, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep notable. SM247^{My Talk} 02:20, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, notable service. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 18:41, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, and move to Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Services. The article doesn't (and shouldn't) be focused on the helicopters, but the service —Pengo 06:37, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I saw one of the helicopters on TV last night and thought to check if there was a Wikipedia article about the service. Was surprised to see it was up for deletion. Definitely notable to Australians. --Canley 09:40, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep The helicopter service has been around for over 30years and has saved over 20,000 lives!!! I support the move to about the service not entirely the helicopters. --Feelinsoryan 13:17, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, as above. Grey Shadow 23:18, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
