[edit] Ambulance Service of Manchester

Ambulance Service of Manchester (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Well-written and carefully formatted article, but no indication of why this local ambulance company is encyclopedically notable. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:20, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Creator: I truly believe that this article should remain in Wikipedia. ASM has numerous achievements and (subjectively) a large civic importance in the Hartford, CT region. Would adding local and state-wide achievements help this entry?CSMorg (talk) 15:47, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes that would help. Particularly if you can add references to verifiable and reliable sources. -Verdatum (talk) 21:17, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep - This article looks like it has plenty of potential. Agreed, it has not yet established notability, but it's only one day old! Can't we at least tag articles to request the establishment of notability before rushing to AFD? -Verdatum (talk) 21:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Delete - On further consideration and research, I'm I can't see any evidence of notability. Perhaps the creator could maintain it locally or on a user subpage until research uncovers a reference establishing notability. -Verdatum (talk) 15:33, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. If it is kept, and I have no opinion on that, it should be renamed to Ambulance Service of Manchester, Connecticut in line with the artcile name for that city and to avoid confusion with the great city of Manchester in the UK. --Bduke (talk) 02:36, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete small city ambulance company. Important in region only, no general notability. All sources are probably goingto be trivial. They raised $X at the fund drive, they transported the victims of road accident Y. etc etc. DGG (talk) 05:25, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete in line with DGG's reasoning. There possible scope of notability is very limited Corpx (talk) 08:41, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Creator: I appreciate the constructive criticism that has been posted up to this point. I am currently in the process of researching material, in order to positively articulate why the Ambulance Service of Manchester should remain on Wikipedia. Please allow me time in order to research and obtain this information. Thanks!" 76.230.153.220 (talk) 14:01, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • From the looks of the direction of this !vote, I dont believe you will not be granted your request of time to fix this article up. However, may I suggest that you create an account and have this article "Userfied" (moved to a sub-page of your Userpage). there you can keep it as long as you wish while you bring it up to expected standards.
