• Delete As before. The only source is its own site. Undoubtedly local newspaper stories can be found, but unless something particularly dramatic happened there involving the sheriff's office, they would probably best be considered incidental mentions. As with other topics, probably large city police departments are notable, and sheriff's offices for really major counties, but not in general. merge into the country article.

• Merge with Sullivan County, Tennessee for the same reason I gave at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sevier County Sheriff's Office. Information about public services in a county is OK within an article about that county. During the merge, the formatting of the page should be fixed as well.

• Merge all into parent articles. Individual city/county services are generally best treated with a small section in the parent article. There do exist exceptions, for example, such as New York City Fire Department which has enough history and notability independent of the general NYC government to warrant its own article. The general rule of thumb is that if the section would make the parent article too long, go ahead and fork it out - but a detailed list of jurisdictions and accounting of employee positions is WP:NOT and when you excise that you're left with basically "it is the Sheriff's office that serves Sullivan County".

• Merge all into parent articles, per my comments on the first listing of the group, and per views of editors expressed at (historical) proposed guideline WP:LOCAL.Edison 17:11, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
