Non notable per WP:ORG also a similar debate on EMS services was discussed here. Peter.C • talk 01:08, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Another one of these Vendetta AfDs. Note to nominator: this is not a hospital, so no ambulance. That belongs to Pichilemu Hospital, article which I'm not gonna create for the foreseeable AfD it would risk. Organization is significative to History of Pichilemu, part of the series of these articles. Diego Grez (talk) 01:11, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While not the same the principals are the same. Also why do you say it's a vendetta? Peter.C • talk 01:21, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think this and this came just because of what? --Diego Grez (talk) 01:27, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I voted on the deletion of it and I went to check to see if any more of the articles were also non notable. By no means is this a vendetta of any sort. Peter.C • talk 01:30, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Peter.C: You do think Fire Bureaux are not notable, fail WP:ORG, right? Pittsburgh Fire Bureau is in the US, the article has no references. Would you nominate it for deletion? --Diego Grez (talk) 01:55, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Pittsburgh serves about 2,462,571 people. While YES it could be written better it has external links and passes notability but it needs a re-write by an experienced user in the fire portal. Peter.C • talk 02:10, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See? You have proven you are biased towards US-content. Pichilemu is a small town? Yes. Pichilemu has very few inhabitants? Yes, around 15.000 as of 2010. Pichilemu has the same right to have articles on different topics like Pittsburgh? Yes. Smaller organization such as the Pichilemu Fire Bureau merit an article just like Pittsburgh's does. --Diego Grez (talk) 02:12, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am not biased. If you were to show me a article of a fire department in Chile which services a city that is in the same state of disrepair as the Pittsburgh article I would say the same thing. The reason why your town's fire department fails notability is (to take a quote from the EMS talk page) "The oversimplified version is that if nobody outside your hometown has written about your org, then you don't get a stand-alone article about your org. (You might get a sentence, paragraph, or section in a related article, however; for example, the ambulance corps for a town could be described in the article about the town.)" Peter.C • talk 02:21, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is not a Wikipedia policy, and the Fire Bureau of Pichilemu obviously does not fail notability, as you might see by googling Bomberos de Pichilemu, something that I'm sure you haven't cared to do. --Diego Grez (talk) 02:26, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If their are so many sources available that can be used on the article why have you not utilized them? Peter.C • talk 02:37, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps because I tried to create the most articles possible about Pichilemu, and then plan to expand them? --Diego Grez (talk) 02:39, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you didn't bite off more then you could chew then this would not be happening. Peter.C • talk 02:52, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A small town's fire service is hardly notable and fails WP:ORG. Accusing others of biased or having a vendetta against you is obviously not going help.—Chris!_c/t 02:36, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as far as I know, I can't see any sources or coverage independent of the organization itself. It is therefore not notable. In regards to concerns about perceived U.S. bias, whether actual or not, WP:UNDUE applies. :| TelCo NaSpVe :| 04:10, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete Why does a provincial town have its own article about its fire department when the capital of Chile lacks its own? Also, comparing a town with a population of 15,000 to a international city with 3 million is disingenuous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.37.56 (talk) 05:07, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete notable to people who live there, but not encyclopedic. See also WP:MILL. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:52, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment my hometown has the same population as Pichilemu, but it does not and should not have separate articles for Sports, Schools, Library, Fire Department, etc. because it is too small to be notable. Wikipedia is not a webhost; that kind of information should be hosted on a small town's own webpage, where they can use their own notability criteria (ie, "it's in our town, so it's notable"). The Fire Department is listed under "Attractions"! Are there really tourists coming to Pichilemu to see the Fire Department? If so, Strong Keep! (Further, it is not appropriate to state an article is "my" article even if you created it; Wikipedia is not yours.) Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 14:31, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete My town's fire department doesn't have an article on it, and my town is almost 10x bigger... I honestly don't think that every town's fire department needs an article on it, unless it's big like New York, etc. Pilif12p : Yo 14:59, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
