Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Police

Shortcuts

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Police. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Police|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Police. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Filled with primary sources and fluff. A few secondary sources go to dead links. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 19:48, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Like the Karnataka Police, this may be a case of presumed notability where the article needs massive work but the subject is notable given this police force covers a city of 8M people. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 20:17, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Police and Karnataka. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 20:23, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Only because of the size of the force, but right now it needs a major update and neutralization going from the article body saying the force's required cell phone is a Blackberry; most of the sources are PRIMARY as-is. Nate • (chatter) 23:55, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: Can this be merged with its parent page Karnataka Police, much of the content (especially Insignia) seems redundant. Some of the content or references need over-haul or could be specific to State police at hand. For example Template:Indian Police Service Officer Ranks used at this page derives references from Maharashtra Police, Kerala Police or Odisha Police sources Nisingh.8 (talk) 10:10, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
