I'd call this an unremarkable organisation, but a speedy was declined. What is ther to say about these boys in blue that cannot be covered in the article on Findlay, Ohio. ...now, if they didn't have a police department, that would be worth an article.

Delete -- Nothing in this article tells me that Findlay is notable among 18,000 police departments in the United States. No independent reliable secondary sources. Rhadow (talk) 16:30, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Findlay, Ohio (and establish a #Government section on that page). - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:52, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- So I tried copying the text to Findlay, Ohio, The Bushranger, but ‎John from Idegon rejected it. Rhadow (talk) 16:09, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, that's because you didn't copy the text, you copied the infobox. I've re-added a section there correctly. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:08, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:ORG. Specifically, oppose a merge. Nominator stated why - lack of a police department would be encyclopedic, having one, not so much. And Template:Infobox police is really not appropriate in a settlement article, Rhadow. John from Idegon (talk) 16:55, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- You've slightly misread the nominator's statment; that "lack of would be notable" was referring to having an article, not performing a merge. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:08, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect to Findlay, Ohio. There's no issue with having information about the PD on the city page. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:52, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
