Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Johnson City Police Department (Tennessee)
per nom, adding also that the vast majority of US local or county level police agencies fail |ORG miserably. Sure they get tons of mentions in the local press but with very few exceptions, those mentions are either about the crime they fight or personnel changes, not the kind of detailed coverage of the department itself required for notability. Also, coverage for local police agencies is rarely anything but local coverage, failing one of the prime edicts of ORG, a guideline that supersedes |GNG.  Pretty much the only way a small local agency is gonna be notable is if there was significant systemic scandal somewhere in its history. Note that I specifically oppose merging here. The only content needed in the Johnson City, Tennessee article is a one line mention of the agency's existence. Nothing here would be encyclopedic in a settlement article. Keep in mind that this is a general encyclopedia, and police buff content belongs somewhere else. Pinging {{u|MSJapan}} for his view on redirect, as that is what is generally done with articles on nn police or fire departments
