WP:ILIKEIT is not an inclusion (or exclusion) criterion—but it is an essay I think you should read.  The most appropriate guideline here seems to be  (which you should also read).  Is this topic of more than local interest?  I seriously doubt it.  On the other hand, to pick one of your examples (which you obviously culled from our recent-edit lists), The Rainmakers (KC band) is a band ''I'd'' never heard of before stumbling across it at random.  But they have charted albums and singles on two continents.  Obviously a topic of interest to more than just one local community!  And it needed a complete rewrite, which I provided, not because "I like it" (for all I know, I'd hate them), but because it was a topic of obvious ''international'' interest.  Your local fire department, I'm afraid, is ''not'' a topic of international interest.  Speaking as a fellow Californian, I don't think it's of statewide interest.  And that means that  is the guideline to follow
