Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gatlinburg Police Department
there are contributors who think these articles deserve to exist" is enough grounds to create ''any'' article. "need feedback on why most local police and fire departments are deemed nonnotable" ... no ... then need feedback on what  ''is'' and how to dig up notability for each Articles topic. Your point of view seem extreamly deletionist. Yours and the Nominators statements also seem to be relying upon the fact that, ''if other stuff does not exist, then why should this'' which is not a valid reason for deletion. Argument from ignorance seems a relevent article to read at this point
