Talk:Atlanta Police Department

message: This is a friendly notice that I have indeed opened an WP:AFD discussion on the article Police patrol zones of Atlanta.  The discussion can be found here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Police patrol zones of Atlanta.  Please if you have any questions about my proposal, feel free to ask.  Thanks and have a wonderful day! -- ТимофейЛееСуда.  05:58, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I brought this up during the deletion discussion of Police patrol zones of Atlanta, but I am bringing it up again here.  The content that has been added includes much information that is not encyclopedic.  Per WP:LIST, we shouldn't list largely non-notable content.  There are a lot of neighborhoods that are listed in the list that frankly do not have notability, they just exist.  Also the table now looks cluttered and messy.  In addition the section on Zones' significance in popular culture is not encyclopedic at all. The sources do not discuss that these zones themselves are notable, they simply discuss that someone famous is from that area.  Generally speaking these are only musicians and the musician singing about being from a Zone, is not notable in itself.  An article saying that a musician sang that they were from a Zone still does not make it notable.  I know the discussion result was to Merge, but I do not feel like this happened appropriately. -- ТимофейЛееСуда.  23:56, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Hi,
I was wondering why this sentence, “ The website of Atlanta Police Department, atlantapd.org was DDoSed and taken offline by the Anonymous hacking group in protest against Rayshard Brooks' killing[12]” is relevant for inclusion into this article? Grahamevan05178 (talk) 20:52, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible vandalism 

message: I am concerned by the level of disruptive editing by unregistered IPs. There has been a significant uptick in IP editing since the Killing of Rayshard Brooks. This has resulted in some cases of possible vandalism. Just recently, the demographics of the APD were changed to make it look like the vast majority of APD officers were white which is factually inaccurate. The edit was quickly reverted back to the correct demographics. I’m afraid this disruption will continue for some time but I am not sure if it warrants protection. Feel free to reply to this thread with your thoughts on the level of IP disruption in this article. Grahamevan05178 (talk) 02:13, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd second this. Given the current political climate, it is reasonable - as you said - to expect that this disruptive editing will continue for some time. Though I am trying to "assume good faith" (WP:AGF) it is difficult to see the edit you have described as anything other than politically motivated vandalism. Article protection seems like the obvious play.CelebrateMotivation (talk) 04:13, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
