This article has been on cleanup since Oct 2004. There is nothing to indicate that it is notable enough to be given its own article. Of the pages that link to it, exactly one is an article, and it's Warsaw, where it resides in the See Also section. There is little information worth merging, or I would suggest that.

- How is it any more important than any other fire department, so much so that it needs an article of its own? ♠PMC♠ 23:53, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Well that's not really a question for Afd, but Warsaw is a large capital city. Kappa 00:27, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, "Does this subject need an article?" is pretty much what AFD is for, as far as I can tell. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 12:26, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- That would explain your bizarre voting. Kappa 15:03, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't see you voting keep on garage bands, websites, neologisms, non-notable people, etc. Everyone has a point where they say, "You know, this isn't an encyclopedic subject." - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 15:15, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- No-one would search for these things, and there is generally no verfiable informational available about them, so the question of whether they need an article or not is irrelevant. Kappa 07:36, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. This isn't a timed game. This is a worthy subject, and the data captured thus far doesn't merge well into Warsaw. Unfocused 17:45, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. As usual, no deletion required. Trollderella 17:57, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge with Warsaw, where interested users are more likely to find it. Denni☯ 00:44, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Interested users would be also be looking for it in Category:Fire departments. Kappa 01:12, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete; if this was a famous fire department (like the NYFD) then I could understand, but . . . 24.101.81.135 01:17, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- How do you know it's not famous? Kappa 01:26, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- How can we make any claims whatsoever? There's no context here, which is a CSD. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 12:26, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, as all signs point to this being entirely unexpandable. This article doesn't even provide sufficient context to tell which Warsaw it's talking about. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 12:26, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- How about the sign pointing to the Polish wikipedia? ----
- Could easily have been added in error, on the assumption that this was about the Warsaw, Poland fire brigade. The interwiki link wasn't added by the original author. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 15:15, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK - this is worse than I thought: Warsaw, the capital of Poland; Warsaw, Illinois; Warsaw, Indiana; * Warsaw, Kentucky; Warsaw, Missouri; Warsaw, New York; Warsaw, North Carolina; Warsaw, Ohio; and Warsaw, Virginia all have fire departments of brigades. I would imagine that the information for most of these can go in the article for the place, with some kind of disambig, larger places, like the capital of Poland might well merit their own article.

- Keep Warsaw Poland is clearly the primary meaning of Warsaw. This is a national capital we're talking about. It's a pity that we don't have more Polish contributors to improve it faster, but deleting valuable stubs is a good way to ensure that problem endures. CalJW 18:30, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as not encyclopedic. Fails to inform me as to what's special about this brigade. - brenneman(t)(c) 07:28, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
