Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Harpur's Ferry

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Binghamton University#Harpur's Ferry Student Volunteer Ambulance Service. Redirect would be the normal course here, especially when the group has a distinctive name that might be looked for. No objection to merging a small amount of the content, if desired.

This group appears to lack the coverage in independent necessary to meet WP:GNG or WP:ORG. The closest thing I could find was this story from Binghamton's local news. It looks like these students are doing some impressive work, but that doesn't make them notable. --BDD (talk) 23:34, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Binghamton University#Harpur's Ferry Student Volunteer Ambulance Service seems a normal action to produce a helpful redirect. Notability is not needed for redirects. The Whispering Wind (talk) 03:07, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Binghamton University#Harpur's Ferry Student Volunteer Ambulance Service. I agree with TWW. Redirect seems a good idea. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:38, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- <grumble, grumble> OK, I'm not that experienced at AFD, but have started following medical deletion discussions. I don't care if it's a redirect or a delete (if that helps the closing admin). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:41, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (disclosure: COI)- This article seems to mirror many other entries in Category:Collegiate EMS Agencies or Category:Ambulance services in the United States. I wished the author added more references (Journal of EMS, recognitions from 80's and 90's) as well as proper referencing of the state and national awards. It is hard to be notable when privacy laws (see HIPPA) prevent you from announcing notable events.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 04:30, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since this seems to be going to redirect, can the article be wp:userfy to me. I believe it can pass WP:ORG or similar with some work, but I cannot get to it before AfD expiration.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 00:22, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If I were the deleting admin and you made that request, I'd grant it, so I have no objections to that either. The article simply shouldn't be kept in its current state (i.e., keep, no consensus, or a significant improvement). --BDD (talk) 01:00, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, redirection would be fine (we'd want to move the hatnote, however). The page history will allow merging for any interested editors, and in this case, it appears there's some content that could be merged. --BDD (talk) 20:40, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
