This article was previously nominated for deletion, but it appears there was some confusion about what it is actually about. All it describes is a local branch of the national police force, the Carabineros de Chile. For comparison to the US, it's a bit like having an article about a single detachment of state police. It is categorically not a police force or police department in it's own right. ninety:one 18:08, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails general notability guidelines. Individual units of the carabineros are not notable. Perhaps large subdivisions are but there are no local carabineros entities in Chile. The carabineros stationed in this town are not limited to patrolling this town and ones stationed in a neighboring town patrol this town and so forth.Thisbites (talk) 03:32, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's the communal subdivision of Carabineros de Chile in a provincial capital, we wouldn't be running out of the mill, nor creating confusion by adding articles on every single one, and I'm sure there are other ones which could have better references than this one will ever reach.

Merge into Pichilemu. That seems like a reasonable compromise. /ƒETCH COMMS / 01:35, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Where exactly into the article do you suggest? I can't think of a good place for it, there. I'm happy either keeping this on its own article or creating a list with all of the Pichilemu-based organizations (properly sourced, of course). Diego Grez (talk) 01:38, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Pichilemu#Government and politics? At least in the U.S., police forces are part of the government. /ƒETCH COMMS / 01:39, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Oh well. In Chile they are, kind of. Diego Grez (talk) 01:40, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, due to: not a police force by its own right, small size and dubious notability.Dentren | ^Talk 13:12, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
