Stub article about an agency that was merged with Arizona Department of Public Safety in 2011. A mention in that article would be more appropriate Roadiejay (talk) 02:19, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Arizona Department of Public Safety, which presently has nothing about the topic. NORTH AMERICA¹⁰⁰⁰ 03:29, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The nominator has advanced no valid rationale for deletion. We do not delete articles because they are stubs. We do not delete an article about an organisation because it has been amalgamated with another organisation. We do not delete an article because its content could be merged to another article. As AfD isn't for merger proposals, this nomination should be closed. If the possibility of merging this article into Arizona Department of Public Safety needs to be discussed, it should be discussed on the talk page of this article.

Keep. An independent agency until 2011 and still obviously a distinct section of the DPS. No real reason to delete. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:32, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. How do we know this organization has ever existed? There are no sources. GeorgeLouis (talk) 04:54, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a valid reason for deletion. The question is whether references exist in the first place, and it seems you didn't go look for them. I did, and found one, and added it to the article. So does that take care of it? Drmies (talk) 05:23, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Arizona Department of Public Safety. Seems like the logical solution really. There doesn't seem to be any significant coverage out side of the context of the two organizations merging. Thank you, --ceradon (talk • contribs) 05:52, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect, yes. Drmies (talk) 20:30, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Arizona Department of Public Safety. The latter article would be a better place for it completely. SamWilson989 (talk) 22:42, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
