Article celebrating a small unit of volunteers who are part of a single city's EMS -- & therefore promotional, containing as promotional articles do, material of interest only to potential or current volunteers or clients.

I know there's a human interest NYT article. If GNG justifies calling this notable, then the justification for removing the article is its fundamental unencyclopedic nature. The basic principle of WP is that it's an encyclopedia . DGG ( talk ) 00:46, 6 August 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete It's out of CSD territory, however it's still WP:PROMO material, especially when factoring in the fact that the author is possibly from there, judging by content on their user page, and this article was previously PRODed last year. RegistryKey (RegEdit) 19:25, 20 August 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete While it could be rewritten to not be promotional, and AFD is not cleanup, the fact remains that this fails WP:GNG. Smartyllama ( talk) 14:19, 26 August 2016 (UTC) reply
