The reasons for deletion outlined at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officers killed in the line of duty apply equally to this article: Wikipedia is not a memorial site, and this is a non-encyclopaedic cross-categorisation that fails WP:LISTN. Like that article, this also lacks inline citations and relies on two general references, one to a primary source and the other to an unreliable source based on user-generated content. – Arms & Hearts ( talk) 12:44, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

- Keep this is a list of people so the relevant guideline to pass is WP:NLIST. Lists which provide navigation or information are usually kept. This list provides information. The death of a police officer is dramatic yet the officer may not merit an individual article, so the list is an appropriate placement. The nomination calls out the lack of references, however items on the list can be referenced they are notable. Additionally the fact that another list of Sherifs was deleted does not mean this list should be deleted - we may find a new WP:LOCALCONSENSUS. Lightburst ( talk) 14:31, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- delete I see no reason not to follow the precedent set by the previous deletion, since all the same arguments apply here. Mangoe ( talk) 21:05, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
