Residents

Have just removed all entries that are already listed in the Rochester Residents list and added a reference to it. We can add in here any person who is in the county but NOT in the city, if there are any. Hopefully nobody has an objection to this. -- Alucard (Dr.) | Talk 17:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, there is now a Category:Wikipedians in Rochester, New York. Kingturtle (talk) 18:55, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Monroe County Sheriff's Office (New York)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was merge per WP:SILENT. Bgv. (talk) 21:57, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office does not appear to be notable on its own. As it stands, it has a single reference. Another editor listed some local news articles at Talk:Monroe County Sheriff's Office (New York) § Potential references, but local news does not establish notability under WP:ORG. I've searched myself and have found pretty much nothing. The New York Times has a few archive articles [1] [2], but those don't appear to constitute significant coverage either. I suggest that the Monroe County Sheriff's Office could be covered adequately in a small section on this page. -Apocheir (talk) 22:44, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me. --Hammersoft (talk) 23:28, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just stripped a bunch of uncited or inappropriate information from the article. Time to build it up from there. Still needs citations, though, for the content that remains. Someone added some suggested sources on the talk page. Might have potential. Not my interests, though, so I won't work on that part. Platonk (talk) 02:04, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No action on this discussion in ~4 months. Taking a look at the proposed sources, and taking a gander on the net, notability for a standalone article doesn't seem to be there. Many of the references mention the Sheriffs office only in conjunction with a more notable event. Coverage is on the incident, not on the office proper. Going to close this out per WP:SILENT and merge. Bgv. (talk) 21:57, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
