Police intelligence

This longstanding article cites no sources, appears to be an essay, or promotional material, also entirely UK centric for a subject which if properly covered would have widely differing international aspects. Wnjr (talk) 10:11, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Intelligence (information gathering) or Criminal intelligence. Hmm, well, it's a notable enough concept, so there's no reason for deletion. I do agree that the article currently is highly problematic - and besides, almost nothing links to it. I don't really see why the article needs to be seperate. If it can be improved, with reliable sources and a worldwide focus, perhaps it merits its own article, but for now, just redirect it into something more appropriate. -Lilac Soul ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 10:57, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Criminal intelligence. I agree with Lilac Soul that currently neither article is large enough to need to be split off from the other. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 12:52, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in some format. This is valuable information on UK policing, but its scope is inappropriate to the broad title. I would recommend renaming the article to a more specific title and using it as a subarticle of Intelligence-led policing, which is the best article I see on the topic -- criminal intelligence is not looking very good right now, and a merge there would completely overbalance it.

Keep. It could be merged with Criminal intelligence, but an AfD debate is not a proper place to debate merging.Biophys (talk) 23:08, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
