Talk:Metro West Ambulance

Created page

First off, to note, Precedent for individual ambulance companies set by American Medical Response, Toronto EMS and Louisville Metro EMS.

The formatting for future expansion is embedded in the article.

That's all for now.

Remember, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument to prevent deletion. This subject is borderline notable, in my opinion. You say "the formatting for future expansion is embedded in the article." I'm not quite sure what that means — do you plan on expanding the article yourself, or you put in a framework for others to expand it? I hope it is mainly work you plan on doing, or it likely won't get done. See if you can come up with some other source/citation material to get us past "borderline" status. If there's been any controversy about the company that is documented by reliable sources, don't forget to put that in too. Cover all sides. Realkyhick 03:56, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I understand, but individual companies, once established historically, ought be article-worthy. I put more formatting in but then commented it out as I don't expect to have it greatly expanded too soon. I will continue to expand, but I expect others would too. The company is a big deal regionally, but not nationally. And yes, there have been controversies (like any company), and I have every intention of including them too. Thanks for your comment and support (if borderline). It will be a continual work-in-progress.  :-) VigilancePrime

The only thing you need to understand is WP:CORP. Read that and make sure this article demonstrates notability through reliable sources and it can stay. Otherwise it will be deleted. The Oregonian and the Portland Business Journal are the most likely place to find those types of sources, and to a lesser extent the Hillsboro Argus. Aboutmovies 20:47, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MetroWest1.gif

Image:MetroWest1.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
