I've declined the speedy deletion. There's too much linking here, including stuff that probably should link to Alexandria Police Department (Virginia), and this should just become a dab page. Mackensen (talk) 04:43, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can't we just replace other things that link to the Virgina page instead of this one, I just don't want people to be deceived JayJay^{Talk to me} 04:47, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It would be helpful for future articles if we had a list of potential names (also guarantees a certain uniformity in naming). For example, we'd have red-links to Alexandria Police Department (Kentucky) and Alexandria Police Department (Minnesota). Mackensen (talk) 05:02, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done this page is no longer linked to List of law enforcement agencies in Kentucky or List of law enforcement agencies in Minnesota JayJay^{Talk to me} 05:08, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's not quite what I had in mind, and we wind up being in the odd place of having a disambiguation with only one actual article. Eh, worse things have happened. I think it makes sense to leave the redirect in place as the most likely search, although if you decide to re-nominate it I won't contest it. Mackensen (talk) 05:15, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well I got it all cleared up and we can leave the redirect. JayJay^{Talk to me} 05:17, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
