This article should be merged with the main Gosport article as it is a small organisation associated with Gosport. This article should also be rewritten as there is evidence of self promotion in some sections.

  • Oppose - I would disagree with the proposal of a merge, it is a charity like any other and is entitled to its own article, the GOSPORT article describes a town, it should not include a charity. If this were to be standard across every charity article it would be impossible to find them on Wikipedia as they are all hidden within the town or cities wiki article they are based in.
The same as any company, you wouldn't put all information about say IBM under Portsmouth's article just because it's main UK HQ is based in Portsmouth? It would be worth putting a link on GOSPORT article saying that there is a lifeboat station called GAFIRS in the town and then link back to the GAFIRS article. I would agree that this article may need some minor re-writing as it is self-promoting. Maybe the text is copied from their own website? 89.243.201.233 (talk) 17:34, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose as per above. There is no logic in merging this article with another one on another subject. The article needs work, but I can see no reason why the subject matter shouldn't support an article. AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:14, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
