Prod on 2007-09-27 by User:Akradecki for being an "Essay with limited context and a lot of original research". I agree it is written more like an essay than an article, though I think that is more a reason for a clean up than deletion. There appear to be a lot of reference materials used in writing the article, though not well used. I can understanding the thinking behind the prod, as this requires a lot of work, and there is a question about if the material is worth the work. And that's why I'm putting it up for discussion, because there is that question about it. My feeling is that something could be saved and merged into Fire fighting, and that there may be someone who is willing and able to do that. I am not willing to do the work myself, which is why I am not actually !voting for this to be kept. My listing is neutral. SilkTork *SilkyTalk 18:45, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep A lot of sourced material there.--Bedivere 18:50, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Not an original research. There are 20+ reliable sources. It only needs wikification.Biophys 23:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Content fork of Wildland fire suppression and/or Fire fighting. There is nothing really worth merging. -- Jreferee t/c 06:05, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Biophys -- Atlant 11:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Wikify and merge to Wildland fire suppression. References should be redone as in-line citations with a reflest, not the Chicago style citations currently used. Neither article is long enough to cause size concerns. Parsecboy 13:08, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
