The result was no consensus. No consensus in the strict sense of the term, but a merger to Ambulance Operators Association of Nova Scotia appears the most broadly acceptable solution. Sandstein 09:29, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

PROD removed by article creator. PROD reason still stands, however: "Relatively young society. Google search gives 26 hits, none of them to independent reliable sources. Does not meet WP:GROUP or WP:GNG. Article creation premature". Randykitty (talk) 13:34, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, Articles relate to the development of Nova Scotia EMS and the evolution of this system. Part of the history of the area.76.11.123.218 (talk) 00:48, 30 June 2013 (UTC) — 76.11.123.218 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- Comment That is not a policy-based argument. We need reliable independent sources to verify the content. --Randykitty (talk) 04:53, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Unsure - a move to Emergency medical services in Nova Scotia may be in order. Bearian (talk) 21:30, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- See Emergency medical services in Canada; there's a red link to Nova Scotia Emergency Health Services. Perhaps a move or redirect may be a cheap and easy way to dispose of this matter. Bearian (talk) 21:33, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge (with redirect) to Ambulance Operators Association of Nova Scotia which was recently put up for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ambulance Operators Association of Nova Scotia (closed as keep). That organisation is the predecessor to this one (sort of) and is older and has been the subject of more coverage. This much newer organisation (founded in 2011) hasn't yet been the subject of nearly as much coverage. There's a place, I think, to add some detail about this organisation to the end of that article with some detail about its genesis at the disbanding of the other. But I'd also have no problem with them being blended and moved to the title Nova Scotia Emergency Health Services with a full account of the old organisation and the new one and with appropriate redirects. I don't think such a topic would have any problem being considered notable and it would allow us to cover both properly though the more recently might not yet be notable enough to qualify for an article of its own. It seems a shame, having "saved" the other, to now delete this one and leave the "last part of the story untold". Stalwart111 06:50, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The problem I see with both the above proposed move and merge is that it doesn't solve the problem that we have no independent sources to base an article (or part of an article) on. --Randykitty (talk) 07:01, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, an entirely valid point. I supposed the complication is that the former was an industry association representing a number of operators but not their employees. There seems to now be only one operator and one capable of representing itself without an "association". This association doesn't do the employee advocate stuff, because that is left to the unions now. There isn't a great historical repository of content about this newer organisation because it is that repository of historical content - their aim is apparently to preserve the history of those previous organisations and people. Ironically, the latter organisation would probably be a good source of information about the former organisation. To be clear, I'd be advocating for the inclusion of a line or two, not a large section, just outlining that it exists and what it does and maybe covering the one or two things that can be verified with the couple of news articles that are available. Most of the unverified content would have to go. Stalwart111 03:59, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge as above. Appears this is the best solution for this article. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 20:42, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
