This seems to be a hoax, and cannot meet
WP:N, with no hits on google. Furthermore I have been in EMS for over 10 years and have never heard of such a thing. There is how ever a "thin blue line" which is used in our police and law enforcement brothers and sister, but in no way shape or form has anything to do with this page.

- Delete. The Thin White Line seems to have a fair bit of use as a title for various things, but not as a concept in relation to any EMS. In this case it would seem to be a non-notable neologism. Kevin (talk) 00:53, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. To the extent this exists, it is not notable. I can find products with this emblem [1][2][3] but no independent coverage. | Talk 01:21, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: I am an EMS educator and I personally know EMT's (including myself) that display this emblem for the reasons stated in the original article. Products are available to EMS personel from sources such as: (http://www.rescuetees.com/category/show/4377). I provide them to students that pass their exams as a congratulations gift. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DragonFired (talk • contribs) — DragonFired (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- comment - I'm also a EMS educator and again have never heard of this before. Either way, it still does not meet WP:NEO. Due to these reasons this page does not meet wiki's rules for inclusion. Medicellis (talk) 23:37, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge - to emergency medical services. It exists, but as a logo, there does not appear to be reliable sources writing about it to support a standalone article. -- Whpq (talk) 20:35, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Delete—I doubt the EMS article would have it. There's a couple products out there, but nowhere near as notable as the Thin Blue Line concept, and not notable enough for WP. Livitup (talk) 13:46, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete 2+ years in EMS, and this is the first I've heard of it. It may be locally notable somewhere, but the Google hits reflect a Family Guy episode, a TIME article on Portugal, Bird Flu, and a ton of other completely unrelated things. It certainly seems like a neologism to me. Jclemens (talk) 16:10, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete owing to having just called my brother who is an EMT in the Bronx, and having him do a quick poll of his co-workers, and none of them having heard of it. Ford MF (talk) 19:43, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
