This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Kentucky. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Kentucky|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Kentucky. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.
This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to US.

Non-notable author, professor, and political candidate. He received some national coverage in 2014 because he was the Democratic nominee in the race where Dave Brat primaried out House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, but not very much. The fact that news coverage of him completely dried up after the 2014 race shows he is not a notable person. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 17:05, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

- Comment. It is clear that he does not merit inclusion for his political activity which consists of run of the mill party activism, the 2014 US House election, and a respectable overperformance in a special election earlier this year. This is why professors who run for office are always a tricky one for me. The article is clearly created due to a candidacy, but they might qualify for their professional work. The Mount St. Mary's University directory says that he is at present a Department Chair (which is not to say that Department Chair shares a definition with "chair" at Wikipedia:Notability (academics)). Ultimately, I think this will need to be judged with Wikipedia:Notability (academics) with no regard as to his candidacies. He has a bibliography at Amazon which is NOT self-published works. He also has a number of results on Google Scholar, EBSCO Host, and JSTOR pending verification it is the same Jack Trammell. The article needs an update and to be reframed away from his candidacies. I do hope to have a formal vote before the close of this AfD, but I'm in "weak keep" to "keep" territory at the moment.--Mpen320 (talk) 20:51, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
