Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Tennessee

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Tennessee. 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|Tennessee|~~~~}} 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 Tennessee. 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.

Gjika Amplification

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Minor, non-notable amp maker, promotional article. Coverage fails WP:CORPTRIV. The closest thing to significant coverage is a reverb.com article that's just a few paragraphs in a list, and it's an e-commerce site anyway. The article is highly promotional in content - and probably purpose. The edit history is a years-long list of single-purpose IPs loading up on POV material, only to be reverted (and then re-adding it). Mbinebri (talk) 11:24, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also note edits like this, in which the IP puts this company's entry at the top of a list that's otherwise alphabetical. It's silly and small, but clearly the goal here is promotion. Mbinebri (talk) 11:33, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies and Massachusetts. Shellwood (talk) 11:30, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Ugh, this isn't a "company," this is one guy making amps. We'd have to have some very strong references for this to clear WP:ORG, and those aren't there. It's hard not to think that all those IP edits are Gjika himself from whatever city he happens to be in at the time. Ravenswing 15:00, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Music, Arizona, California, Tennessee, and Texas. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 23:28, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Promotional COI issue by various IPs. Pretty much a promotional article. ロドリゲス恭子 (talk) 17:44, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The flagging for deletion of the Gjika Amplification Wikipedia article is misguided. Gjika Amplification is an established boutique guitar amplifier company with a clear and verifiable history dating back to the 1980s, founded by Bob Gjika. Gjika amplifiers have been used by notable artists such as Shaun Lane, and Bob Gjika's pioneering contributions to the boutique amplifier industry are widely acknowledged.

Deleting this article would not only erase a piece of this niche industry's history but also disrespect the significant contributions of Bob Gjika. The article is not a mere advertisement; it is a historical account of an important amplifier designer and builder, with its information supported by citations from reputable sources like Guitar Player Magazine and Premier Guitar. This article meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability and should be retained. Tubesfordays (talk) 22:18, 21 May 2025 (UTC) — Tubesfordays (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Unfortunately, according to Wikipedia's notability guidelines, a subject requires substantial coverage in reliable news sources to qualify. The fact that certain musicians have used it does not help eligibility. Since the company has been around for a long time, there may be older coverage available—if you can locate any, please feel free to share the details for review. Mysecretgarden (talk) 01:33, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – The company does not have enough news coverage. The Reverb article is just about the only good coverage and is not enough. Mysecretgarden (talk) 01:35, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

James C. Ford Memorial Bridge

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

very short article which does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NGEO; only sources are a document on the bridge's renaming and a list of local bridges. harrz ^talk 19:34, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Architecture and Tennessee. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 20:22, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Transportation-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 00:41, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

keep While "very short article which does not meet WP:GNG" the bridge appears to be significant and with sources that are likely out there, it would satisfy Wikipedia:NGEO.19:24, 23 May 2025 (UTC)~ (comment by User:Djflem. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:19, 24 May 2025 (UTC))[reply]

Fails WP:GNG. A behind-the-scenes film production worker doesn't get a lot of media notice. He's no exception. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:08, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. As I've already told the user before, both in their talk page and in another AfD, they must remember that this is a BLP, so the standards for sourcing are much more strict than the article observes, also. Coeusin (talk) 00:45, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Contested WP:PROD; questionable sourcing; some original research; tone concerns. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 16:03, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to WPGD-TV History before Edge Spectrum came in and switched networks from 3ABN to TBN is unremarkable, and whatever their actual plans outside rebroadcasting WPGD-TV on ATSC 3.0 is a big unknown just because we have no idea what Edge Spectrum plans for their stations when they actually build them out or acquire one. Right now it's a pointless in-market translator for a network overcovered by WPGD and streaming...and it's not even broadcasting any of the networks in HD, even though the standard would allow that and they have nothing else outside these channels on their spectrum (this is why I AfD'ed their article, because I'm baffled about everything Edge Spectrum does).

Merge to WPGD-TV. I think it can be salvaged a bit. Ramos1990 (talk) 06:09, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
