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.
- Note that 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 links to other discussions ( prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Tennessee.
- 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.

- But it still shows that everything is based on facts? So what is the problem
Elektrinhooo (

- He hadn't accomplished anything we'd consider for musical notability here; he got barely any press mentions when he was alive. A tragic death, yes, but that isn't enough for notability.
Oaktree b (

- Oh but I do think his appearances on the Trippie Redd songs are notable. Really good performances and I have never seen anyone say they weren't good. The Trippie Redd tapes he was on did chart on the billboard 200, so I'd say that this is partially because of him. Elektrinhooo ( talk) 10:30, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: No notability when alive it seems, I don't see charted singles, album reviews or much of anything. Even the many articles on his death are about him being a friend of Justin Bieber. Friend of a famous person doesn't quite get us notability. Oaktree b ( talk) 19:50, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - No indication of notability before his death. Magnolia677 ( talk) 21:25, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - We've seen this a lot, as a previously non-notable musician (typically a murdered rapper) suddenly gets media coverage for his death, and media outlets use the occasion to talk about his music for the first time ever while quoting more famous people that he knew. This rapper achieved nothing musically that qualifies for notability at WP:NMUSICIAN. All media coverage is about his recent death, but that does not qualify for notability under WP:NVICTIM either. May he R.I.P. but he doesn't qualify for an article here. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 13:39, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Sources are too thin and it seems notability has not been established. InDimensional ( talk) 11:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: It's odd that nobody has brought up moving the page to Death of Chris King but even then it would probably not follow WP:NOTNEWS and WP:LASTING. Duke of New Gwynedd ( talk | contrib.) 19:11, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to List of television stations in Tennessee#LPTV stations: At least in theory there is probably more potential for significant coverage here than the numerous all-national too-new LPTVs (this one does seem to have always had some local content), but in 2024 notability on Wikipedia is determined by, at minimum, the known existence of GNG-level sourcing, not merely the possibility of them. There might not be enough to justify anything more than an {{ R to list entry}} as an alternative to deletion. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 18:43, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to List of television stations in Tennessee#LPTV stations: a 25-year-old station is probably more likely to have the required significant coverage, but this topic area's inclusion standards are no longer based on existence and the mere possibility that there are sources — they require SIGCOV and the definitive existence of same. Unless better sourcing emerges than directories, FCC records, and non- independent sources, an {{ R to list entry}} as an alternative to deletion is the best that can be done.
