Talk:Hendersonville, Tennessee

I removed the part of the page stating that the flood maps will not be available online. I also read that they would not be, however, here they are:



Bobby Bare (Country Singer) lives on the banks of the Old Hickory Lake with his lovely wife Jeannie. Bobby Lock (fan) South Africa.

The James Wilhoit edit war
This edit war has gone on long enough. Consensus needs to be reached as to whether or not James Wilhoit should be included under the heading "Famous Residents". Please discuss...

Well he really isn't "famous". I think he's just notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sugarlandfanatic (talk • contribs) 12:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)


 * That's a good point: someone can be notable without being famous. I tend to agree that he meets Notability. Should the section heading be changed to "Notable Residents", therefore meriting the inclusion of all notable persons calling Hendersonville home? -NatureBoyMD (talk) 15:59, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

yeah, I guees I'll just change it to :Notable Residents" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.18.141.164 (talk) 21:25, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

James Wilhoit isn't any more notable than he is famous. We're talking about a list that includes Johnny Cash and Conway Twitty. Meanwhile, James Wilhoit was a mediocre kicker who now may or may not play in a league that may or may not exist. That's not notable. And if it is, this list is going to be voluminous. There are hundreds or Hendersonville residents who have played Division 1 college sports. I believe going on to play at a high professional level would merit inclusion on the list. James Wilhoit has not done that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.245.45.165 (talk) 01:28, 18 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Just because he isn't as famous as Johnny Cash doesn't mean that he doesn't merit inclusion in this list. Wilhoit seems to meet WikiPedia's General notability guidelines. Now if you question his notability you may want to propose his article for deletion. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 23:36, 18 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Following up on my previous comment, it just occured to me what the real issue is (or should be)... He is definatly from Hendersonville, there is no doubt about that. He has an article and he is from here, so there is no reason not to include him in the list. The issue is "does he meet notability guidelines." If anyone beleives that he does not, the they should propose his article for deletion. If his article is deleted because he is deamed non-notable, then he can be removed from the list permanently. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 01:55, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

James Wilhoit is "notable" presumably for being a kicker in the "AAFL." Check the AAFL article. It doesn't exist and never did. Went bankrupt before it started. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.245.45.165 (talk) 02:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You're completly missing the point. Please re-read my previous comment. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 03:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

You're missing the point, kid. Please reread my comments. If the underlying reasons for Wilhoit's "notability" are demonstrably false what are we arguing about here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.245.45.165 (talk) 13:56, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

There's a difference between being famous and being notable. I don't think famous Hendersonvillians should be mixed with notable ones. Make 2 separate lists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sugarlandfanatic (talk • contribs) 12:30, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

For purposes of being included in a list such as this, the standard is very simple: Is it a blue link or not? If it is a blue link it can be included, otherwise not. If the person should not have a blue link then the cure is to delete his article, then remove him from this list. As long as he has an article, he is notable enough to be in this list. Sbowers3 (talk) 14:51, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Late breaking news... James Wilhoit was nominated for deletion in late 2006. The decision of the AFD debate was to keep the article. (Read all about it! -> Articles for deletion/James Wilhoit) On the basis that the article exists and that it has been deemed notable by a group of neutral Wikipedia editors, the link should stay. This should be the final word on this. Be ye warned... edit waring (including going against consensus) can result in a block of editing privileges. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 16:20, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Late breaking news... James Wilhoit is not a RESIDENT of Hendersonville. I couldn't care less if he's notable, but the man lives and works (at the the Applebee's) in Knoxville. He hasn't lived in Hendersonville since he was 18. Ergo, not a resident. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.164.88.165 (talk) 17:22, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, Johnny Cash did live there until he died. So, should he be taken of the list? A number of other entires on the list don't currently live here, but did a some point, therefore establishing some connection with the city. I have taken the liberty to rename the section "Notable natives and residents" as per WikiPorject Cities Guidelines. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 17:40, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


 * You should proofread your comments before submission. They reflect poorly on your analytical and editing capability...  So now that you've conceded there is no such thing as the AAFL, you've identified James Wilhoit's notability merely as "football placekicker?"  That's thoroughly unspecific and non-notable.  If you are going to insist that this nobody merits inclusion on the list, at least offer some specifics.  How about "UT-placekicker 200X-200X."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.164.88.165 (talk) 03:36, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Station Camp High School
Some parts of Hendersonville are zoned for Station Camp High School. This should be included in the Hendersonville schools section.

 * It isn't in Hendersonville. It's in Gallatin. It doesn't matter where the students come from. It is not located in Hendersonville, therefore cannot be listed as a school located in Hendersonville. I don't know how to make that clearer. --Smashvilletalk 20:39, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Then another section should be added or the title clarified. Many people use wikipedia to find out about this city for relocation purposes and should know what schools service the city whether they are located inside the city limits or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.18.131.201 (talk) 20:47, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. I think any person with basic motor skills is going to figure out that schools located in Hendersonville are the schools located in Hendersonville. This is an absolute non-issue. --Smashvilletalk 21:22, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I would still say that it's a big part of the city's educational system. However, since Beech High School is not technically within the city limits of Hendersonville, It should be removed as well. T.W. Hunter Middle school and Beech Elementary are also not located within the city limits of Hendersonville. 76.18.131.201 (talk) 01:24, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The list contains all public schools in Sumner county with a Hendersonville mailing address. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 02:47, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Streets of Indian Lake/Indian Lake Village
Would anyone have a photo of this development so we could have a bit of info on this project on the Hendersonville page that link's to the development's own wiki page? This is probably the biggest thing to happen in Hendersonville in many years and deserves to be mention in the Hendersonville wikipedia page. 76.18.131.201 (talk) 20:50, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Ownership of this article
Seems to me that natureboymd is trying to own this article. Everytime someone makes a edit he changes it back to what he wrote instantly. Just look at the history of this article,and the discussion page of this article for proof. This is going to stop. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.177.250.140 (talk) 05:33, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Take a look at the content that was revereted by my edits. Most of them were patent vandalism (cursing, addition of randmom characters), someone adding themselves to the list of notable people, or involved the deletion of factually-accurate info or the addition of incorrect info. Specifically, your recent edits removed a bit about Hendersonville being in the Nashville Metropolitan Statistical Area. If you'll click on that link, you will see that it is. NatureBoyMD (talk) 17:07, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

So now your excuse,other than vandalism is- the deletion of factually-accurate info or the addition of incorrect info. And this is deemed by? Guess who? YOU! I guess no one else in Hendersonville has accurate info,or it is not accurate enough to you!--99.177.248.92 (talk) 16:08, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
