==Notability of [[:Francis Frangipane]]== |
|||
[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|left|48px|]]<!-- use [[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|48px|]] for YELLOW flag --> A tag has been placed on [[:Francis Frangipane]] requesting that it be [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedily deleted]] from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]]. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the [[WP:Your first article|guide to writing your first article]]. |
|||
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to the top of the article ('''just below''' the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Francis Frangipane|the article's talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines. |
|||
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|for biographies]], [[WP:WEB|for web sites]], [[WP:BAND|for bands]], or [[WP:CORP|for companies]]. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.<!-- Template:Nn-warn --> [[User:PamD|PamD]] ([[User talk:PamD|talk]]) 19:27, 22 December 2008 (UTC) |

== George Hardy == |
|||
Hello Orlady, Thank you for writing to me. I am sorry that I re-entered an edit on your post about George Hardy's life. I did this before seeing your letter to me. So when you see that again, I just want to let you know that it is perfectly fine with me if you will delete my entry. BTW George Hardy was a great labor leader, and I am so glad to have been able to read your wonderful post about him. I didn't really know George Hardy very well personally, but I did have the opportunity to meet him. |

== DYK for Dos Pilas - query == |
|||
Hi Orlady |
|||
A day or two ago you moved the hook for my 5x expansion of the [[Dos Pilas]] article to the next update, and from what I can see on the article talk page, Dos Pilas appeared on the Main Page on 28th December. I'm not sure who did the actual update but no acknowledgement appeared on my own talk page. Any idea how I can get this? |

So... the organization should be mentioned in the article... but we should not tell people what it IS? I think it is clear that either we should tell them, or not tell them. What am I missing?

Hi Orlady, just a quick question. I just noticed that for some reason the article [[Jacob Apelbaum]] that I wrote (I think you re-directed it to the proper name) has disappeared from Google.

Actually, since it was demolished, it actually is not in TN or any other place. But more importantly, it is not on the NRHP anymore, thus cannot be in that category. And since it is already in another TN category, complete removal of the category without adding another is appropriate.

== Doakes Creek Dam == |
|||
Orlady: |
|||
The [[Template:Tennessee_Valley_Authority_Facilities|TVA template]] lists the Doakes Creek Dam as a hydroelectric generating station. Is this correct? TVA's Norris report (published 1940) says this dam is {{convert|30|ft|m}} high (which seems puny by hydro plant standards) and built as a side project to impound a fish hatchery. [[User:Bms4880|Bms4880]] ([[User talk:Bms4880|talk]]) 00:14, 10 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:No, it's not a power plant, just a dam. I have a vague recollection of having heard of it, but until you asked the question I knew nothing about it. I found a [http://www.tva.gov/abouttva/pdf/tennessee.pdf fact-filled TVA fact sheet] that says: "TVA maintains the structural, seismic, and hydrologic integrity of 19 hydroelectric dams, 13 non-power dams, two small overflow detention dams at John Sevier Fossil Plant on the Holston River and Doakes Creek on Norris Reservoir, and one pumped-storage plant near Chattanooga." It does not belong in the template, IMO. --[[User:Orlady|Orlady]] ([[User talk:Orlady#top|talk]]) 00:42, 10 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
::I removed Doakes and JS. There are probably a few non-hydro dams remaining in the template, since it lists 47 hydroelectric stations. I haven't seen the Doakes Dam in many years. I remember that it looked like a rock quarry. [[User:Bms4880|Bms4880]] ([[User talk:Bms4880|talk]]) 22:48, 10 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:::Don't worry about the numbers. That fact sheet is only about TVA facilities in Tennessee. However, I do know that there are several very large non-power dams in the TVA system, including dams like Nolichucky that formerly had electric generation but are no longer used for that purpose. It probably would be better if the template had different terminology. --[[User:Orlady|Orlady]] ([[User talk:Orlady#top|talk]]) 23:14, 10 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
::::That'll work. I re-added John Sevier (I've never seen it, but it's on the main Holston channel, so I'm guessing it's substantial). [[User:Bms4880|Bms4880]] ([[User talk:Bms4880|talk]]) 00:45, 11 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:::::After perusing the TVA website, I don't think that either of these overflow detention dams is worth mentioning on the template. If the dam at John Sevier Fossil Plant is for "overflow detention," you can be sure that it's not a dam on the main channel of the Holston River. --[[User:Orlady|Orlady]] ([[User talk:Orlady#top|talk]]) 13:57, 11 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
::::::Hmmm...I don't know, Orlady. I think I'm going to stick with main channel. Observe: [http://www.topoquest.com/map.php?lat=36.38136&lon=-82.96603&datum=nad83&zoom=8&map=auto&coord=d&mode=pan&size=l N36.38136 W82.96603]. Adding JS or not isn't a big deal, but we should probably have a standard to decide which non-generating dams are worthy of mention, or someone will eventually try to add the Dandridge dike and whatnot. [[User:Bms4880|Bms4880]] ([[User talk:Bms4880|talk]]) 21:57, 11 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:::::::I dunno. That topo shows just an 8-ft difference in water elevation above and below that structure -- some of which may be just be attributable to the slope of the river. It's kind of like a slightly higher part of Cherokee Lake. Is that any more significant than the small dam-like structure downriver from Norris Dam? (See http://wikimapia.org/#lat=36.2097104&lon=-84.0753329&z=18&l=0&m=a&v=2&search=norris%2C%20tn and http://www.topoquest.com/map.php?lat=36.21026&lon=-84.07373&datum=nad83&zoom=4&map=auto&coord=d&mode=pan&size=l -- hmm, that thing isn't Doakes Creek Dam, is it?) Minor dam-like structures like these aren't all that uncommon, and it's difficult to imagine them becoming subjects for separate encyclopedia articles. I think the one at John Sevier Fossil Plant would be covered as part of the power plant article, and the one below Norris Dam (which exists mostly to aerate the water) would be covered (if it is covered at all) as part of the dam article.--[[User:Orlady|Orlady]] ([[User talk:Orlady#top|talk]]) 23:10, 11 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
The Doakes Creek Dam is way out past LaFollette, and its creek feeds into Norris Lake. I'm not sure if the Hibbs Island structure has a name, but I'm glad you pointed it out, since it means an edit I recently made to Norris Dam is incorrect. |
|||
I guess the main difference between JS and Doakes Creek and the little Hibbs Island structure is that the former two are built to retain a reservoir. For Doakes Creek it was (originally) to form a fish hatchery. I'm not sure of the purpose of the JS dam's pool— it might be used to skim out cold water (the Kingston plant's report said they were going to build a dam to trap cold water, but concocted some sort of "skimmer wall" apparatus instead). Nevertheless, I agree that dams such as these are best omitted from the template and covered as part of their parent projects' articles.
