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:

1. 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.
2. 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.

List of sheriffs of Daviess County, Kentucky (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

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

Fails WP:V as no sources seem to have researched this information before. The page, which has no citations, is likely a combination of synthesis and original research. The page further fails WP:N as Daviess County has a population of about 100,000; much larger places lack articles listing their sheriffs. Mad Mismagius (talk) 21:20, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as not meeting WP:GNG. This is verifiable official sheriff website, but does not receive significant coverage as a role in the county government that is not the head. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 21:29, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:LIST, and more importantly, WP:NOTWEBHOST. There is a very thin line between "that's an interesting list of trivia and your special interest is nice" and "this is stealing storage space from a charity that is under investigation from a Fascist regime."

Merge into WNKY. It’s a non-notable LPTV that’s better off going the way of WLHA-LD or KCWL-LD at best. (I copy&pasted this but it still works) --Danubeball

• Merge Sources do not establish notability. Also nashvilledtvnews.info is a user generated content site. I question all the other places it is used on WP

• Merge infobox and channel map, and technical details to WNKY Station existed as a license only by companies with no interest in actually broadcasting until 2019, when outside a little-watched 'TV on radio' simulcast that probably didn't even have WKCT as a viewer itself and someone plugging in the newspaper's daily YouTube video playlist into VLC to provide local news, it just carried a 'bouncing ball' mix of Antenna/MyNet and Biz TV content as a 'run for fun' station until Marquee bought it, professionalized it and programmed it as a WNKY extension. Not really a lot here and just a lot of fat (especially the details about WHAS 'interference', which if you know the rules of LPTV, it has to accept that interference no matter what anyways, and more care about Antenna TV's fate in the market than should be spent by an average person). A section about the technical details of WNKY-LD and WDNZ-LD is appropriate, but in a much reduced form. Nathannah • 📮 20:40, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge infobox and channel map, and technical details to WNKY King Forward is a group that has never built out a serious TV station, so most of its history has been under Marquee as a testing translator to make sure everything worked (the main WNKY is on UHF on the same tower so it just duplicated the station at a lower power during its tests), then as an extended sister station to carry Ion and Weigel networks, outside Defy I getting replaced with Ion Plus as expected when that change was made, though under the ownership of a competent broadcaster rather than all automated by Innovate/HC2. A section about the technical details of WNKY-LD and WDNZ-LD is appropriate, but in a much reduced form. Nathannah • 📮 20:31, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
