Moved Larry Crim

He is a Democrat, not a Republican — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.121.156.18 (talk) 15:30, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I moved him back, the source states he is in the GOP primary this time. 331dot (talk) 15:38, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Grand Division

2020 United States presidential election in Tennessee#General election has the exact same thing that was added a while back ago. Why should this one be different if there is already a image? GatewayPolitics (talk) 20:38, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Glman if we can't reach an agreement, I feel like we should get more opinions GatewayPolitics (talk) 20:43, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be removed from the other article as well. What reason do you believe it warrants inclusion? It appears to be WP:OR, and the grand divisions are largely symbolic. They don't vote as a bloc. The talk page should attract more opinions, but I can ping the WikiProject. glman (talk) 20:46, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Citation for the election was provided. I had to add up the county results for the grand divisions. Yeah I think we should get a general consensus GatewayPolitics (talk) 20:48, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but doing that work is WP:OR. Regardless, why do you think it warrants inclusion? glman (talk) 20:50, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe so, I would add this citation instead which I would argue is not original research^[1] GatewayPolitics (talk) 20:53, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Glman if I were to add that citation would that be suitable? GatewayPolitics (talk) 20:58, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm interested in the reasoning for adding it to the article. Not all information is worthy of inclusion per WP:ONUS. glman (talk) 21:04, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It provides additional information and maybe will Peak interests of individuals about the grand divisions in tennessee. GatewayPolitics (talk) 21:05, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And a lot of people do like analyzing State results to the finest details, I see no harm in having this added in the article GatewayPolitics (talk) 21:05, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a database of all information, I just don't believe this info warrants inclusion on the Encyclopedia. I've mentioned this discussion over at the WikiProject. glman (talk) 21:33, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'm fine if that's the conclusion. I just thought that it would bring more data breakdown to the article and would benefit it GatewayPolitics (talk) 21:42, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
