Iris Chacón

Iris Belia Chacón Tapia (born March 7, 1950) is a Puerto Rican dancer, singer, actress, and entertainer.

Known as "La Bomba de Puerto Rico" and "La Vedette de América," Chacón was a prominent figure in Latin America, the United States, Europe, and Japan during the 1970s and early 1980s. She starred in films, telenovelas, and appeared in one of Puerto Rico's most famous TV commercials.

Career
Chacón has been known by various nicknames, such as "La Bomba de Puerto Rico" (The Puerto Rican Bombshell), and "La Vedette de América" (America's Showgirl). During her heyday in the 1970s and early 1980s, she toured most of Latin America, the United States, Europe and Japan. She also starred in two movies and many telenovelas, such as Yo Sé Que Mentía.

Amalie Oíl commercial
In 1982, AMCAR, Inc. hired her for a television commercial about Amalie Oil Company automobile coolant products, which became one of the most famous television commercials in Puerto Rico's history. The publicity surrounding the commercial landed her in a front-page article in The Wall Street Journal in June 1983 entitled "A Onetime Choirgirl Rules as Sex Goddess On Puerto Rican TV". The ad employed a play on words between the English word coolant and Spanish culón, which means large derrière (buttocks).

Mid-1980s to present
From 1984 through the early 1990s, Iris Chacón appeared on such American TV shows as America Onstage, The Joan Rivers Show, The Merv Griffin Show, Geraldo Rivera Show, and David Letterman. Letterman described her as the Dolly Parton and Loni Anderson of Puerto Rico and joked about proposing to her. Griffin said of her that "she was the answer to 'Where's the beef?'", a reference to the Wendy's commercial of that time period. However, by 1984, Chacón reached her peak, and not being able to reach an "Anglo" market, ended her show in Puerto Rico by mid-1985 at the age of 35. Her show aired in syndication until the end of the 1980s.

Outside of the U.S., Chacón appeared on various Spanish-language programs, including Anabel, Siempre en Domingo, Mala Noche No, and Al Ritmo de la Noche which were all Televisa productions.

Personal life
Chacón has been married to Puerto Rican musician Junno Faria since 1977. They are the parents of a daughter, Katiria. Chacón divides her time between residences in Orlando and Puerto Rico.

In popular culture
George Pérez, co-creator of The New Teen Titans, along with writer Marv Wolfman, has cited Chacón as an inspiration (along with Red Sonja) for the creation of Starfire, as told by George himself during an interview to Vu Nguyen during the 2019 Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con.

In June 2023, Puerto Rican drag queen Jessica Wild impersonated Iris during the "Snatch Game of Love" challenge on the fifth episode of the eight season of the reality competition series RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars.

Iris is the subject of two songs written about her: "Iris Chacon" that appears on Buster Pointdexter's (the alter ego of actor/singer David Johansen) 1997 album "Buster's Spanish Rocketship"  and "Iris Chacon" a Latin trap single released by Puerto Rican rapper Jon Z in 2020.

Original name of county?
Was the county really named for Andrew Jackson (then just 34 years old) when it was first established in 1801? Did it have a different original name? —Orlady (talk) 01:07, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I can't find a single source that states otherwise, at least on the web. The TEHC article says it was founded in 1801 and named after Andrew Jackson (although the author erroneously states that Jackson County, Georgia was also named for Andrew Jackson).  Jackson was very popular with certain statewide political factions as early as the 1790s.  Bms4880 (talk) 04:05, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Cities and towns and unincorporated communities
Mountain City, Tennessee is the only incorporated municipality in the county. It seems excessive to have a "Cities and towns" sections that only lists Mountain City. Unincorporated places fully or partially in the county include Shady Valley, Tennessee (currently listed under Cities and towns), the recently added Zionville, North Carolina, Butler, Tennessee, Laurel Bloomery, Tennessee, and Trade, Tennessee. Why not list them all under "Cities and towns" but indicate parenthetically which ones are not incorporated? --orlady 21:29, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Knox County, Tennessee

POV Issues With Government Section
This section needs a re-write to deal with POV issues. Sidatio 21:54, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, this entire article needs a fair amount of work. I'll start on what I can this week. Sidatio 22:06, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

To those of you who are editing this article as a result of the News-Sentinel online article this week:

Don't get me wrong - I live in Knox County and I'm just as upset about the aftermath of Black Wednesday as some of you might be. However, coming over to this article and going on a slanted POV rant WILL NOT SOLVE ANYTHING. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia - not a blog or forum. If you are looking for a place to discuss these issues, I suggest you find one of the latter. If any of you want to help me build a better KC article from a neutral point of view, you're more than welcome to do so. Thank you. Sidatio 09:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

 * After those edits, I think it looks ok. It's all sourced. I'm going to take off the tag. --AW 14:31, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I know this is going to be a point of contention, but there's still POV issues. For example:

 * In 1994, Knox County voters overwhelmingly passed term limits on Knox County officeholders... - Do we have a source for the voting record that we can link or quote? What, exactly, is "overwhelming"? 60%? 80%? I think it would be much better if we gave a solid figure if possible, instead of having this word.

 * For thirteen years, these officeholders ignored the term limits. - Whether they ignored it, fought it, or didn't know about it is irrelevant for information purposes. Maybe in a separate article dealing with the issue specifically, but I don't think it's a very informative fit here.

 * ...but not in what many observers in Knoxville considered a forthright, public process. - Even if we had a source for this, I don't see it fitting here. Again, we're trying to inform about the government in general, not one controversy in particular. That would be better dealt with on its own article, if one can be written well enough to merit it.

 * When the commissioners were deadlocked, they recessed out of view of voters in violation of the Tennessee Open Meetings Law, where they proceeded to strong-arm commissioners to change their votes. - To my knowledge, the commission hasn't been found in violation of the TOML yet. If they have, we need a source.

 * Most of the section about the 1/31/07 meeting needs a re-write, particularly The commissioners swore in one of the newly appointed commissioners, but not the other six newly appointed commissioners, to break a deadlock vote. (source), Commissioner Craig Leuthold's father, Frank, was appointed to represent the same district. (what district?) Commissioner Mark Cawood succeeded in getting other commissioners to vote for his wife to replace him. (source), Two days after the appointment, it was revealed that Josh Jordan was an admitted drug dealer. (We need to note that this happened in 1992, when he was a teenager. Semantic, maybe, but as it reads, one might assume that he is a recent or current drug dealer.) Actually, ALL of this would be better suited on its own Wikipedia page, in my opinion.

Bottom line, the article still shows a slanted POV. I'll be the first to say that I believe shady dealings went down (and still do) during that meeting, but it's best discussed elsewhere. We still need to work on this article and make it more informative and encyclopedic. Until then, I restored the POV tag. I'm working on the re-write - I will post progress to my website here. [] It might take a day or two for me to get the page up. Feel free to email suggestions to comments(at)sidatio.com. Sidatio 14:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strike that - I'm just re-writing on the fly. Feel free to contribute! Sidatio 15:01, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

 * We have a problem with two of our sources - one is broken ("Backroom Deals", source for 1 and 2) and the other is an opinion piece (5). The former needs to be repaired; the latter really isn't good for an information article as it inherently has a slanted POV and isn't really an information piece. I've removed it and the quotation it referenced. Sidatio 15:02, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it's fine to have the opinion piece though, as it gives people's opinions of the scandal. It wasn't a letter to the editor, it was a News-Sentinel writer. I think it should be noted as such though. --AW 15:29, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I also fixed some of your issues. --AW 15:32, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

 * It's a good start, but this article's got a long way to go - there's much more to Knox County than its geography and Black Wednesday, right? Oh, and the sources for 1 and 2 are still broken - the link goes straight to the News-Sentinel front page. We'll get it fixed, though! Sidatio 15:43, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Good point. I added a bit on the structure of the government, but definitely. Some more history, geography, etc would be good. --AW 17:41, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Added Reassess tag. This article needs a fair amount of expansion - I don't think this is a B-Class just yet. It seems to be closer to Start Class to me. Anyone else? Sidatio 16:01, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * This page actually has the facts pretty much as they happened. I watched the whole thing play out since I live here in Knox County and this is the way it happened.talidapali 18:56, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I live here too, but Black Wednesday isn't what Knox County is all about. It's one of the events that happened here and deserves to be mentioned, but it's threatening to take over the entire article. Plus, there's POV issues that have to be addressed with that piece in particular. We can guess what went down, and we can report on the editorials the News-Sentinel wrote about it, but it's not a neutral point of view and assumes WAY too much. It's simply not encyclopedic to leave it as it presently stands.

 * Also, as far as watching "the whole thing play out" - you could be a commissioner who actually took part in the meetings and it still wouldn't matter. We have to go with what is verifiable. Sidatio 19:42, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Changed the name of the section dealing with government controversies to "County government controversies" instead of "law and government". The section really doesn't talk about government in and of itself, but rather controversy surrounding one or two issues in government.Nf utvol 22:35, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree with concerns about POV, and also think too much emphasis on current or recent events like this turns the encyclopedia article into journalism. It needs more context and perspective.--Parkwells 18:11, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Added more background, context, and sources. Given citizen response to the issue and the fact that amendments to county law are being discussed, there's a likelihood that these controversies will have historical value as catalysts. 68.155.23.206 19:38, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Violation of WP:UNDUE
If no one has any objections, I'll be getting rid of the entire government controversies section. It clearly violates WP:UNDUE, and appears to be more of a journalistic endeavor than material suitable for an encyclopedia article. Bms4880 (talk) 21:55, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * No issues here. Maybe it'd be useful to have a brief synopsis of the controversy? nf utvol (talk) 02:58, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Probably not on this particular article, but a separate Wikipedia article covering Knox County government might be a good topic for discussion. Sidatio (talk) 14:01, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

History
Why isn't there anything on the antebellum years? Reconstruction, or 20th century changes to economy? I've noticed this in other places. At the state levels, too, there is a tendency to jump from founding to the Civil War, where many people like to write about the battles. There was much else going on in society that influenced the aftermath of the war. Since people in EAst TN did subsistence farming, how long were they able to support themselves on that? When did industry start? These are elements that should be included. --Parkwells 18:09, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I think the issue is either a lack of sourceable material, or a lack of people to read the books in which that material would be sourced. 68.155.23.206 19:35, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Courthouse photograph
I'm wondering if we should use a photograph of the City-County building instead of the Knox County Courthouse. The City-County building is now technically the courthouse. Bms4880 (talk) 16:13, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Police killings
I'm reinstating my edits to the KSCO Killings section since the section is NOT news as the activities in question are 1 and 3 years old and the tone I used is factual and neutral. All my assertions are backed by reliable local sources and the same sort of information about historical police killings is recorded elsewhere on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EastTNPoliceStories (talk • contribs) 15:56, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , first off, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. please stop, read more on the wikipedia polices like WP:NEWS. and WP:NPOV. and if you have any further questions, ask on the WP:TEAHOUSE.  LakesideMiners Come Talk To Me! 17:13, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * First off, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS explicitly states "This essay is not a standard reply that can be hurled against anyone you disagree with who has made a reference to how something is done somewhere else." You can't just post a link to justify your reasoning against mine. The "Other Stuff" I'm referring to is a hundred+ page series of notable killings for multiple countries with individual pages by year and month for the US. This is not some one-off article I'm referring to. It's a curated format. Also, here's another important note from right on the top of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. "This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints." Your reference to a Wikipedia guidance page, WP:NEWS, is just as lazy. You meant to link WP:NOTNEWS. And again, I see nothing in that guidance page that says listing the details of the history of a government organization is a violation of policy. I am not posting original reporting, or breaking updates, or extensive biographical details, or excessive details about the events. Thirdly, WP:NPOV is policy page with over a dozen subheadings. One line of bad POV was pointed out, and thank you for that, but the remaining satisfies all requirements for neutral tone as I read them. If you have a specific qualm, please point that out.

 * What you are adding IS news. and other stuff exists fits,because just because its on one page for a county, dosnt mean it is ment to be placed on EVERY page. what you are putting on the page here. should be on the list of police killings. NOT here. STOP your editing, and ask for help at the teahouse. Oshwah should be here to help you, as I have left a note on his talk page.

 * You seemd to be getting angry and losing your edge on grammar, syntax, and formatting. Your opinions are yours to hold, but I maintain this information is not news. It's history and it's germane to the article in question. Also, I did not link another county, but a disambiguation page for multiple countries, which will eventually lead you to the page for the US by month. Are you suggestion I should simply link from this page to the list of killings page for relevant entries? I could make a list or table here and link to there. I find that an acceptable compromise.

Population in 2000
Clealy, the population of Lake County was not 203,798 in 2000.

This is a small, rural county.

According to the Official 2007 Transportaion Map for Tennessee, the population in 2006 was 7,954.

Incorrect conversions of sq mi to sq km
So for some reason, the area for the county (571 sq mi) is shown to be 1480 sq km, and the land area of 570 sq mi is shown as 1500 sq km, which is an area equivalent to 580 sq mi.

Talk:Loudon County, Tennessee

Invasion of 1943
I removed this section, which is pretty funny. Unfortunately it's not true:

Little known outside of the area of Loudon, Tennessee is an incident where the Nazi army invaded the small American town in an attempt to seize large amounts of the advanced technology of Atlantis. Adolf Hitler theorized that Atlantis had in fact sunk underground where Loudon was built on top of.

General Stephen Douglas, who also ran for the presidency under the Democratic ticket, commanded Allied forces while Felix the Cat, a cartoon character of the 1920s, headed the Nazi army.

When the town was faced with the blitzkrieg, panic erupted amongst the startled townspeople, mostly consisting of white Baptists and some niggers. As the Luftwaffe bombarded local churches and bars, General Douglas summoned the power of Godzilla, who easily swatted the planes from the air. As Godzilla's attempts to stop the Nazis proved to be fruitful, local folklore says the Felix the Cat screamed "BRIDENKREUGMENTARGENZ." Loudonians have sinced named a street accordingly in a mainly Hispanic neighborhood.

However, the Nazis exposed Godzilla's weakness as being blues music. They imported a famous Scottish blues singer, Smitty McWetBiscuits, who graciously wailed on a nearby church organ. Godzilla exploded in sound waves which secured the fact that all Loudonians contract testicular cancer (even in females) for the next four centuries. McWetBiscuits' gracious wailing was ended abruptly by Bruce Lee who just demanded plainly that he stop.

The battle ensued for over three months, the forces of Imperial Japan, Fascist Italy, Great Britain, and the USSR even being included in it. The battle ended when Jesus Christ emerged from the Heavens with the ancient Atlantian technology in hand. He forced each of the armies to their respective countries with a quirking of the brow and then erased everyone's memory with the help of an android Bigfoot nearby. This story is also told in Dietetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, the Book of Mormon, and by indigenous Indian tribes in South Africa.

Removed allegations against county sheriff and other government officials
I have removed a large amount of content from this article in accordance with WP:IINFO and WP:BLP. To summarize some of the principal reasons for deletion (there are others, but these should suffice):
 * Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Blow-by-blow recounting of events such as the following deleted passage is clearly "indiscriminate collection of information":
 * George made several public statements about Spring Hill such as -

 * "I see where we stand on this thing,"
 * "They're not supporting the charity program for the rodeo, even though they have an elementary school inside of Spring Hill that is due to benefit from this."
 * In regard to the ordeal George said "Bottoms informed me that I should turn the other cheek, so I guess that's what I'll do."
 * Furthermore, incidents of misconduct by high school football players, violations of local sign ordinances, and people shooting the neighbor's dog seldom are sufficiently notable to be mentioned in an encyclopedia, much less described in "he said, she said" detail.

 * Wikipedia is not a bulletin board or soapbox. Local residents who are outraged at the county sheriff and other local officials may consider their bills of particulars to be important information, but Wikipedia is not the place to tell the world about your issues.
 * Wikipedia must be very careful about publishing potentially defamatory information about living persons. This means, in part, that negative information must be thoroughly supported by reliable sources (note among other things that incorrect dates are given for the local news articles cited here) and there must not be undue emphasis on negative information. Content such as the following excerpt is unlikely ever to be includable: "S became enraged and struck K multiple times, pummeling him into the ground. City Manager RG broke the fight up by putting S into a headlock and helling 'get off of him, you stupid son of a bitch'."
 * Wikipedia must have a neutral point of view.

Sections I removed had the following headings:
 * Sexual Battery at Spring Hill High School Overlooked in 2004
 * Sheriff threatens a suit against the City of Spring Hill in 2004
 * Sheriff George Shoots Neighbors Dog in 2005
 * Sheriff Accused of violating civil rights in 2005
 * Sheriff George Denies deputy of a leave of absence in 2006
 * Mt. Pleasant Commissioner Assaulted at Meeting in 2008

At the very most, it might be appropriate for this article to include a sentence or two about local controversy regarding government misconduct, but that content will need to come from a third-party source describing the controversy. --Orlady (talk) 14:43, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Too many officials listed
Listing all the appointed department heads almost guarantees that this list will likely be out of date most of the time; this is a very long list for a county-level government. At least council members are elected for a term; political appointees generally have shorter terms than politicians.

"No Pay, No Spray"
I removed the following text from the article because I think it is current news that does not belong in an encyclopedia article about this county (especially not as one of the few pieces of information in the article):

 * A September 29th house fire in rural Obion county gained national attention during the 2010 midterm US elections. The "No pay, no spray" refers to when a local man's house caught fire and the local firefighter refused to extinguish the blaze. The man had failed to pay an annual $75 fire protection fee in addition to the local property taxes. The fire trucks arrived to the scene to ensure the neighbor's property, who was complete on his county fees, remained undamaged. The local firefighters refused to fight the fire, even when offered compensation.

 * This led to a national discussion on the health of local communities in the United States, as well as conservative ideology in the United States.

In particular, note that online comments about a news article are not a reliable source for a statement that "this led to a national discussion.." --Orlady (talk) 04:18, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

 * The Cranick case is probably more national coverage than the county government has received in many years... AnonMoos (talk) 17:54, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

 * It's a major geographical feature of Rutherford County, occupying a significant area. Seems appropriate that, until a prose section is written (if even necessary, since it has its own article), it can safely and appropriately occupy the position in the list that is already there. Lists of cities, towns and municipalities are pretty common features of county articles, and as an interim solution, it seems a reasonable place for the battlefield link. — Huntster (t @ c) 12:10, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure even the University of Tennessee is able to be "almost certain" about demographic events in a US county 30 years in the future.

Mosque conflict
The local conflict over the Muslim mosque (2000-2017, particularly 2012), is not simply a local event. It was a major news event -- a national issue, debated in newspapers and on national television and talk radio for years -- that brought intense global interest (especially among Muslim nations), and played heavily into the national anti-Muslim movement that culminated in the election of Donald Trump.

Hence, it is important to note that scale of interest and significance beyond the locality. The references I'm citing (and I'm not done, yet) will make that clear.

I'll attempt to (again) tidy up some of the redundant language, if you'll give me an hour or so to finish up, please.

State of Scott dispute
As a former resident and historian of Scott County I tend to disagree with the with the effort of the author to make it appear that Scott County's separation was some little known oversight by county officials which was corrected immediately after discovery, not only were the citizens of Scott County proud of their independence they fought the Union and the Confederate army to keep it. You need refer no further than county archives and newspapers through out the years to discover that the matter of petitioning the state for reentry came up several times over the course of a hundred years by the town council and was voted down, the matter at one point was so heatedly debated that fist fights broke out among political and community leaders several times throughout history. You can refer to Church record throughout the county and confirm that many communities voted in their respective churches on the matter, and you need to look no further than the county cemeteries to discover that many a soldier have the tombstone inscribed with "East Tennessee" referring to the East Tennessee militia which these soldiers proudly fought for. Also it wasn’t referred to as the Independent State of Scott it was originally called The East Tennessee Assembly or Alliance.

Grand Division
Does anyone know the reason why Sequatchie County is a part of Middle Tennessee, but the counties immediately to the North and to the South of it, Bledshoe and Marion, are part of East Tennessee? That Grand Division border, officially defined by law, is very strange. Inkan1969 (talk) 15:17, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Sequatchie and Marion were moved to Middle in the 1930s, and Marion moved back to East in the 1950s. I'm not sure of the reasons, but every few decades, the Grand Divisions are realigned.  Cumberland has been part of both Middle and East, as well, and some counties south of Nashville have been part of both Middle and West.  Note these codified definitions generally only affect the consistency of the state supreme court.  Geographically, Sequatchie is part of East TN. BrineStans (talk) 17:48, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Mob justice for elephants?
The only reason this place is known outside of America is when a mob of 2,500 local peasants chanted 'Let's kill the elephant!' after 'Murderous Mary' threw a hobo off her back who hooked her mouth with a metal hook with where she had an infected tooth - after being shot five times by an onlooker who took it upon himself to randomly shoot the animal and later shipped by rail the next day to be hung by chains from the neck twice (after the circus owner decided a 'public execution' was the only way to please the township's leaders who claimed the circus could never return otherwise), the animal was left to die hanging from a 100t railway derrick.

According to that (*very* secondhand) source, more than 200% of the county's residents are Southern Baptist. Some kind of update or correction is definitely in order. I'm not even sure whether this detail is relevant to the article. (It seems to be the only demographic detail that's broken out, *and* it only focuses on one type of religious affiliation). If it is relevant enough to keep, it at least needs a more plausible source.

Yert!
Is this vandalism? What is the deal with this? I don't see much on google about it, but there are a few people who come up both saying they are from white county and saying "Yert!" Is this a local fad for youth or a true slang term?

If it is true, it needs to be more clearly labelled in the text. Tfine80 00:23, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I will certainly verify that, as a native White Countian, the word "yert" is a common expression used among all ages of people here. They say that if you go anywhere in the world, and you hear "yert", you instantly know that another White Countian is near.

 * My grandfather used to tell us the tale (not sure if it is true or not) that during World War II he was walking on a dock in San Diego towards his Coast Guard ship. He heard somebody yelling "yert!" at the top of their lungs. He looked around and soon discovered a man standing on the deck of a nearby vessel who he had attended high school with.

 * And I'll do my best to clean up the mention a bit. Danthemankhan 19:30, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

 * That's a great story. Very interesting! Tfine80 21:45, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

if you aint from around here..
then Yert! don't make no sense. Yert! has been around for many generations. My grandmother remembers saying it when she was a kid back in the 30's. not sure of the origin people in surrounding counties don't get it either... it's unique to White County, very unique. It's not limited to youth either... it can even be heard in the City and County meetings as people arrive, local barber shop, diners, in traffic, etc.

question/correction
where in the heck did William Wrigley Jr. - chewing gum industrialist come from on the White County page??? I can find no record of any wrigley ever mentioned in White County. Anybody got info on this??? may be bogus...
 * William Wrigley Jr. had a summer house up on Bon Air Mountain before World War II. He spent quite a lot of time there (so the story goes) and the County named a road up there Spearmint Lane after him. Presumably the one he had his house on. He also donated money to the local school to build a baseball field (which no longer exists). His family also built Wrigley Field in Chicago. Some interesting facts you might not have known. Danthemankhan(talk)Flag of the United States.svg 19:14, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

I guess it often depends on which name was used in the private act of the General Assembly that established the municipality. However, Doyle is a town, according to http://www.mtas.utk.edu/gml-mtas.nsf/f19bf7cad57611fc852570aa00711f03/3acb5494dba9028085256af7005eda43?OpenDocument --orlady 00:41, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
