Talk:Prescott, Arizona

Firefighters
I took out this sentence: "The city rewarded the efforts of the fallen fire fighters by denying lifetime benefits to 13 of the 19 fire fighter's families., ," because it is extremely sarcastic and much too biased against the city (see WP:NPOV). I'm not totally opposed to having the controversy over benefits included in the article (though I'm not sure it's noteworthy enough), but can we at least do it in a way that treats the issue and both sides fairly instead of sarcastic attacks? 24.116.229.5 (talk) 06:52, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Notable residents
Under the "Notable residents" section, why don't you have the famous Lee Lozowick? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.83.234.76 (talk) 20:49, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry? The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

I cut the list of "movies made or partially made in Prescott". It is pasted below. Would more experienced editors please comment, explain or edit the page re this issue? This entry, at least in its present form, had a strongly negative impact on the reference value of the Prescott, Arizona page. It significantly lengthened the page, and created an impression that Prescott's major point of interest is that movies 'or parts of movies' are filmed here. This is untrue. I think the author of this section could make a separate page, and link to it from the Prescott page.

"Prescott has been a favorite of movie-makers over the years. The movies Junior Bonner and Billy Jack were filmed in Prescott at the Palace Hotel, Courthouse Square and surrounding areas. A 1994 remake of The Getaway was partially filmed in Prescott at locations such as Watson Lake and many of the downtown area streets. Other films that were made in Prescott - or partially in Prescott - and the year they were made are:" TV shows made in Prescott (Whole or partial) are: Living a Lie (1991) (TV) Harts of the West (1993) (TV) Cutty Whitman (1996) (TV)

As a native of Arizona, I can tell you that Prescott's common pronunciation is PRES-kot and not pres-KOT. User:70.59.251.167 has reverted my correction. If you have any objections please voice them here before reverting again. -- Barfooz (talk)  07:07, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Actually, as yet another proud native of Prescott, there are two pronunciations of the name. PRES-kot, and PRES-kit. Most people I know use the latter, but both are common and in my opinion neither are wrong. -- Nautafoeda (talk)

We always called it PRES-kit, rhymes with biscuit. As in "going into the biscuit for beer, be back in an hour". As in (this is what I have always heard): "Preskit, like biscuit, because its as white as a baking powder biscuit." That is the only bad thing about Prescott, that there is so little diversity. --Laurel 17:21, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

When confronted, real estate agents will admit that PresKITT is a common selling ploy they use to encourage that "hometown" feeling. Melissa Ruffner, town historian, researched the proper pronunciation and tracked down the family of William Hickling Prescott. She found them in Chicago and asked them how their family name was pronounced. They stated it was PresKITT. However, the word comes from a Gaelic word meaning priests cottage and in Gaelic, it would be pronounced Presskot following the Gaelic way. The family of William Hickling had changed their name once moving in the new area, had they known how to properly pronounce Presscott then the confusion would be cleared up. So now you know the FACTS behind the pronunciations. Prescott Native born and raised.

It's obvious that - as you've pointed out - we both feel we're right and that will not change. You can visit your Arizona discussion forums and continue to perpetuate your unsubstantiated claims from your desk in Columbus, Ohio or Thunder Bay, Ontario or wherever the hell it is you're from - but I am through debating you, jughead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.59.205.118 (talk) 15:20, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Well you started your response on a good note but then ended in slander and name calling. Disappointing. Good day. I don't know where all you guys ae coming from but after living in the Prescott, Arizona area for nearly 50 years I find that the common local pronounciation of Prescott is PRES-kut with a soft sound to the "Kut" PJD —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.19.11.31 (talk) 00:34, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Minor query where's Arizona? Okay seems a silly question but I am a new contributor and I was looking to see if two authors in the same state were near one another and the maps given appear to list different states http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Pima_County_Incorporated_and_Unincorporated_areas_Tucson_highlighted.svg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Yavapai_County_incorporated_areas_Prescott_highlighted.svg

Perhaps someone more familiar with Wikipedia or American Geography can explain/fix the problem Visitor2000 17:49, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Those links are to counties in Arizona, not the entire state. The Arizona link is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona. You can see the counties on one map at the state's official website, here: http://az.gov/webapp/portal/displaycontent.jsp?name=county --Laurel 17:19, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Photo "Prescott Gurley Street in 1918"? Looking at the cars, it should be 1948. -- DesertSteve 02:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Whiskey row runs between E. Goodwin and Gurley? Actually it's the first block of W. Goodwin which divides at Cortez. I recommend removing the direction altogether for consistency. Rijkstra 16:01, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

This is not correct. Whiskey Row is one block of Montezuma Street-the block between Gurley and Goodwin. City street signs say "Whiskey Row" for that one block. I have asked the city manager to provide "official" information. --Laurel 17:19, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

You misunderstood and what we both stated is correct. My comment deals only with the erroneous E./W. designation of Goodwin St. not that Goodwin street is Whiskey Row.Rijkstra 18:22, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Oops--sorry! Upon rereading, I see that you wrote clearly; I read sloppily. --Laurel 06:34, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Quad Cities/Communities?
I don't have the statistics to edit the entry myself, but could the "Tri-Cities" reference possibly be updated to "Quad Cities" or whatever they are calling it with the inclusion of Dewey-Humboldt? Sreneec (talk) 04:27, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Dewey-Humbolt used to be Dewey and Humbolt as seperate towns and that area was referred to as Dewey-Humbolt-Mayer. At that time, Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Chino Valley were known as the Tri-City area with many business called Tri-City this-and-that. Then Prescott Valley tried to Annex Dewey and the residents didn't want their kids in that school zone, so they united with Humbolt and forced the Quad-City idea. Dewey and Humbolt are out past the Prescott Country Club and Quailwood Meadows which have more people in it, and Dewey-Humbolt is equal-distant between Prescott Valley and Mayer. Warthan — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.126.244.46 (talk) 18:09, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

sister cities?
I can not find any information about the cities listed in this article being "sister cities" of Prescott, AZ. Does anyone have any information about this?Mk5384 (talk) 16:51, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

This is mentioned on the City of Prescott website (http://www.sistercity-prescott.us/). Comwest (talk) 16:48, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

2009 Mayoral Election
I don't believe this section fits on this page. It seems like the mayor or someone added this for personal purposes. The rest of the page does not discuss specific elections and the mayor's plans for re-election the same way. I think it should be deleted or just included in the prior section, "Government". Would someone use their judgement on this? I live in Prescott so may not have an objective viewpoint. This is just how it struck me. Laurel 18:02, 18 January 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laurel (talk • contribs)

I agree that the 2009 Mayoral election is inappropriate. It is drilling down to a level of detail that is inappropriate. If we want a wiki page on Prescott mayoral elections, we can put it there. I just noticed it was myself who made the earlier note. I am going to take out that section; please let me know any reason to keep it.Laurel 17:41, 17 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laurel (talk • contribs)

Neighborhood descriptions
The entire paragraph starting with "While Prescott is known for its western and cowboy feel..." appears to be someone's opinion rather than any real facts about Prescott. At the very least, it is original information and there are no citations to support it. It should be removed. Thekithless (talk) 10:27, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Missing Notable residents
I'm not sure what qualifications are required to be listed among the other Notables, but I am very surprised that William Owen "Buckey" O'Neill is not included among them. There is a prominent statue dedicated to him in front of the Yavapai County Courthouse in Prescott and his own page on Wikipedia. He was a very colorful character, having been elected as a sheriff, and a judge in Yavapai County, Arizona, then unanimously Major of Prescott. He served honorably with Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders, dieing during the battle at Kettle Hill, Cuba. Is it just oversight that he is not included? Disciplyne (talk) 21:43, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

UNDER CULTURE
I do not know how to update the pages, but I'd like to point out two corrections/changes (I am a resident): Under golf courses in Prescott, Talking Rock is not mentioned, it should be as it IS a Prescott Address, albeit a bit further from "downtown". Also, the mention of the Gingerbread Village - its actually located at the Prescott Resort & Conference center free of charge (and yes the resort IS on Yavapai Prescott Indian Tribe land). So if someone can effect those changes, that would be great? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.62.97.10 (talk) 18:20, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Why is the pronunciation on the page "Press-cot" rather than the preferred local pronunciation of "Press-kit?" I see conversations below regarding this, but the conclusion that it should be the former is a poor one. William Prescott pronounced it "Press-kit." Regardless of the origin of the name or how his descendants might say it, the proper pronunciation is how Prescott himself said it. Stormkith (talk) 08:05, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree, and have edited the IPA pronunciation to reflect that. Captain Eek  Edits Ho Cap'n! 07:07, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * is far from "Press-cot" and the same as "Press-kit", at least for most Americans (Flemming & Johnson 2007:95). The vowel in cot is (equivalent to "ä" in Merriam-Webster and "ŏ" in AHD). Listen to samples on dictionary sites: . Nardog (talk) 15:19, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Yeah, the addition of that IPA entry came after my suggestion to change the pronunciation (which was listed as simple text at the time). I appreciate that you felt it was important to note that, but it came about 9 months after changes were already made. Stormkith (talk) 07:28, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

How
do we prevent someone from changing data that is patently wrong? The 2008 population figure is from a sign that has been erected as 'advertising' for the city and which was reported at the time to show the number of people who receive mail with Yuma, Az as the address line. I do not live inside the city limits and cannot vote for the mayor, I do not think I would be included in any 'real' census of the city. I see where the line had been previously removed but then someone put it back in.

Start class
In a manner of how "Others in the World", in this case AZ, the West, USA, ...etc. have a habit, of forcing their standards, and opinions upon others, I will offer this view:

 * The Yuma, Arizona page though not fully developed, (only "moderately"-developed) is without a doubt beyond: Start Class.

 * If I had my way, i would put it in "Uncategorized", and leave classifying, according to your wishes, styles, or manners, to others who are willing, by consensus to be classified, according to your standards.

This is obviously only my opinion, but the habit of Wiki-people (and Myself-included) is to do a function (in this case the Project-tag), and then rapidly move on. I am fully of the opinion that the Yuma, AZ page has some nice input, and presently "Well covers" some of the important "Defining-parts" of YUMA, Arizona. A note from the Sonoran-desert- of Yuma, Ariz..--Mmcannis 18:12, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

And fortunately "fully developed pages", are like rocks, and can not be easilly altered. There is plenty of possibilities, in many different directions, for this Rapidly expanding, evolving, region. Growth is occurring in every direction around Yuma, into the desert environments, agriculture, etc. And, if I had my way, Since hydrocarbon pollution in the wintertime, as well as particulate pollution, forever being a desert problem, I would try to defend the environment, and help protect the growth of the ecology of our Yuma region....

 * Hello! I'm from Yuma. The assessment scale isn't really an objective thing. There are criteria for each rating, and I would agree that the article as it stands is start-class.

 * On another note, this article could benefit from some recent pictures, rather than pictures from the 1800s. I might take some soon, if I can figure out what places would be good illustrations of the city. Does anyone have any ideas? Voretus 19:42, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Media Improvements
The media section needs improved. There is simply a list of TV, Radio & print media. Yuma is part of the Yuma-El Centro Media Market (All of Imperial Co, CA & Yuma Co, AZ), but there is no information about this here or on El Centro's page (which doesn't even contain a media section). While this is one of the smallest Television markets in the US, and not really warranting its own page, it does feature a full slate of network affiliates and should still be featured in an article somewhere on Wikipedia. Since most affiliates are located in Yuma, this would be the best place.

Talk:Gassville, Arkansas

February 5, 2008, the town of Gassville, Arkansas was hit by a severe tornado and virtually destroyed. Woodywoman (talk) 00:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I have added that the town was sealed off due to concerns over gas leaks causing an explosion risk. I can't figure out how to put the reference in, but the reference is : http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080206/ap_on_re_us/severe_weather Also, does anyone know any more about this town, in particular, it is rare for a town to be sealed off due to gas explosion risks... and the town is called Gassville... Is the town historically related to the gas industry? Perhaps the article could be expanded? Buckethed (talk) 06:04, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You're not the only one wondering... 210.229.27.185 (talk) 11:41, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

do some research at some stage to see if I can update the accuracy (it may be that they were just referring to the 'gas' station as they tend to be of flimsy construction so that probably did get damaged). Thank you for letting us know what happened - I hope your community has recovered! Buckethed (talk) 04:08, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I live in the town next to Gassville. It was not sealed off due to gas leaks after the tornado- it was sealed off because the tornado's path went right down the main (and only) road through town- there was no electricity, more storms possible, and lots of debris on the road, so they shut down the high way and you had to go a really long way around. No where near as bad as Yahoo seemed to think. Also- while there was horrific damage, the town was by no means virtually destroyed. Maybe half a dozen businesses were destroyed, and 30 or so houses, and 100 other buildings damaged. I will try to find the article in the local paper that covers the incident and cite that instead of the now dead Yahoo article that seems to have got so much wrong. And as far as I know the only reason Gassville is called Gassvillle is because it is a small town that developed at a crossroads where there happened to be a gas station. The only truly notable building in Gassville is Baxter County's first hospital, which has been used as the Baxter County Historical Museum up until about 2 years ago when it was condemned, now it just sits empty and sad. Nightenbelle (talk) 18:42, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The article still says closed off due to risk of gas explosion (on a more positive note it seems the town is alive and well which is good!). Will

Was this copied from a promotional brochure or something?
Although as far as I can tell this article hasn't been copied from another website, the rather non-neutral language used ("beautiful mountains", "award-winning golf courses" etc etc etc) in most of it makes it sound like it was written as an advertisement. The bulk of this article and its flowery text seem to have been added in huge swaths by one or two people, so it might be wise for somebody to proofread the entire thing and make it sound more factual and less like we're being pitched a timeshare. 4.226.111.233 01:34, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

No this was not copied from brochure. It is actually a work by a few people that have gathered info, both positive and negative, over the last year. The pictures I took myself and donated them to wikipedia. If you want to dispute something, feel free to change it and add your source. Until then lighten up on the criticism. The truth is that this is a "gorgeous" and "award-winning" golf and recreational village. 70.178.120.190 17:32, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

The term "award-winning" is indicative of objective and documented fact. The word "gorgeous", however, is rather subjective, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Without discrediting the work on the article thus far, it should be noted that the goal for this and other encyclopedia articles is to convey minimal to no opinion. — ArkansasTraveler 19:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I have just tried to clean it up a bit, and make it flow better (by moving around pictures and merging useful sections). I'll try to make it sound more neutral; I have removed some text such as a personal story about how someone stole road signs or something or other. It did have a sentence or two that admitted the writer was someone who spent a fond childhood growing up there, which I removed. It needs a lot of references in the 'Growth' section, and I'm not sure I'll have the time to look them all up. I'll do my best to clean it up further. kkarma 21:58, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I've noticed quite a few city articles that have the exact same headings, content, tone, etc, & I was wondering if they all came from brochures myself. This is especially irritating as I'm researching to find places in the Arkansas-Missouri area that were well-established prior to the Civil War, & it seems 4 out of 5 that I hit as likely prospects have absolutely nothing in them regarding their history....incl this one. I don't know how these articles are even considered C-class when one of the most important sections have been omitted. ScarletRibbons (talk) 05:40, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

As part of the cleanup process, the automated bot PocKleanBot has generated this notice as a focus of cleanup efforts, and also contacted several contributing editors of the article to bring their attention to the problem. You should use this section to discuss possible resolution of the problem and achieve consensus for action. Only when there is a consensus that the article is now cleaned up should you then de-list it by deleting the cleanup tag from the article, this causes the article to drop off the monthly cleanup-needed list page.

This article needs some work, but it looks pretty good as class "C"s go on the projects list. Contributors have obviously put some work into this. No inaccuracies jumped up with my first read (and I can check some things), and the photos are nice. I live in Rogers BTW and I am very familiar with Bella Vista.

Etymology
The article gives two namesakes for the town: Linn Boyd Benton and Thomas Hart Benton. Both are cited reliably. Does anyone know which one is actually correct? Or is no one certain? - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 05:46, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

How many buildings are in bentonville?
I have been researching and I can't seem to figure out how many total buildings are in Bentonville AR. That confuses me a little because I'm sure there are more people in Bentonville than buildings so how come we know the population of people and not buildings? Anyways, if anyone knows the answer and would like to share hansonr@bentonvillek12.org is my email or just add onto this! Thank you!

Here's a great news item about this town: Kingturtle (talk) 00:01, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * http://www.4029tv.com/news/14664847/detail.html

It is a good thing that was never added here. I think when we write the history section of Centerton, the wacky story of x-Mayor Ken Williams (aka Don LaRose) could possibly make a footnote in it. On it's own it is only a single old news item that is unfairly belittling to Centerton and should not be added to the town page until the entire article is written. The Don LaRose story might make a semi-interesting biography page if someone cared enough to write it, but I don't see that it is worth my time to research. Five years after the fact and few people around the area even remember the event. Just my two cents. --Traveler7 (talk) 09:32, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Centerton AR POLICE brutality and falsification of truly happened once I was severely brutally assaulted and arrested! It was 11/05/approximately, 3:00 PM CST when incident took place! A quite, unfriendly middle-aged woman was outside when I was checking our mail; leaning against our car in our driveway she continued to glare at me! My Husband of 29 years and I had a major disagreement that's when I went across the street to check out mail and COOL OFF GETTING FRESH AIR; UNFRIENDLY NEIGHBOR LOADING & UNLOADING HER COX CABLE TRUCK BEHAVING QUITE PECULIAR; SHE CONTINUED TO LOOK IN MY DIRECTION! I was JUST wondering what IT was TRULY she kept glaring as though she was doing something wrong! My Husband of 29 years and I were having a great disagreement about Our 23 year old Son; I stayed outside cooling off! Next thing I see were 2 Centerton Police Cruisers pulling up by our driveway! Police officers, especially Office Wallace, nor Ron Youssey communicated to myself when I asked what was GOING on! Officer Alex Wallace charged toward me as I was going in my house! HOWEVER, OFFICER WALLACE, FORCEFULLY SLAMMED ME FACE DOWN ON OUR DRIVEWAY! NEXT GAUGING ALL HIS 250 lb.or MORE down on to me gauging with extreme force into my post-surgical total right hip replacement done in '2010' causing unbearable pain; I was crying inconsolably screaming for my Husband to come outside, repeatedly since I was so hysterical; he never came out to see what was happening TO ME! Officer Yousey,was told to get long leather strap from cruiser! Next both officers were pouncing on me and wrapped quite tightly leather strap around my ankles together; causing me significant pain where Alex Wallace's overweight body pinned I was completely unable to move because of force of his strength and Officer Ron assisted Youssey in ever so tightly wrapping leather strap from my ankles to my knees! Next they picked me up and tossed me into Police cruiser! I was so frightened and bewildered; and bruised up where Officers brutally(Yes, I mean brutally! P.O. ALEX WALLACE THEN HANDCUFFED MY WRIST CRISSCROSSED SO PAINFULLY, ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY! I WAS TOSSED IN OFFICER WALLACE WHO TRANSFERRED ME TO BENTON COUNTY JAIL and ONCE AGAIN HE COMPLETELY MISCONSTRUED HIS CLAIM TO SALLY PORT OF JAIL SAYING I WAS OUT OF CONTROL and NEEDED ASSISTANCE TO GET ME OUT OF HIS CRUISER! I WAS IN NO WAY HOSTILE, BELIGERANT,NOR WAS I COMBATIVE WITH ANY ONE Of POLICE OFFICERS FROM CENTERTON TO BENTON COUNTY JAIL! SEVERAL OFFICERS GRABBED MY ANKLES and GRABBED MY ANKLES TOGETHER BEFORE YANKING ME OUT OF CAR SINCE STRAP ON MY LOWER LEGS and INHUMANELY TIGHTED HANDCUFFS! SINCE OFFICER WALLACE TOLD JAILERS I was combative and out of control; Once I was yanked out of car landing on MY back; Everyone of these POLICE officers should EXPERIENCE what they made me suffer! I am on SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY WITH EXTREMELY LOW INCOME IT'S NO LAUGHING MATTER!

Richard "Bigo" Barnett
There have been several attempts to add this individual to the list of Notable Persons from Gravette. These have been consistently reverted by editors who make claims regarding notability. However, these claims are plainly disproven by the fact of Barnett's inclusion in the primary page on the 2021 Storming of The US Capitol. Barnett's name has appeared on that page, without dispute, since at least January 7th 2021. Happy to begin dispute resolution should this edit be reverted again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnadams11 (talk • contribs) 17:00, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

The fact that editors determined that Barnett did not warrant his own page, is not evidence that he cannot be mentioned in other articles. Again, I point to his mention in the primary reference article on the January 6 riots. Johnadams11 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 01:18, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Inclusion in list of notables.
Recently, there has been an effort to include a non-notable person on the list of notables. The person was a participant in a notable event, but is himself not notable. The person has a connection to this article, but this article has no connection to the event. Attempts to create an article have failed, being rejected for insufficient notability per WP:BLP1E. If the person is not considered notable, and if the article in question (Gravette) doesn't have any other connection to the event, they do not magically become notable.Jacona (talk) 14:40, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Many thanks to Springnuts for the thoughtful reply. It is edifying to budding editors to understand the distinction between Notability, and Noteworthy. Too often, "Notability" is used as a blunt instrument. to reject otherwise reasonable ideas. To the instant matter, I would propose this standard for our discussion: Is Barnett noteworthy enough to be included in the list of noteworthies from Gravette? Importantly, this suggests a standard, not of noteworthiness generally, but of noteworthiness within the context of this particular list -- the very standard suggested by Springnuts: noteworthy. It stands to reason that a person noteworthy from Gravette, might not be noteworthy in Phoenix, etc. Today, arguably, with the exception of Jake Angeli, Barnett is the most prominent of the January 6th Rioters. And today, from a national, and even global perspective, he is certainly, a by a meaningful margin, and without serious debate, the most well-known resident of Gravette Arkansas.Johnadams11 (talk) 19:13, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

 * I suggest starting with USCITIES, which reads "To be included in a list of notable people, individuals must still meet the notability requirements per WP:PEOPLE. A fast and easy way to establish this is if they already have an article written about them on Wikipedia, since it would have never been approved, or would have been deleted, if they did not meet notability requirements. This is not the sole rationale for inclusion, since some people who might meet notability standards may not have an article, but it is a quick reference. If challenged, additions without their own article should be removed and discussed on the talk page of the city, until a consensus is reached. "
 * This individual has had a draft article rejected as "insufficiently notable". Therefore, I oppose including them in this article at this time. If at some point an article is written, I would certainly agree to inclusion.Jacona (talk) 13:58, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

RfC: Richard "Bigo" Barnett
We are seeking opinions on the inclusion of January 6th Capitol Rioter Richard "Bigo" Barnett on the list of notable people from Gravette. Johnadams11 (talk) 21:37, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Survey

 * Include - I'm usually a stickler for this type of thing, requiring a WP article for inclusion on a notable list in towns/cities/colleges/alumni. But this time, this guy is notable for putting his feet up on Nancy Pelosi's desk, and he is from Gravette which is always mentioned in sources. He received both widespread national and international coverage. NBC News, ABC News, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, New York Times, Associated Press, Fox News, Reuters, Australia, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Taiwan, Canada, England. He is an infamous and notable citizen from Gravette Arkansas. Isaidnoway (talk) 18:46, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Exclude per WP:USCITY "To be included in a list of notable people, individuals must still meet the notability requirements per WP:PEOPLE. A fast and easy way to establish this is if they already have an article written about them on Wikipedia, since it would have never been approved, or would have been deleted, if they did not meet notability requirements. This is not the sole rationale for inclusion, since some people who might meet notability standards may not have an article, but it is a quick reference. If challenged, additions without their own article should be removed and discussed on the talk page of the city, until a consensus is reached.", per WP:BLP1E, and per WP:BLPCRIME.Jacona (talk) 21:00, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Exclude for now at least, per WP:PROPORTION and as recentism. Acknowledged per User:Isaidnoway that "he received both widespread national and international coverage"; but I draw the opposite conclusion: this to me suggests that he is not notable - the stand-alone article was deleted despite this coverage. Springnuts (talk) 21:39, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know the article was deleted, so what. He's still notable for his actions, and the widespread coverage proves it. That photo of him at Pelosi's desk is an iconic and historical photograph that will be recorded in the history books. The insurrection at the Capitol was an extraordinary historical event and sadly, this is his legacy, and he will always be associated with Gravette Arkansas because of it. See our policy WP:IAR as well. Isaidnoway (talk) 22:29, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment: The broader community has given a clear consensus here and  here that the subject matter is not notable. The moment the community agrees on notability, I'll be on board with including it here.Jacona (talk) 13:39, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * By my count the !votes at the above mentioned deletion discussion were 18 for deleting, 1 for keeping.Jacona (talk) 14:18, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: the community wasn't deciding if Barnett should be included as a notable citizen from Gravette, but rather was he a notable subject for a BLP, big difference. The subject of this article is about a city in Arkansas, not a BLP, and per WP:USCITY - having a BLP article is not the sole rationale for inclusion, since some people who might meet notability standards may not have an article - so he doesn't have an article, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's not a notable citizen from Gravette Arkansas. There is verifiable evidence that Barnett has received significant attention from multiple sources to support a claim of notability. WP:BLP1E doesn't apply either because this article is not a BLP, and WP:BLPCRIME is moot as well, as we are not suggesting Barnett has committed a crime. It's been widely reported that he is from Gravette Arkansas. Isaidnoway (talk) 00:17, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * User:Isaidnoway, you are both right and wrong at the same time. For inclusion in the article about Gravette, wikipedia notability is not required. However, he's not just being included in an article about Gravette, but in a list of persons who are wikipedia notable. To be included in such a list, the individual must meet the inclusion criteria for notability. That means they could either have an article, or that if an article were to be written, it would likely survive the deletion process. The community has clearly indicated that an article on Barnett does not meet that standard at this time by deleting the article and rejecting an additional draft.Jacona (talk) 13:04, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * wikipedia notable says notability guidelines do not apply to content within articles or lists (with the exception of lists which restrict inclusion to notable items or people), which applies here, because this is not a stand-alone list, but rather a list/content within this article. Lists of people says that inclusion in lists contained within articles (which is what we are talking about here) should be determined by WP:SOURCELIST, which Barnett clearly satisfies with the significant coverage he's received, and continues to receive for being an Arkansas man who gained renown. Good grief, he has more reliable sources that verify supporting his inclusion than the people already listed in this article, which btw, are unsourced. Isaidnoway (talk) 15:46, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Each of the other entries in the list have their own article, and each is clearly sourced to Gravette in that article. Many wikilawyers remove such content, demanding a source in the current article, but I feel that's 1.) a jerk move, and 2.) a violation of the policy WP:PRESERVE, which along with WP:IAR is probably one of the 2 least popular rules among experienced editors. As far as your argument about nlist/listbio/sourcelist, it's not without merit, but it is certainly not the practice that's followed in popular articles. WTAF is clearly the consensus, and if we depart from it, we'll just be sitting around arguing about it with a different set of editors until we do. My guess is that sometime in the future, Barnett will get an article, and if he does, he will be uncontroversially included.Jacona (talk) 16:15, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Exclude - per the WP:USCITY policy cited above. Sure, he gets mentioned in plenty of news coverage, but is he notable enough to be an exception from this rule? I don't really think so, particularly since his notability was discussed and found wanting in different discussions. PraiseVivec (talk) 14:50, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Include - I'm the primary driver of this conversation, so feel free to ignore, but while it's easy to simply assert non-notability, I struggle to understand how this is much more than subjective judgement. Isaidnoway demonstrated the global reach of this man's infamy, and I've made a similar argument here. Johnadams11 (talk) 23:23, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Exclude - WP:USCITY and WP:RECENTISM. He'll get a couple of wire service reports about the court case then rapidly sink back into obscurity. --RaiderAspect (talk) 12:25, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Include - Barnett finds something nearly every day to increase his notoriety. Numerous local media stories. Wire stories. National print media. National broadcast media. If someone added it, he would get an article, and it would not meet deletion criteria. One source line mentioning where he is from is WP:NPOV, WP:V, and not WP:OR. Rklahn (talk) 09:03, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, someone did add it, and it did meet deletion criteria. See deletion discussionJacona (talk) 13:38, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The !vote count was 17 for deletion, 1 for inclusion, so this was an extremely strong consensus that the subject was not notable at that time.Jacona (talk) 13:51, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Again, to remind everyone, not notable for a BLP article, this article is not a BLP. Just because someone is not notable for a BLP, doesn't automatically mean their not noteworthy enough for inclusion in other articles, like 2021 storming of the United States Capitol, or this one, which reliable sources overwhelmingly describe him as being from Gravette. Isaidnoway (talk) 09:03, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

 * That would be true if it were to be a sentence say, in the history section. But it's not. It's in a list of Notables, which means the subject must meet the criteria for inclusion in a list of notables.Jacona (talk) 11:49, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
 * He does meet the criteria for inclusion per WP:RS, WP:V and WP:SOURCELIST. Inclusion in lists contained within articles should be determined by WP:SOURCELIST, in that the entries must have the same importance to the subject as would be required for the entry to be included in the text of the article. So if it's true he meets the criteria for a sentence say, in the history section (text of the article), then he can be added to notable people from Gravette. Isaidnoway (talk) 16:49, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

 * WikiProject_Cities/US_Guideline reads "To be included in a list of notable people, individuals must still meet the notability requirements per WP:PEOPLE. A fast and easy way to establish this is if they already have an article written about them on Wikipedia, since it would have never been approved, or would have been deleted, if they did not meet notability requirements. This is not the sole rationale for inclusion, since some people who might meet notability standards may not have an article, but it is a quick reference. If challenged, additions without their own article should be removed and discussed on the talk page of the city, until a consensus is reached." When the list in question is a list of notable anything, the entries on that list must be in fact, notable. Just having a reliable source is not sufficient to establish notability.Jacona (talk) 17:13, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment - It is quite possible that, as 5 weeks have passed, the community's consensus might be different if the article were to be created again. Rather than bucking the overwhelming consensus at AfD by trying to add Barnett to a list of notables when the community has expressly asserted that he is not notable, I would suggest re-creating the article. If the new article survives deletion, no one would oppose it's inclusion in this list as well.Jacona (talk) 13:47, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The world of Barnett today is very much different than it was on January 11th. Plus, I think we know about some local notoriety that we did not really know about then. Time and energy permitting, I might write at least a stub. Rklahn (talk) 15:14, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Exclude Absolutely not per WP:USCITY. If his fifteen minutes of fame are prolonged, it will be a different matter. Coretheapple (talk) 23:17, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
