• Featured list removal candidates/List of municipalities in Tennessee/archive1

Notified: Orlady, WikiProject Cities, WikiProject Tennessee

I am nominating this for featured list removal because... it is no longer one of Wikipedia's best:

• Dead links

• Bolding of "incorporated municipalities in the state of Tennessee" violates WP:BOLDTITLE

• The table is lacks appropriate "! scope="col"" and "! scope="row"" tags; see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Data tables tutorial for more information and requirements

• The census and land data need to be updated from the 2010 census

• The population comparison should be updated/removed; 2000 is out of date

• I don't see a need for the background colors

• Ref 10 needs proper citation

• The lead should be more descriptive of "municipalities in Tennessee", including the first municipality incorporated, a summary of the "Municipal charters" section, the most populous v. least populous municipality, etc; see List of cities and towns in California as an example.

• The "As of 2007, 212 of the state's municipalities were operating under charters established ..." is seven years out of date

• The caption requires a reference

• The color indication of the "County seat" requires a text indicator, or a {{dagger}} or {{double-dagger}}, or something of the like

• The "disincorporated" municipalities have no explanation in the text

• Note "A" needs a reference

• Reference 9 looks more like a note

• Citations with page ranges need ndashs; references in general could be better organized by following the appropriate citation templates

• The "Municipal charters" section is rather disjointed and could use a reorganization, and explanation of how the various forms of municipal charters differ in terms of administration and application

Not one of Wikipedia's best. Seattle (talk) 15:40, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

• Comment I've updated with 2010 census data. There are still some issues that need to be addressed. Bms4880 (talk) 21:03, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Delist I share some of the concerns listed above that have not yet been met. Also I feel that this list could use a map of both Tennessee's position in the USA (see: List of cities and towns in California), and a map of municipal boundaries, something like List of municipalities in Ontario. It would be nice to have three more columns: 2000 population, population change, and population density. I would also add images of the largest cities and towns like those in the California article. This would be my ideal list of changes. If some can be met I will strike out my delist. Mattximus (talk) 18:03, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
