Talk:Belle Meade, Tennessee/Archives/2018

Belle Meade Country Club content

I removed content pertaining to Belle Meade Country Club. As this is an entry about the entire City of Belle Meade, it should follow the guidelines for writing a Wikipedia U.S. city article. This article should focus specifically on the city, itself, not on information regarding the institutions located in the city.

If the contributor would like to start another article regarding the country club and would then like to link to it from this entry, that new article would be a more appropriate article to include such information.

Harding Academy (Nashville)

A bold replacement of an article with a REDIRECT and no merger of any of the text of the original article is an effective means of deletion without the time, review, and consensus that would be associated with a PROD or AfD. I kept a copy of the article in my sandbox with two new sections this morning. I understand that the K-8 coverage takes away from the (almost automatic) notability of a high school.

Lede changes

Ha! Looks good, Zigzig20s - I was actually trimming at the same time which caused an (edit conflict) when I clicked on "publish changes".

• Following is what I proposed:

Belle Meade is a city in Davidson County, Tennessee with a total land area of 3.1 square miles (8.0 km²). The population in 2017 was 2,912 based on the 2010 census. Jim Hunt has served as the city's commissioner since 2008, and was first elected Mayor in 2012. His term expires in November 2020. Belle Meade operates independently as a city with its own charter, regulations, city hall, and police force. In the 1960s, Belle Meade and 5 other incorporated cities were annexed as "satellite cities" under a second charter of the larger Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County. A few of Belle Meade's notable residents include former vice-president Al Gore, Vince Gill and Amy Grant.

The city's origins date back to Belle Meade Plantation in 1807 with the purchase of a log cabin and 250 acres (100 ha) by Virginian John Harding (1777-1865). Located on the Natchez Trace near Richland Creek, Belle Meade Plantation grew into a successful Thoroughbred breeding farm with various service businesses located on the property, including a grist and saw mill, a cotton gin, and a blacksmith shop that were operated primarily by slave labor. In 1939, Harding’s son William Giles Harding inherited Belle Meade, enlarged the mansion, and expanded the land to 5,400 acres (2,200 ha). Debt forced the family to sell Belle Meade in 1906, and by 1938 the City of Belle Meade was established. The mansion, outbuildings and approximately 30 acres (12 ha) were consolidated, and purchased by the Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities in 1953. The mansion was converted into a museum and tourist attraction, and was entered into the National Registry of Historic Places (#69000177), December 30, 1969.
