Talk:Bill Haslam

message: The current page appears to be NPOV, although lacking in information.  Several more paragraphs about his term as mayor would be good.
Also, the current picture is pretty lacking--if anyone has access to a newer, or better, picture, please upload it.

message: This article does not conform to a neutral point of view due to one-sided arguments and weasel words.  This issue is more serious because this article falls under the Biography of living persons guidelines.  This article is well sourced, so opposing points of view should be added (and sourced) and the weasel words should be removed to make it fall into WP:BLP complaince.--Burzum 16:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Greetings! Wanted to request an addition to state that Bill Haslam is on the Young Life Board of Trustees. http://www.younglife.org/NR/rdonlyres/FBECEBD7-494D-4060-A549-7F8D8DC46106/0/TrusteesforPDF201213.pdf.

thread_title:  Edit request 

message: Does anyone really believe that the CREW reference to Haslam being "one of the worst governors in America" is appropriate in this article? It appears that the rating is based on a subjective analysis limited to 16 Republican governors and 2 Democratic governors and in which all the governors analyzed received the rating. No criteria were specified. CFredkin (talk) 02:22, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That paragraph should have never been added.  That group's neutrality is suspect, and the methodology they used in determining the "worst governors" is laughable.  I have no objections to its removal.  Bms4880 (talk) 03:41, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Just removed it.  I've removed similar ratings from other articles and the consensus seems to be that without some third party sources to show that a rating is notable for the subject of the article or that the related controversy is notable, there's nothing to support its inclusion. - Maximusveritas (talk) 21:31, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  I've removed the NPOV tag, since I'm assuming that paragraph was the issue.  Bms4880 (talk) 01:37, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Did he fall to third, because isn't/wasn't J.B. the wealthiest governor, not the second? The wording of this is confusing, makes it sound like J.B. Pritzker overtook him at second, rather than became the wealthiest thus knocking Haslam to third. SecretName101 (talk) 01:15, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
