PROD rationale was Random modern road bridge in Tennessee. It inspired a poem, but poems don't count as RS. This looks promising, but is largely about the person the bridge is named after. Found a copy of the legislation naming this bridge. Beyond that, just turning up passing mentions and a handful of wikipedia mirrors and derivatives and a few user-generated databases. Fails WP:GEOFEAT and WP:GNG. PROD declined by BilCat with the rationale of as the poem implies, it might be noteworthy for.having been named after a living African American, possibly the first such things n Chattanooga or Tennessee - we.need to do.due diligence before deleting it, which is a reasonable deprod. I've looked into the poem, which is by Minnie B. Sledge, but I'm not seeing any evidence that Ms. Sledge is particularly prominent (willing to be disproved), and aside from a slight bit of attention when the bridge was opened, there's practically no coverage of this. Possibly redirect to List of crossings of the Tennessee River? Hog Farm _Bacon 23:47, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The poem seems fine and, according to the governor, it is "the most expensive bridge we have in the state. ... it is an indication that it is not just a little bridge. It is an important bridge". Andrew🐉(talk) 09:09, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A poem is not RS. The other source is okay, but only contains four sentences specifically about the bridge. Hog Farm _Bacon 17:21, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Completely fails WP:GEOFEAT and WP:GNG. BEFORE showed only mentions, nothing that meets SIGCOV addressing the topic directly and in depth. It is clearly not-notable, but if others think a redirect to List of crossings of the Tennessee River or Tennessee State Route 319 per GEOFEAT is a good idea, I don't object.   // Timothy :: talk  17:09, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - Could a plausible Redirect be to Clarence B. Robinson's article, itself? The bridge is mentioned there already, and those brief sources brought up here could be added there. Rorshacma (talk) 18:50, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Pretty generic highway bridge. God, if just any subject of a few rhyming lines got a free article... Redirect is of course fine, either Timothy mentions would be appropriate. Reywas92^Talk 00:08, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• delete Yet another run-of-the-mill highway bridge with a dedication. Mangoe (talk) 20:05, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
