Not sure if the circumstances have changed since the last AfD, since Sheehy has attracted significantly more media coverage (though not cited here).

I'm still in the Delete camp, at least until after the election. Intothatdarkness 15:42, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I still believe this should remain a redirect. - Enos733 (talk) 16:10, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not opposed to a redirect. But I still don't think he needs his own article. Intothatdarkness 17:35, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Tim Sheehy is a politician and major party candidate for US Senate and, if the polls are correct, has a huge chance of becoming the next Senator from Montana. I don't understand why we are discussing deleting the article instead of expanding it. All senators and candidates from major parties have their own Wikipedia pages! 2804:D41:F815:AE00:818C:A71C:6F1A:C3B9 (talk) 15:52, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be retained because he is now a member of the US Senate, but the article should be made politically neutral. As currently constituted, the article sounds like it was written by his opponent for office. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.27.38 (talk) 18:41, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tim Sheehy is a major party candidate for the U.S. Senate and, based on current polls, has a strong chance of becoming Montana’s next Senator. I don't see why we're talking about deleting this article instead of improving it. Catgiraffe (talk) 21:38, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree fully. The article must be kept.. Melledelle (talk) 22:58, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I join those who are voting to keep. The Washington Post carried an extensive article on him months ago, if memory serves. His business is not thriving as his campaign would want voters to believe, but it's teetering. The misrepresentations about his service time should be available to Wikipedia writers interested in this race. Lee Newspapers, which I believe control a substantial portion of local coverage in Montana, have not seemed to give this race the attention it deserves, IMHO. Lastly, part of the article is sourced to the publisher's promotional page which I don't think should be depended on to include otherwise unsupported ostensible reliable sources. They're in the business of selling books, not checking facts, especially those that might depress sales. Activist (talk) 22:13, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Shady Sheehy"

[edit]

I know this is a trivial thing, but I do honestly think it's worth a mention in the article. I live in Montana and a good handful of people refer to Sheehy by the nickname "Shady Sheehy." The nickname comes from the way-too-many political ads here in Montana about "Shady Sheehy," Jon Tester, Ryan Zinke, etc. I previously added a section about the nickname but it has since been removed. I think the nickname is, at the very least, worth at least once sentence in the article. The only issue I have is: how do you cite people talking? There's almost no articles about the nickname, but I know for a fact lots of Montanans refer to him as (or even just simply know of) "Shady Sheehy." MontanaMako (talk) 19:45, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:MontanaMako However you might feel about Sheehy, you can only add material that comes from a reliable source. The nickname is not reliably sourced, so out it goes. It was removed by another Wikipedia editor who would prefer that the whole article be deleted, but with that, the immediately preceding well-sourced specifics about his painstakingly verified and thoroughly documented plagiarism from Montana's States Newsroom were also erased. We all live and learn. Activist (talk) 20:24, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Department of Education

[edit]

Sheehy has said the Department of Education should be eliminated and offered his rationale. What is wrong with including his reasoning for why he believes it should be done away with? Djflem (talk) 06:17, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What's wrong is the wording Of the United States Department of Education, Sheehy said that it was formed "so little Black girls could go to school down south, and we could have integrated schooling. We don’t need that anymore” and that is meant to "indoctrinate and enslave" which creates an ambiguity. Is the "that" referring to (a) the department itself? (we don't need the department anymore because amen, integration is long complete) (b) "integrated schooling" (we don't need that anymore...because we should go back to segregation) or (c) "so little Black girls could go to school" (we don't need that anymore...because they should still be field slaves?). I'm going to revert this again because without the strongest of sourcing, we can't insinuate a BLP is a segregationist (or worse) without extremely strong sourcing. I'm open to a rewrite where only interpretation (a) is clear, but I think just the one quote on education is plenty when we say say nothing about his other two most important policy positions or even say what they are although the sources do. BBQboffingrill me BBQboffingrill me 09:44, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are welcome to added cited material about his other two most important policy positions. Please do, because, as you suggest it's lacking in the article.Djflem (talk) 16:30, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikipedia is very clear about original research and synthesis. It's not allowed. You have done both by 1)imposing your interpretation of statements by subject to draw your conclusion/meaning (which is not truthful presentation of facts and thus not a neutral point of view) and 2) used language not provided by subject or cited in reference to explain the subject's meaning 3)manipulated/entwined both to present something not said. Besides, if you look at your history, the effort to desegregate schools in the South took place mostly in the 1960s, long before the department was established in 1979, so it's plain wrong. It is not the job of Wikipedia editors, even those with BLP concerns, to add things that are unverifiable: he did not note anything, you did, and the ambiguity of his statement is not yours to fix for him.

This is what he's said and offered as his rationale:

Sheehy has said “We have a Department of Education, which I don’t think we need anymore.” He wants eliminate the department by “throwing it in the trash can” and that "that’ll save us $30 billion right there.” He said: “We formed that department so little Black girls could go to school down south, and we could have integrated schooling. We don’t need that anymore”[1] He called the department an "indoctrination factory to push out curriculum that parents don’t want.”[2] and said that “national education system” is intended to “indoctrinate and enslave.”[3]

Bullet wound

[edit]

The controversy about the bullet wound belongs in the election section, since the issue speaks to his honesty as a candidate. There are two versions of the story, both presented. To include it in the military is Wikipedia taking a stance and saying one story is more "true" than another, which is not a Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Djflem (talk) 07:23, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If we're going to "speak to his honesty as a candidate" then for NPOV we should not include Sheehy's response, as quoted in the NYT, that he is being falsely accused of stolen valor by his opponent's campaign? BBQboffingrill me 07:45, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move page?

[edit]

It's official that Sheehy has won the Montana Senate race, so should the page be moved? I would personally be in favor of moving the page to "Tim Sheehy (senator)" or "Tim Sheehy (U.S. senator)" but keeping it "Tim Sheehy (businessman)" is still understandable. MontanaMako (talk) 18:36, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why not just... "Tim Sheehy" Catgiraffe (talk) 21:04, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because he’s an incoming U.S. Senator. 67.188.95.218 (talk) 04:41, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Surreal that less than a month before the election, there was strong support for deleting the page entirely; some heavy thumbs on the scale there. My first thought was to keep (businessman) until he's sworn in, but sure there's precedent for this on WP? What do we usually do? BBQboffingrill me 05:33, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be in favor of simply "Tim Sheehy" and changing the current Tim Sheehy page to "Tim Sheehy (disambiguation)" MontanaMako (talk) 05:24, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the page should simply be renamed Tim Sheehy. There isn't another person with the name so we don't need the parenthesis.--Tbennert (talk) 19:43, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There's three other people named Tim Sheehy who have Wikipedia articles: Tim Sheehy (ice hockey), Timothy Sheehy (Cork politician), and Timothy Sheehy (Tipperary politician). Nevertheless, I think the soon-to-be Montana senator is more notable than the other three. MontanaMako (talk) 19:59, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with using Tim Sheehy, as the Senator-Elect is by far the most notable of the four. Garnet Moss (talk) 21:10, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Tim Sheehy (U.S. politician) could be a good way to differentiate him from the others who hold the same name and are politicians in their respective countries. Atlboy64 (talk) 21:40, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Now that he is a Senator (as of noon EST on January 3, 2025) I agree we should change it to just Tim Sheehy. He has become a prominent political figure in today's age. The other people with the same name either died in the early to mid 1900's and the ice hockey player who is still alive, supposedly, only had something of note during the 1960's and 70's Olympics; all of which have parentheses after their name with their distinctive notabilities. There would be no confusion amongst these names. TimeToFixThis (talk) 11:16, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Title

[edit]

I think his major identification is politician but not business man, therefore, the title should be Tim Sheehy (politician) 金色黎明 (talk) 15:57, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Either that, Tim Sheehy (senator), or simply Tim Sheehy. MontanaMako (talk) 00:30, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It should be moved to Tim Sheehy. The other people with that name with Wikipedia articles are a long-retired hockey player and two long-deceased Irish politicians, none particularly notable. This Tim Sheehy is now clearly the most notable person with the name. 2601:152:1200:5DFD:F09A:C6CB:4926:6A2F (talk) 03:09, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Simply Tim Sheehy also seems the best to me, the Senator-Elect is definitely the most notable. Garnet Moss (talk) 21:11, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tim Sheehy (businessman) → Tim Sheehy (American politician)Tim Sheehy (American politician) – Sheehy has won the election and is now an incoming politician, as the lead sentence indicates. As the person who originally added the "businessman" disambiguation before he was elected, I believe it is time to rename the page to reflect what he is by far the most known for being, a politician. Needforspeed888 (talk) 14:42, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Other discussions (see above) above have suggested that this page simply be Tim Sheehy and that page currently with that title be Tim Sheehy (disambiguation) and that Wikipedia:Hatnote added here. I would concur. Djflem (talk) 16:54, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think Tim Sheehy is best, or maybe Tim Sheehy (American politician), but not Tim Sheehy (politician). Check out someone like Tim Scott for an example of a sitting senator with a handful of other notable people with his name. TheSavageNorwegian 18:44, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Legislation subsection

[edit]

Hello. I know Tim Sheehy and would like to work with the community to update this page. My first recommendation is to add a subheading such as “Legislation” within the United States Senate section, organized by topic, with the following information:

By April 2025, Sheehy signed onto 15 bills to restructure how the US responds to wildfires.[1] These included legislation giving a tax credit to support protective upgrades for low-income families,[2] setting standard response times for wildfires,[3] improving wildland firefighter wages, and creating a federal response agency.[4] He also proposed a bill allowing private companies to buy former military planes and parts for wildfire response purposes which was signed into law on June 12, 2025 by President Trump[5] after passing in the Senate[1][6] and House.[7]
Also in April 2025, Sheehy was one of two Republicans who voted to prevent the sale of public lands to lower the federal deficit.[8]

 Go ahead: I have reviewed these proposed changes and suggest that you go ahead and make the proposed changes to the page. Dahawk04 (talk) 23:25, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Signing on" to bills, and voting is run-of-the-mill stuff for legislators. If Sheehy authored a significant bill that became law, that would be worthy of inclusion. I'd say include S. 160 along with the sources but a lot of the other stuff just looks promotional. BBQboffingrill me 05:14, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Dahawk04 and BBQboffin - I've modified the request based on your feedback as follows:
Sheehy's firefighting experience inspired his approach to legislation to restructure how the US responds to wildfires.[1] Sheehy's bill S.160, the "Aerial Firefighting Enhancement Act of 2025," allowing private companies to buy former military planes and parts for wildfire response purposes, was signed into law on June 12, 2025, by President Trump.[2][3]

Additional updates

[edit]

Hi everyone. I found a few additional details that are relevant to this article and have provided sources below. Please consider the following updates to the Military career section:

  • Sheehy majored in history at the Naval Academy and completed Army Ranger School.[4][5]
  • After graduating, Sheehy served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Navy SEAL and team leader. He also spent time in South America and the Pacific region, earning multiple combat decorations.[6][7]
  • The sentence about his Bronze Star should specify that it is a Bronze Star with a "V" device.[8]
  • In March of 2025, President Trump appointed Sheehy to the U.S. Naval Academy's Board of Visitors.[4]

Updates to the business career section

[edit]

Hi everyone. In working to make this article more comprehensive, I’ve identified a few facts that I think would fit well in the Business career section. I've also included some sources below.

In the first paragraph, about Bridger Aerospace, I suggest adding the following details:

Currently, the page does not mention Sheehy's company Ascent Vision Technologies. I suggest that paragraph below be added following the paragraph about Bridger Aerospace:

  • In 2015, Sheehy and his partners launched Ascent Vision Technologies (AVT) which became a sister company to Bridger Aerospace.[3][4] By 2019, the company had grown to support anti-drone technology for the U.S. military that had thwarted an Iranian drone attack.[4][5] The company was sold to CACI International for $350 million in 2020.[4][6]

Finally, I suggest adding the following to the paragraph about the Little Belt Cattle Company:

  • In 2021, Sheehy won a conservation award from the Montana Land Reliance for protecting the ranch and ensuring it “remain scenic and open space in perpetuity.”[7]

I added to Sheehy's biography the second two bullets, but not the first two bullets. The reason I chose not to add the first two bullets is that this is a biography about Tim Sheehy, and an article already exists about the company that he founded. Specifically,
  • Bullet #1 is trivial information about the exact location within Belgrade, Montana that is probably not even encyclopedic for the article about the company, let alone for the biographical article of the company's founder.
  • Bullet #2 has some potential if you could cite how exactly did "Sheehy’s experiences" influence the technology. Without this detail, it's essentially just WP:FLUFF (which is probably why it's a good idea for you to have someone else make the call what should be included and what shouldn't be included, since you have a conflict of interest).
In addition to the requests you made, I also added that Sheehy personally profitted $75 million from the sale of Bridger Aerospace. I'm not sure whether or not you wanted that information included, but I think that would be encyclopedic content. Green Montanan (talk) 21:54, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sheehy Family Foundation

[edit]

Hi everyone. Tim Sheehy and his family have made various donations, and it seems like information that should be included in his Personal life section. Below are some specifics with sources, and I would appreciate an experienced editor like Green Montanan taking a look and adding to the page.

  • Sheehy and his family run the Sheehy Family Foundation with a focus on health and education in Montana.[1] This included a $4 million contribution to the neonatal intensive care unit and pediatrics at Bozeman Health,[2][3] $1 million to the Trauma Center at the Billings Clinic,[4] $1 million to the Belgrade public library,[5] and $500,000 to the Montana Historical Society among others.[2]

Thanks so much! Clarkfork79 (talk) 14:53, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This seems like good content to add to the article under a new section "Family Foundation". The problem is there is not much information about the foundation itself. The foundation's own website lacks basic information such as when was it formed?
Is the foundation is just a paper entity? If that's the case, then we obviously wouldn't create a subsection about it, but we could still add to the personal life section that Tim and his wife have made various donations to non-profit organizations within Montana.
So the way you answer my question about the foundation would depend on how I would add the requested content to the article. Green Montanan (talk) 18:29, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So in the meantime I added this single sentence to the personal life section of the article. I am sorry to make it sound like he made donations just to bolster his credentials as a candidate, but has he made any big donations since being elected (10 months ago)?
The Bozeman Daily article about his $1 million donation to a public library in Belgrade is from April 2025 (5 months after the election), but since it was about the grand opening of the library (end of construction), and not about the ground breaking of the library (start of construction), I assume that the donation was made before the election, as construction probably took longer than 5 months (and a donation for construction would have to have been made before construction began).
I also assume that the $6 million in donations reported by the Daily Montanan does not include the $1 million for the library in Belgrade, but because I'm not sure, so I didn't adjust the $6 million figure to reflect that. Green Montanan (talk) 19:30, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
