Talk:Patrick Hemingway

Patrick Hemingway is not notable for anything
The entire article is based on materials about his famous father, but Patrick is a secondary person in that story. Things like where he and his wife lived, or whether he rode along with the crew on his father's boat, are ludicrous sentences, because that can be said of anyone in the world. "So and so went to this college" or "this person got a job" is not a reason for having an article about a man, simply because his dad was famous. What exactly did Patrick Hemingway do that 10 million other people have not also done?Paragraphbee (talk) 19:57, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * He posthumously edited Ernest Hemingway's True at First Light, something nobody else has done! He also manages all the EH intellectual property currently. The combination of both those things would make him a BLP subject even if he wasn't EH's son, as there is plenty of published material about both ventures, which are of interest to EH scholars. Patrick also is not shy-- he has written many intros to EH literature, and given many magazine interviews about his father, including a recent one about the film _Hemingway and Gellhorn_. So he's not a recluse whose privacy is being badly intruded on, here (I think that should count a little). This is a respectful BLP, and well within guidelines. S B Harris 20:40, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
