Keep - A U.S. President was raised born in her home. She is the reason Ford wound up in Michigan. Americasroof (talk) 04:00, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Nominator is attempting to delete all articles on Ford's parental history so I made a mistake as I am responding to each of his deletions. Americasroof (talk) 04:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I was right the first time on Ford being raised in her home (nominator is also deleting the grandmotther in Omaha). Americasroof (talk) 04:09, 6 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. So what? Notability isn't inherited. So she was the mom of a then-future president, that's not enough to make her notable. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 04:02, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Adele was the grandmother of a President, not the mother, and this article has no information about her but genealogical information (birth/marriage/children/death). The article does not establish her as notable per WP:BIO. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:10, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge. If she is not already mentioned in the article on President Ford, some selective information may be useful there. This person is not notable enough for an independent article. LonelyBeacon (talk) 08:15, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Being the grandmother of a country's leader is not in itself notable. Alberon (talk) 14:36, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete agree - notability is not in the genes. Nurture not nature Victuallers (talk) 15:02, 7 December 2007 (UTC) If the article described and cited her role in his nurture then that might work ... but it doesn't. Victuallers (talk) 15:05, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, there's nothing that suggests notability, if we accept this bio. we would have to accept also great or great-great-grandfathers of notable people.--Aldux (talk) 20:38, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
