Benton-Brown-Fremont-Clay-McDowell family

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Here's a family tree that's non-notable as a stand alone article. Who's related to who can be (and is) listed in the family sections of the individual family members where it is better suited. Tavix | Talk  03:30, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing is said about the family, just about individual members. Kitfoxxe (talk) 05:41, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Tentative keep - this is the sort of article that could be improved and sourced easily. However, it may entail original research. Bearian (talk) 21:55, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: There is nothing to indicate that the family has ever been studied or considered as whole (a requirement for an article describing a family often brought up here); in fact, the "family" described does not seem to be a coherent group at all. הסרפד (Hasirpad) [formerly Ratz...bo] 00:28, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * However, potentially notable members should be split to stubs. הסרפד (Hasirpad) [formerly Ratz...bo] 00:28, 26 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:GNG. As a group, this extended family doesn't seem to have been discussed in reliable sources. Are any of the links between any family members sourced (sorry, I've not really checked individual members' articles)? If this happens, it can always be undeleted. -- Trevj (talk) 12:36, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I've notified the article creator - which should ideally have been done by the nominator - and would like to suggest that relisting would be appropriate. -- Trevj (talk) 12:36, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Brother-in-law, cousin-in-law etc. do not make these discrete individuals a "family." Original research and synthesis. Edison (talk) 03:47, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - smacks of WP:OR, also, who on earth is going to search for this with its current name anyway? Lukeno94 (talk) 11:31, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:OR, also the article isn't properly titled. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 00:24, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
