Billy Mays III

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Billy Mays III has received no coverage in reliable sources other than brief mentions as a relative of his late father and a possible role behind the scenes in his father's TV show, PitchMen. He fails WP:BIO. Tim meh  14:11, 29 July 2009 (UTC) --Mr. Unknown (talk) 14:57, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Billy Mays as a plausible search term. There doesn't seem to be enough notability to justify a stand-alone article.  If an when there is, the article can be recreated. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  16:04, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirecting is preferable to deletion since it's a plausible search term. I haven't looked into the question of a dedicated article. Olaf Davis (talk) 20:18, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability isn't inherited. Future possible roles don't cut it. Niteshift36 (talk) 05:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm a fan of the late Billy Mays and his TV show, but I say delete it. I don't even recommend a redirect because I don't think "Billy Mays III" is a plausible search term (I would just look up "Billy Mays" if I was trying to find him). Since this Billy is supposed to be part of the next season of Pitchmen, he might become more notable later, in which case there's justification in recreating the article. --  At am a chat 19:29, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Billy Mays III is in PitchMen, unlike you guys! You guys never went on TV before. He's half as popular as Billy Mays, and that's a lot because the Billy Mays that's resting in peace was very popular. I hear of Billy Mays III a lot. Jeremjay24 (talk) 14:19, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Notability is not inherited, and Billy Mays III is not playing a lead role in PitchMen but is just helping develop the format for the second season. Tim  meh  15:24, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
