Bryon Noem

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I think our usual precedent is that spouses of US State governors are not necessarily notable. However, his spouse was also a member of the US House from her state, and  we seem to have at category Category:Spouses of members of the United States House of Representatives. I checked 15 at random, and at 12 of the 15 of them were unquestionably notable in their own right    DGG ( talk ) 03:54, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete My views on “being married to someone is not notability” are clear around here but even beyond that, clearly there is nothing there worth an article at this time. Trillfendi (talk) 05:16, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete well we do not have an article on Jason Love (well, the one who is the husband of Mia Love) or many, many other spouses of members of congress. Even in the case of Sarah Palin's husband, he was not clearly notable even after she became a candidate for Vice President, clearly not just when she was governor of Alaska. I have even come to question weather Lenore Romney is notable. Her husband was governor, cabinet member and potential contender for the presidency, she was a candidate for Senate whose defeat was in some ways a proxy rejection of the policies of her husband as Secretary of HUD, she was for a time a bit part actress, and she is the mother of a current senator, former governor who also was a major party nominee for US president. Her and George Romney's relationship gets major play in 3 biographies written of him. That is the level of coverage that almost certainly shows notability. If Mrs. Noem gets whole biographies written on her that speak deeply on her relationship with her husband, or becomes a contentder for national office, or if Bryon Noem runs for senate on his own and has a decent chance of winning, I can see him becoming notable, but not yet with one article covering his wife's igaguration. The Deseret News ran a whole article about Jason Love, and that I do not consider enough to make him notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:22, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Note: Category:Spouses of United States state governors, we have lots of such articles, although we have tehm on only a tiny fraction of governor's spouses.  WP:INHERIT: "Individuals in close, personal relationships with famous people (including politicians) can have an independent article even if they are known solely for such a relationship, but only if they pass WP:GNG."  There has to be WP:SIGCOV, some of the older articles in these categories are about old-fashioned wives who got a lot of SIGCOV by hosting garden parties, promoting hubby's policies at women's clubs and so forth.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:48, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete I think there is notability being the first, first gentlemen in the state's history. Otherwise Delete.Koncurrentkat (talk) 17:25, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
