Cara Gosselin

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This title has existed for six years as a redirect to Kate Plus 8, until being converted into a standalone article about Cara within the past 24 hours — however, the problem is that the standalone article makes no genuinely substantive claim that Cara is notable in her own right for anything except existing. And right across the board, the sourcing just namechecks her existence in the process of being about her mother or the show rather than substantively about her. Notability is not inherited, so she doesn't qualify for a standalone article just because her mom and dad have standalone articles — to make her eligible for an article, she would have to be able to make a much stronger claim of notability than has been attempted here.

 * Delete and restore to redirect WP:N not met and the sources we have on the article (sourcing the subject's ethnicity with a HuffPost story going on about her mom's ill-advised Twitter photo, Today fluff and a story from Hollywood Life, which is just a blogger 'type-what-I-seeing' and opining about an interview) are unacceptable.

 * Delete and restore to redirect as per & above. Not seeing sufficient signs that CG is a subject in her own right.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 23:05, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Return to redirect None of Gosselin's actions make her indepdently notable, just part of her family. She is still a minor, and I think we should avoid being part of the media exploitation of her existence.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:49, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete and restore to redirect; is each Gosselin kid going to get his or her own page because their mother is a publicity hound? Quis separabit?  03:25, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
