The result was merge to Johannes Schuyler Jr.. Given what a merge means there can obviously also be information merged to Schuyler family but Johannes seems to have more marginally more support as a redirect target. Barkeep49 (talk) 00:43, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

When I initially came across this article, I got really excited, because I really wanted it to turn out to be notable. However, try as I might, I cannot find any coverage besides "she was the wife of X" "she was the mother of Y" or "she was related to Z", which doesn't make her notable (per WP:NOTGENEALOGY and WP:NOTINHERITED). There's a brief bit of coverage here and here, and similar things across the web, but I'm afraid none of it establishes notability outside of her family. A redirect to Schuyler family seems to be in order. I would be more than happy to be proven wrong. Eddie891 Talk Work 20:17, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete this is an egregious violation of not geneology guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:35, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to an appropriate target. While not notable in her own right, the information is useful for context about one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Bearian (talk) 19:11, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge with Johannes Schuyler Jr.: and removed the genealogy   // Timothy ::  talk  03:13, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
 * If it's going to be merged anywhere, I'd reckon that Schuyler family would be a better target. Eddie891 Talk Work 12:10, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , That's a viable option. I was thinking Johannes because she entered the Schuyler family through him. When you remove the genealogy cruft, there isn't much left, I don't think this is a viable search term for a redirect. I think, as you state, I want this to be notable and am searching, but the rationale is paper-thin.  // Timothy ::  talk  12:22, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge into either Johannes Schuyler Jr. or Schuyler family. Foxnpichu (talk) 11:31, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to Johannes Schuyler Jr., looking at the Schuyler family article I reckon that her husband is a better merge target. Devonian Wombat (talk) 21:18, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge or redirect as suggested in last 2 contributions. I see nothing notable about her career, apart from genealogical issues (which are themselves NN).  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:59, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
