Deborah Spungen

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:BIO. While her daughter is notable, notability is not inherited and article subject isn't notable for any other reason other than being the mother of a notable person. ♟♙ (talk) 19:26, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Note from a random user; As someone researching the topic of Nancy Spungen I have found her mother to be an interesting person in her own right. Not only has she written extensively about her daughter and had direct contact with Vicious after Nancy's death, she has also gone on to write about more general topics related to family tragedy. Including; homicide in the family and dealing with becoming a widow. She also involves herself with some causes related to families dealing with tradegy. If anything her page needs updating with more relevent info, as she clearly isn't shy of the public eye. Her publishing and promotion of these materials indicates she is happy to spread awareness and discussion about these issues. Which having an easy to search wiki page is already doing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.74.152.40 (talk) 12:59, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Nancy Spungen, Deborah spent a lot of time writing about Nancy and that can be covered in her article.★Trekker (talk) 21:06, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Nancy Spungen, as per above. Sliekid (talk) 16:39, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect I agree with the nominator - notability is not inherited and Deborah doesn't pass the guidelines on her own, however information from her article can be added to Nancy's. Less Unless (talk) 11:26, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. Satisfies WP:NAUTHOR#3. While she might be less famous, she's more notable than her daughter. Nancy Spungen is primarily notable for one one event (her death), while Deborah is notable as an author having written at least three books (Table for One is missing from our article). Her first book (And I Don’t Want to Live This Life) was widely reviewed, and would make her notable even without the additional books. pburka (talk) 22:42, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
