Douglas Kuria

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable Kenyan businessman. None of the coverage is WP:SIGCOV of him, it's all focused on the companies he works for or on his father, from whom notability cannot be WP:INHERITED. Dclemens1971 (talk) 20:57, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

 * I think the page meets WP:INHERITED criteria by Family Tree. 12eeWikiUser (talk) 08:10, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The whole point of WP:INHERITED is that notability is not inherited from notable family members. It must be independently proven by significant coverage in secondary, independent, reliable sources. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:32, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I read there that "Inherited notability is the idea that something qualifies for an article merely because it was associated with some other, legitimately notable subjects." I am trying to understand what this can do with Douglas Kuria. 12eeWikiUser (talk) 13:52, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * That statement is on a page labeled "Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions." The full section is about why the idea you quoted is incorrect. All of the coverage that mentions Kuria is really about his companies or his father, and he cannot inherit their notability. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:26, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for clarifying. Is moving the page into draft space and re-writing it again allowed at this stage? 12eeWikiUser (talk) 14:45, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It can't be unilaterally moved by a new page reviewer once this much time has passed since creation, but you can formally request it by typing "draftify" in bold. I will agree to that alternative as well. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:34, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
