Earle family

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

Genealogy of a family based on one self published family tree from 1888 and supplemented with Original Research for persons after 1888. No secondary sources, no indication of notability for the family name and no way to independently verify the names. Fails WP:GNG Slywriter (talk) 23:56, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Many members of that era have individual Wikipedia articles, making this article unnecessary, plus reliable, independent sources about the Earle family do not exist, and notability has not been shown. Fails WP:GNG. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 02:30, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge or Re-write adding citations from independent sources. I do agree that the article as it stands is not well written and sourced. It mostly comes from one book.  But, the Earle Family played a very important role in American History over several generations.  And I think rather than delete all this information, wikipedia would be served better by either merging content into several pertinent articles, or re-writing this article showing relevance for the family’s contribution to American History and adding many more independent citations.  I took several hours to re-write one paragraph and add 5 independent citations on Ralphe Earle the immigrant, but somehow my changes did not update and I did not save a copy.   It will take some time to redo this and add more citations and make this article more fleshed out so that it can stand on its own.  Independent sources are abundant. But, this just hasn’t been developed yet into a good piece of writing yet. user:SoundNotater 17 June 2022  — Preceding undated comment added 08:28, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. While there are several notable members of the family, it is not clear that the family itself is notable as a topic given that there is not significant independent discussion of the family as a topic.  There is not much guidance in our notability guideline for people, but notable family members does not confer notability to a single person.  If we extend these principles to the family as a whole, there would need to be independent coverage of the family, and the only sources I could find are a genealogical family history written by a descendant, and low-quality genealogy website entries.
