Elias Disney

 * For a related discussion see .

Father of Walt and Roy Disney. Other than his famous offspring, he himself is not notable. &mdash;tregoweth (talk) 23:32, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keepbut involve more information. Include the influence Elias had on Walt's future (Disney World) due to Elias's involvement in the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.
 * Keep but tag for cleanup. I'd say Walt Disney's father was notable, but the article needs to cite its sources. --DaveG12345 23:44, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Father of Walt Disney notable enough IMO. Agree with DaveG, need source citations. snug 00:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: So all parents of famous people qualify for articles? &mdash;tregoweth (talk) 15:24, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I think parents (and children) of sufficiently famous people do qualify. Walt Disney is pretty famous, really, Giga-famous.  snug 02:41, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. The article doesn't even say what his occupation was after 1911. --Metropolitan90 01:48, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Hence tag for cleanup? --DaveG12345 02:54, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Being the father of a notable figure doesn't make you notable unless you yourself did something else noteworthy. --Coredesat 09:53, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Relatives of famous people are not inherently notable Bwithh 18:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. If we accept the premise that notable people's fathers are also notable in their own right, then surely Elias Disney's father is also notable, as is *his* father and so on. Markb 11:50, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Coredesat. If people were noteworthy just for having kids.... Inner Earth 13:33, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. definitely seems important. --JJay 22:23, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, he had a very noteworthy child. Seems relevant for a keep. JohnnyBGood    t   c  VIVA! 23:26, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, interesting information, but sources should be provided. Yamaguchi先生 07:05, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
