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

Article does not meet GNG or NBIO. No indication of notability. Sources are not SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth.  // Timothy :: talk  02:15, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment Nominator has nominated ten articles for various members of the Jamaican branch of the Lindo family with identical or near identical nomination rationales. The articles appear to range in sourcing quality from unsourced to well sourced. Question for nominator: have you checked offline sources such as The Lindo Legacy (cited in several of the articles)? Presumably a book specifically covering this branch of the family would contain significant coverage for many of these articles. Jfire (talk) 04:56, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * User:Jfire, the review of that book that you point to here states that a family descendant commissioned the book. While I suppose that the book could be used as a source of facts, having been commissioned greatly reduces it as a proof of notability. Lamona (talk) 02:30, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Procedural Keep The nominator nominated 8 articles of members on the Lindo family in a 10 minute span and used the exact word-for-word deletion rationale for all of them. Of the subjects with "No indication of notability", least 3 were members of Jamaican Parliament and one was the Governor of Dominica for seven years. If the nominator would provide an article-specific rationale I will consider changing my vote but currently this looks like a mass-AfD with little WP:BEFORE research or even reading of the articles that are being nominated. Best, GPL93 (talk) 17:35, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete The article adds nothing to what one could discover on ancestry.com. If the article told a story, that would satisfy me.  Who's your uncle does not confer notability. Rhadow (talk) 23:18, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. For the reasons stated in the nomination. But it's borderline, in my opinion. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 02:13, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
