Delete - Contested prod. Article was created on the basis of the invalid criteria listed at WP:BIO. Relationships do not confer notability. The subject did nothing that would qualify herself under WP:BIO, and, again, the article was created on the basis that she was the eldest daughter of John D. Rockefeller.

 * some people are so notable that there is in fact interest in their children. She'll be covered substantially in all the books about John D, Sr, and about the family; multiple sections in Nevin's standard John D. Rockefeller : the heroic age of American enterprise As well she should be: He left her 25 million dollars in trust for her, probably making her one of the wealthiest  women in the world at the time.

 * Keep - notable as a philanthropist in her own right. Bearian (talk) 20:01, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-notable member of notable family. Fails WP:N, as she is not the primary subject of any sources provided. Most rich kids are occasional philanthropists; so what? Not every member of this family is notable, but somebody seems to have decided to create a stub about every darned one of them. Notability, need I remind anyone, is not hereditable. -- Orange Mike  |  Talk  20:13, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * keep per DGG and Bearian. It shouldn't be at all hard to find the sourcing in that material. JoshuaZ (talk) 02:09, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is agreed that enough significant coverage exists to pass WP:N. SorryGuy Talk  06:24, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
