Elspeth Campbell
Mild delete as this is a relatively uncertain area. Her claim to notability is as the wife of the leader of a political party. Of all the other British post war third party leaders' wives, the only one with an article is Marion Stein (the second Mrs Jeremy Thorpe) whose notability rests on her musical career rather than her marriage. There are no articles on Sarah Kennedy (that page is for another woman), Jane Ashdown, Deborah Owen, Jennifer Jenkins, Laura Grimond or Caroline Thorpe. Timrollpickering 17:20, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - I would say mildly notable as the wife of one of Britain's 3 largest parties. I see no harm in having an article on her. --UpDown 17:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge a brief description to Menzies Campbell. Plausible search term, but no obvious claim to notability. --Dhartung | Talk 19:53, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable for her father and husband and as the article states she has input into her husband's career. Also is a personality in her own right. Has multiple non-trivial references so keep Kernel Saunters 23:37, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Notability is not transferable. Just knowing (or sleeping with) somebody notable is not notability. --Dhartung | Talk 04:41, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Multiple good ref's mean she meets the basic criteria - she is notable in her own right Kernel Saunters 09:23, 22 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep per coverage from significant sources.  Just like Laura Bush or any other first lady, I think the significant coverage puts her past WP:N Corpx 03:34, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
