Ermengarde of Nevers

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article is sourced only to a 20th-century genealogical publication. Being part of a long genealogy of notable people does not make one notable. She seems to have held no position of power or government, and notability is not inherited from either her father or her son. Wikipedia is not a genealogical database. This article dates back to 2004, a time when Wikipedia had virtually no inclusion criteria, and was essentially a free-for all wild west of mass article creation. With this article having existed for 16 years, you find it in a lot of Wikipedia mirrors, and she shows up on multiple genealogical sites like Family Search and Ancestry, although in the user created databases and not in the primary records places, at least not on my initial search. Ancestry and Family Search rarely produce records that would actually show notability. Just because we know someones name, who they married, and who their child was does not make them notable enough to have an article in Wikipedia.

 * Delete No effective referencing. There is no real sources, if there were refs they would be there. The Gbook stuff is the same, marriage, passing mentions.   scope_creep Talk  08:28, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
