Frederick Frelinghuysen (lawyer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable. True, he is related to notable people -- which is what most of the article is about (plus, his non-notable life). But notability is not inherited. Was PRODed, but an editor (who edits other Frelinghuysen articles) removed the PROD. Same as the article at the related Frelinghuysen article, at the AFD Articles for deletion/John Frelinghuysen Talmage, where the same editor is the only one !voting keep. And see Articles for deletion/George Griswold Frelinghuysen (designer). And see the questionable Frelinghuysen Hall. 2604:2000:E016:A700:A00C:7F46:822D:9F12 (talk) 18:59, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Notability is established by encyclopedic articles in actual printed encyclopedias about the subject. Alansohn (talk) 02:09, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello. I'm the nom. One of those is not an article about him, but instead a mention in an article that is about his family, not about him. It just has bare non-notable information on him. The other is difficult for me to see in full. But apparently also has only non-notable information. Is a person notable who has done nothing notable, and is not mentioned in any notable way by multiple resources, but just their family members and school and occupation and dates of birth and death? Half this article is his tombstone inscription, which despite coi does not mention anything notable either. 2604:2000:E016:A700:7893:FEC5:FDBE:5726 (talk) 10:49, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. This person was a non-notable attorney who died at 33 in 1820.  Created as a suite of article on the family.  Sources do not support HIS notability.  --Lockley (talk) 19:33, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm not seeing anything notable that would warrant keeping this article. Perhaps a fresh way of looking at this is let's say you added Wiki-links from his more notable relatives' articles to this one.  If you followed such a link, expecting some notability, wouldn't you be disappointed?  TimTempleton (talk)  (cont)  00:03, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't think there's even enough significance here to warrant a redirect. Being the member of a famous family is not in and of itself notable.  Onel 5969  TT me 00:52, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
