"Little appears to be known of Bayly other than in connection to Hamilton." Notability is not inherited, she fails WP:N/WP:BIO by several miles. TRAVELLINGCARI My storyTell me yours 21:55, 24 February 2008 (UTC) *Strong keep This article provides information and insight into the personal life of Hamilton, which is almost totally neglected in the article on him. Since he is a world rank mathematician by any standard, this information about his life is worth knowing. Furthermore, I get the impression Helen Bayly may have been an extraordinary person to have lived with him for so many years. He does not seem to have been easy to live with. More information about this relationship is needed, not less. Wanderer57 (talk) 18:24, 28 February 2008 (UTC) Withdraw comments. Wanderer57 (talk) 04:45, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Famous mathematician's wife, nothing else. Being in the presence of someone coming up with a theory does not confer notability, and much of this is speculative rubbish about their marriage. --Dhartung | Talk 22:36, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * comment that information, if verifiable, belongs in his article. Hers should be about her, except there isn't any information about her. TRAVELLINGCARI My storyTell me yours 18:54, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
