 * Also nominated: Margaret A. Merritt

Tagged as a speedy candidate for A7 (no assertion of notability), but being the grandfather of Jacquline Kennedy Onassis is arguably an assertion of notability. My interpretation of A7 is stricter than this, it was mostly meant to target vanity articles on friends, relatives or oneself, and this article seems to be neither. With that said, I think that the notability of a relative two steps away from the first lady is dubious since Wikipedia is not a genealogy database. Submitting to AFD to review this article.

 * Comment Is redirecting Articles for deletion/Margaret A. Merritt to this section really the Right Thing? AlexTiefling 12:28, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Basically, the same arguments would probably apply. In both cases the chief assertion of notability is being a grandparent to a US First Lady. Shared nominations for similar articles where the outcome will almost certainly apply to both articles are fairly common. Sjakkalle (Check!)  12:30, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all per nom, no notability apart from being a relative. Currently listed for speedy deletion are John Vernou Bouvier II, another grandparent, and William Sergeant Bouvier, an uncle, who offer no notability apart from the relationship. Nuttah68 12:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete for both. Definitely doesnt meet A7. GringoInChile 12:56, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. An completely non-notable. Spinach Dip 22:02, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete both per nom as not notable. Notability is not inherited, nor does it pass up the chain to one's parents and grandparents. Both articles are essentially identical, and are at bes merger candidates. Ohconfucius 03:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
