 *  Delete Merge to John Travolta. Jett Travolta is not notable in his own right (WP:NOTINHERITED). His unfortunate death constitutes WP:ONEEVENT. This was a contested speedy delete. WWGB (talk) 05:01, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Is covered internationally in newspapers around the world, thereby providing no shortage of Wikipedia:reliable sources. His death, which is among the main news items for several days, is already having various effects, including raising awareness for epilepsy and Kawasaki disorder.

 * Merge and protect to John Travolta. This is a clear case of WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:ONEEVENT: the only reason that his death is getting this much press coverage, as opposed to the average person who suffered from Kawasaki disease or died from a seizure, is the notability of the parents, not the child.

 * Merge and protect to John Travolta Zzyzx11's reasoning is very persuasive. No other notability. --Bejnar (talk) 06:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and protect to John Travolta as above. Other than occasional references to his health issues, Jett was largely out of the public eye for his entire life. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:50, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and protect to John Travolta Zzyzx11 basically said it all. He's only known because he died and that is only a result of his parents being notable. Children without any notability of their own are regularly merged in article about their parents.- Mgm|(talk) 10:10, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
