Fails WP:GNG. Only sources are references to books about William McKinley or Ida McKinley, plus Findagrave (she's buried with her sister and parents), and probably could be merged to the Ida article.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:47, 13 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge and Redirect to Ida_Saxton_McKinley. A 3-year-old is hard to establish independent notability and the amount of content would be a perfect fit for the Ida article which has an empty section about the children. -- Green  C  01:04, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * I think being a child of a U.S. president is sufficient criteria for establishing notability. 47.137.183.192 (talk) 01:57, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Notability requires verifiable evidence (WP:NRVE) and being the relative of a famous person is not reason enough for a standalone article (WP:INVALIDBIO). A redirect would be appropriate. --  Green  C  02:35, 13 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge and Redirect to Ida_Saxton_McKinley per . Hmlarson (talk) 02:39, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to William McKinley. Surely the redirect should be to the more famous parent. A child who died very young does not need an article. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:14, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The father is a Featured Article and merging that amount of content would be problematic/impossible. The mother can be a simple copy-paste with no loss of content. The redirect probably should go to wherever the most content about the child is available. -- Green  C  13:59, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Ida McKinley is also the one who seems to have suffered long-term health effects from the loss of the children, and health hindered her performance as First Lady. It would seem more reasonable to put it in her article.--Wehwalt (talk) 15:15, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
