Kepple Disney
AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable person. Notability is not inherited. This has gone through Afd (actually VfD) once, and the overwhelming consensus was delete. It was redirected to Elias Disney, but has since been unredirected and recreated. Corvus cornix 16:47, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete on notability grounds - I don't see how a being notable makes one's grandfather notable. However, it sounds like the article meets WP:CSD, "Recreation of deleted material." — Travis talk  17:23, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * ...and do not redirect. Since he has no notability, there should not be a redirect, either. — Travis talk  14:05, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete or Redirect per nom. Notability is not inherited. More importantly, if you look at the history, this article has essentially the exact same text as the deleted version. This might actually meet "db-repost" speedy delete criteria. Smashville 17:49, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a lovely genealogical entry for ancestry.com but not for Wikipedia. --Hanging Jack 18:10, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --Moonriddengirl 18:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Does this really need an AfD?  Why not just re-create the redirect? --UsaSatsui 22:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually - this is a good point. Did this need to be resubmitted? The page was merely reposted and no one caught it. Does it need to go back to afd? Notability was the reason for the close...and he's been dead for 110 years. He's not getting any more notable. Smashville 00:13, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to the Disney family or merge with Walt's article per nom JForget 22:27, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. not even really worth a merge as there is practically no notability; I can't even imagine this as a search term for anyone unrelated. Wikipedia is not a genealogy site and entries must have some notability. --Dhartung | Talk 22:59, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete since notability does not transfer to one's ancestors. Kepple Disney on his own fails WP:N and WP:BIO. A sentence or so in the Walt Disney article would suffice to cover Elias as well as Kepple. Edison 06:10, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete if he's only famous through his grandson. J I P  | Talk 10:06, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
