Lillian Gordy Carter
Mother of Jimmy Carter. Not notable in her own right. TheCoffee 00:51, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Immediate family of a U.S. President is borderline notability it its own right. Pburka 01:01, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. Denni &#9775; 01:25, 2005 July 17 (UTC)
 * Keep, we keep first ladies, I mean all they did was be married to the president, no? Not to mention we keep the Kennedy and Bush political families... Redwolf24 01:34, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep My memory of the Carter years (confirmed by Google) is that Lillian Carter had significant notability and was used by the Carter administration on a number of diplomatic missions particularly to India.--Porturology 01:37, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Memorable as mother of Jimmy Carter and is of some note both for her membership of the Peace Corps in Indiaat age 68 and her role as a nurse. A nursing school at Emory University is named after her. I will expand this article after lunch. Capitalistroadster 01:52, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Revolución 02:30, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Send to clean up: There is no article here.  This has birth and death dates and an indication that she was Jimmy Carter's mother.  There is nothing in this article that couldn't be gotten by a redirect to Jimmy Carter.  Unless it actually has a biography, it performs less than zero function on Wikipedia.

 * Keep She was prominent at the time, future generations will need to look her up. -EDM 03:47, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Have expanded article with biography and references. No change of vote from Keep. Capitalistroadster 03:49, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Important person behind important person. She has been noted by many, including at least one president of the United States.  The current wording of the article is as good or better than most the same type and size.  --rob 04:07, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Capitalistroadster. -- BD2412 talk 04:09, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I would not automatically regard all close relatives of presidents as notable, but my recollection is that she did have a significant profile during her son's time as president. PatGallacher 11:13, 2005 July 17 (UTC)
 * Keep. Author as well as presidential mother.  Almafeta 13:07, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge. Notability is personal, doesn't rub off to relatives. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 13:19, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Capitalistroadster and PatGallacher. Dcarrano 18:13, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - Inherently notable --Irishpunktom\talk 19:16, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't think relatives of famous people are inherently notable, but she did enough to make the cut. Gamaliel 19:20, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Enough notability. JamesBurns 03:36, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Accomplishments in addition to being a relative of the president. --Scimitar parley 16:13, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
