Lionel Messi's family

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Well, that looks like textbook WP:INHERITED WP:INVALIDBIO, even if newspapers sources specifically about family members could likely be found. The only plausible claim to keep is a sizesplit of Lionel Messi, to which maybe parts of the article could be merged. Tigraan Click here to contact me 10:43, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2016 September 20.  —cyberbot I   Talk to my owner :Online 10:53, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect to Lionel Messi. Unnecessary fork, and most of the article is about him anyway. Neiltonks (talk) 16:25, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect to Lionel Messi as per . Lourdes  17:17, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - could you clarify what should be merged and where? I feel there is already more than due weight in Lionel_Messi, sometimes bordering on WP:TRIVIA. (See User:Mangojuice/Administrators_are_not_slaves.)  Tigraan Click here to contact me 10:54, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
 * , the !vote of merge is to allow the editors frequenting the articles, post the close of the afd, to decide what to merge. The discussion on the contents of the target article should perhaps take place on the talk page of the target article. If there is trivia on the target page as you mention, then one can have discussions on the talk page of the target article thereon. But that in no way precludes the opportunity to editors to salvage any material that may seem significant from the article being merged. That is, if the Afd is finally closed as a merge. Of course, the Afd can also alternatively be closed as a Redirect without deleting article history, which would allow interested users to merge the past contents from the redirected article's history. And while what you are referring to is an essay by an editor, what you should actually refer to is Merging, which rightly advises, "It is the involved editors' job, not the closing administrators' job, to perform the merger." Hope that helps. Lourdes  12:21, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
