List of famous teenage parents

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is another list of people grouped together by a non-defining characteristic. The only link between the people in this article is that they had a child before the age of 20, and none of them seem to have become notable as a result of having done this. The inclusion of people from societies and historical periods where it was normal to have had children before the age of 20 alongside people from societies where this isn't common reinforces that this is an indiscriminate collection of information. It's also odd that everone on the list is female... Nick Dowling (talk) 09:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Notability isn't inherited. If they are notable enough on their own, then let them have their own article.  Pharmboy (talk) 15:38, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: Each of them, in fact, does have an article; there isn't a redlink in the bunch.   RGTraynor  17:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Could you please explain why you think that that means that the article shouldn't be deleted? I'm not argueing that the people on the list aren't notable - it's my view that this is a meaningless grouping. --Nick Dowling (talk) 06:43, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply: Which is entirely your personal POV. "Notable teenage parents" is scarcely meaningless; that's quite well-defined, as much so as any other list.  I'm also perplexed by your argument that broad citations from times and places that didn't view this as unusual makes this an indiscriminate list ... surely failing to do so would?
