Delete Not independently notable per WP:BIO. First deletion was closed prematurely, but I didn't see to reopen it because it was a month old. The first closer was not an admin and closed it several days early. He was shortly blocked thereafter. Strothra (talk) 03:36, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, notability is not inherited. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 04:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Aside from a post-closure edit, there is nothing obviously irregular with the previous AfD. The debate was closed after 5½ days by a now-retired admin and the logs show no block. • Gene93k (talk) 05:34, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yikes! Thanks for pointing that out! I had glanced at the comment made by Maplewooddrive and thought that was the closure. That's what I get for skimming. --Strothra (talk) 06:37, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Keep - A President of the United States was born in her house which is now a historic site. Americasroof (talk) 14:00, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Delete Being the grandparent of a president is not in itself notable. The information here could be put on the Gerald_R._Ford_Birthsite_and_Gardens page. Alberon (talk) 14:32, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per notability not being inherited. Precedent has long established that simply being a family member of a notable person is not notability in itself. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:00, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Well apparently its a judgement call, and my judgement is that the grandparent of a US president is notable. The question depends of first the relationship, and second the importance of the primary figure. Grandparent counts to me as a very close relative, and the second factor is unquestionable.  I wouldnt accept 2nd cousin of a president, or grandparent of a Senator. ,DGG (talk) 09:05, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
