Non-notable person, fails WP:BIO. Being the great-grandfather of JFK is not sufficient reason for inclusion, and Wikipedia is not a genealogical database.  A r k y a n  &#149; (talk) 19:33, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. Asserting that a person is related to notable people is not the same as asserting that a person is notable.  Thus, the article contains no assertion of notability.  It was notability tagges over two months ago, leaving plenty of time for such an assertion to be added.  It never has been.  CSD A7 and so tagged.  Mwelch 23:27, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Very Weak keep For some very few extremely notable figures notability does accrue to progenitors. Whether JFK's is enough for a great-grandfather is obviously a matter of dispute, and thus not suitable for a speedy. Considering the Kennedy cult, it is possible that there are sources. And afd tends to bring them out much better than a notability tag. DGG 05:15, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. I am sure it would be possible to find out the names of Albert Einstein's 8 great-grandparents, or indeed his 16 great-great-grandparents but that doesn't mean that there should be articles on them. Jll 21:40, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
