Oracene Price

This article does not satisfy WP:Notable. The mere fact that Oracene Price is the mother of Serena Williams and Venus Williams and one of their coaches does not make an article about Price "notable". Tennis expert (talk) 16:58, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep No, the mere fact she's the Williams sisters' mother doesn't make an article notable. It can't it is subjects that are notable, not articles. She's notable because multiple sources discussed her, because she's a notable tennis coach and because there are plenty of sources to base a full biography off. - Mgm|(talk) 10:59, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Oracene Price's notability has been established by the sources cited in the article, and she is a long-time coach to two historic tennis players. Alonsornunez (talk) 14:36, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, as per Mgm and Alonsornunez. Price is the coach of two of the best tennis players ever.  I don't think this is a particularly close call.  The article would probably satisfy WP:Notable even if she were only known as Venus's and Serena's mother.  GreenGourd (talk) 14:51, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - there seems to be a lack of information as to why she would be notable other than being the mother of the Williams sisters... per WP:NOTINHERITED, "parent notability should be established independently; notability is not inherited "up", from notable subordinate to parent"... what has she done in her life (that had nothing to do with her children) that would cause her to be notable? Is she a famous tennis coach for someone other than her daughters? If independent notability can be shown, it would really help the outcome of this discussion... - Adolphus79 (talk) 15:42, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep-- The matter is simple, she has been the subject of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" meeting WP:N. --J.Mundo (talk) 02:41, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
