Priddy family (Sierra Leone)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article has lacked proper sources since its creation in 2008. The only ref confirms that one individual held the family name but offers no support for the substance of the article. Notability of the topic is not established. Mccapra (talk) 22:33, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep there are loads of sources if you just search "Priddy family", Sierra Leone. There are also lots of sources about this family elsewhere in the Americas. I don't know however whether they are the same extend family brought back to Africa after abolition. From what I can guarge from the sources, although I haven't examined them in detail, I suspect this might be the case. Either way, I think this article is notable and should be expanded.

 * Comment. If I search for “Priddy family Sierra Leone” all I find is this article and its mirror on Wikivisually. If I search for “Priddy family” I come up with a number of ancestry and genealogy sites about a family in Somerset, but nothing about Sierra Leone. If anyone is finding lots of sources from these searches could they please add them to the article? Mccapra (talk) 03:56, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete -- The article is ultimately the result of the family having one notable member, a medic, who had a fellowship in a British Royal College (professional regulatory association) and an obituary in a professional journal. I am not clear how notable that person was, but that certainly does not mean that the family to which he belonged is  also notable.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:45, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: As not notable and not inherited. The article states "...one of the most successful settler families...", with one source that is used on Ebun Willie Robert Gorham Priddy, so there is absolutely no indication of such "family" notability. Otr500 (talk) 08:29, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SIGCOV and 's reasons. There's a single source, possibly self-published, about this family. Only one member is notable, and he has an article. Only when multiple members are notable (for example, the Adamses, Windsors, or Jacksons) does the family get its own article. Bearian (talk) 21:38, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
