Robert Washington (1545 - 1620

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia is not a geneology site and none of these Washington members are notable in their own right. See other AfDs for this user's pages Etzedek24 (Would it kill ya to leave an edit summary?) 20:47, 6 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete - Being the great-great-great-great grandfather of George Washington is not notable. There are no other claims of notability in the article, nor do my own searches turn up any indication of notability. -- Whpq (talk) 21:16, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTINHERITED. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:43, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per Whpq. Also, the article has no sources. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:13, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment/possible speedy delete: There's no CSD criteria this would fit under, correct? Etzedek24 (Would it kill ya to leave an edit summary?) 04:55, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Correct (unless the creator is a sock of a banned user, for which I see no evidence). It is not a hoax, made up, or gibberish, and it does give a statement why the subject is notable (even if the claimed basis for notability is not a valid one).  Anyhow, it is too late now.  Once an AfD begins, speedy requests are usually rejected.  The only possible way of shortening the process now is an early close based on WP:SNOW. One thing you could have done is to include all of the Washington deletions under a single AfD. Agricolae (talk) 11:29, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete I shudder to think the mess Wikipedia would become if we started including such geneological articles. We may have a few, but this is one of the worst cases. Nothing of substance is said at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:29, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per TNT, lack of sources, and this individual does not seem notable in a BEFORE (beyond brief coverage of ancestorship).Icewhiz (talk) 12:13, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:31, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - he's one of many remote ancestors of a famous descendant. Bearian (talk) 20:22, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - As with other similar nominated articles this individual is not notable in his own right and the article basically just says he was the great-great-great-great grandfather of George Washington and so is not really serving any useful purpose. Dunarc (talk) 22:43, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
