Ruth McCartney

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Cannot find WP:SIGCOV. It seems likely that this article only exists because she is the step-sister of Paul McCartney, and WP:BLPRELATED applies. Tacyarg (talk) 17:02, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep as Merge is difficult. This is a difficult one. Easily available coverage doesn't look good. There are passing mentions. A major article discussing tapes she made is in the Daily Mail which is a tabloid and should be treated with caution. (Note: not definitely not used as a reference, but treated with caution.) However in books she is mentioned much more often. E.g. there is quite a bit of information discussing her, not just trivial mentions, in Paul McCartney: The Life By Philip Norman. Less impressively she's also discussed in Blackbird: the life and times of Paul McCartney by Geoffrey Guiliano. I think the problem is this: There is enough to justify inclusion of Ruth McCartney within Wikipedia, but I believe that this should be in an article on the McCartney family. However, the page on Jim McCartney redirects to a page on the parents of Paul McCartney, Jim and Mary McCartney. I'm not sure that including Jim McCartney's second marriage in this page works. I believe that there should be some sort of merge into a McCartney family page, but that this requires proper planning of how the McCartney extended family will be represented. I'd support Merge if someone is going to put the work in to do this properly, but oppose Ruth McCartney being deleted in the interim.  Ross-c (talk) 18:17, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
