Sally Gates was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was to delete.

Article states that "Sally William Gates" is Bill Gates' daughter born Nov. 20, 2004. I suspect this person isn't real. Several Google News searches turn up nothing, and a regular Google search for "bill gates" "sally gates" returns nothing relevant (mostly links to a joke where "Sally" is Bill's mother). I've heard nothing in the news about Melinda Gates being pregnant. If this is real, perhaps someone can expand the article with an explanation of why the Gateses decided to give birth to their daughter overseas (as implied by the birth date) and give her a masculine middle name.

 * Delete, hoax. If we're wrong, we can always undelete it. Doesn't meet the speedy deletion criteria, I'm afraid. Oh, wait, it does: Vandalism, specifically silly and/or sneaky vandalism. Poof. If the author chooses provide adequate evidence that this article is true, I will undelete it and apologize. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 01:21, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. I wasn't aware that Microsoft was a monarchy; as long as it isn't, a zero-year-old Gates is not notable, even if she exists. Hoary 08:34, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
