Tagg Romney

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Simple case of "notability is not inherited". Held several ordinary jobs before working for his father's presidential campaign, making a small handful of talking head-type news appearances on his behalf. One WaPo story on the brothers' blogging doesn't cut it for notability for Tagg. Not even really worth a redirect, IMO, he just hasn't done anything worth searching for.

 * Comment Regarding the redirect, it's not for us to judge what readers should be searching for; the fact is if they are searching for a topic and we have related content, it's our job to get them to it. I agree on the whole that this topic's notability is derivative and it doesn't merit its own article, but would suggest an approach like Malia Obama and Family of Barack Obama as the best solution.

 * Delete Doesn't appear to have done anything notable, just worked ordinary jobs and happens to be related to a well-known politician. It looks 4 of Sarah Palin's 5 children are redirects, so we seem to have some precedent for judging that just getting media coverage as the family member of a candidate for political office doesn't make one notable. r ʨ anaɢ (talk) 14:51, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Mitt Romney, where he is already mentioned. This should be a straight redirect, with no deletion and no merge needed. If Tagg becomes notable in his own right beyond WP:NOTINHERITED, or if Mitt becomes president and Tagg does inherit notability that way, the redirect can be turned back into a proper article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:14, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete worked for Mitt's campaign as a surrogate but is not independently notable by sigificant coverage standards. Notability is not inherited, as the nominator stated. Hekerui (talk) 20:38, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
