 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As far as I can see it, every detail in this article apart from the exact date in June of her birth is covered in the article for her father George McGovern. There was no need to split this article out. HornetMike (talk) 21:37, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - Notability is not inherited. This is pretty much a textbook case of that situation. Carrite (talk) 00:08, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - long profiles in major news outlets including the Washington post and The New York Times satisfy separate notability concerns. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 01:47, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to George McGovern. Not independently notable; her life was tragic but not especially unusual, and it wouldn't be covered by the media if it wasn't for her father. Normally being subject of a full-length book would meet WP:BIO but if that book is written by your father it can't be considered an independent source. (I suggest a redirect because she or the Teresa McGovern Center may be a plausible search term; I have no opinion on the center's notability.) --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:01, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect I agree with Colapeninsula here. -- Glaisher  [talk]  10:04, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sources WP:GNG. Book, newspaper articlesWashington PostDesert News many more. Although the book is by her father, the book is notable on its own terms easily meeting NBOOK (multiple reviews), it's hard to see how a book could be notable but the subject of the book not be. WP:INHERIT is for arguments to avoid during an AfD, no one has made the argument of inheritance, the INHERIT essays does not censor or invalidate actual sources, only arguments made during AfD. Ultimately this can be kept simply by renaming to Terry: My Daughter's Life-and-Death Struggle with Alcoholism and adding 3 or 4 book reviews, but prefer to keep a standard biography as it will allow adding new information that appeared after the book. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 05:55, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
