The Beatles&

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete. A pointless page that is part-disamgib/part-list/part article. All of these women, bar one, have their own article and this article does not add anything extra that other articles do not - it's just lumping the infomation together in one place, making WP:FANCRUFT the likely suspect. Without breaking WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS, keeping this article creates a dangerous precedent. Suddenly we'll have The Spice Girls' husbands or Michael Jackson's children, maybe even The Beatles' pets - where do we draw the line? I can see an influx of angry fans on the horizon, so I'd like to remind the closing admin that this is a discussion, not a majority vote. DJ 17:40, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a meaningful group. So they each married a Beatle. Are they more significantly related somehow? No.  Triplestop  x3  17:50, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Even if none of these women had articles, this article would still be nothing but cruft.  TJ   Spyke   22:25, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article works as a list. With the death of George Harrison and John Lennon, the widows have become part of the Beatles legacy, as they represent the interests of the estates of their husbands, so the wives have become more significant as a group.
