The Branches of the Cahill Family

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article which starts out reading like a bunch of WP:HOAXy nonsense, but finally offhandedly reveals that it's about a family of characters in a series of speculative fiction novels. The problem, however, is that it's written primarily like an in-unverse genealogy, and provides no real-world context or reliable sourcing to demonstrate why they would need a standalone article as a separate topic from The 39 Clues itself. Every individual character (or even family) in a novel is not automatically a suitable topic for a separate article in its own right, and nothing written or sourced here suggests that this one is more notable than the norm. Delete, or redirect to The 39 Clues. Bearcat (talk) 17:32, 31 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge and Redirect This article is part of The 39 Clues. The information from this article would do well in either the article for The 39 Clues or the article entitled List of The 39 Clues characters, since it is specifically about character groups in the series.

 * Merge + Redirect to The 39 Clues. Some of the information might be worth salvaging and re-inserting there. GABHello! 17:52, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete actually as I would've also considered closing this as such since this seems obvious but there's also simply nothing to actually suggest keeping this at the history logs and there's certainly nothing for its own article. SwisterTwister   talk  03:51, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Completely unsourced article, not even referenced to the fictional works it refers to. As a second choice, redirect to List of The 39 Clues characters. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:10, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
