 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. While there are several !votes in favor of merging, there is little consideration of what content is worth salvaging, and where it should go. Anyone interested in developing this towards a merger is welcome to ask for a refund on my talk page; the target of any redirect can be determined via talk page discussion. There is clear consensus here that a standalone article should not exist. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:13, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Theodore Roosevelt V

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability is not inherited, and TR-V has no independent notability of his own. Famous name, sure, but there's no real significant coverage that's independent of the subject. Mentions in genealogical lists, listings from organizations where he works or serves on the board, and wedding announcements doth not SIGCOV make. The Fortune article about Lehman Brothers mentions him in one line - not SIGCOV. Another piece, in the Times - is SIGCOV about a ring, not about TR-V. schetm (talk) 17:43, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete America does not have a notability. Being part of a family where some members were notable does not give every member notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:45, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge to Roosevelt family, which should cover this. BD2412  T 18:09, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I've been on the fence on him before, but after giving some further thought have concluded that he isn't really known for much of his own merit if anything (i.e. outside of Roosevelt family affiliations). Furthermore, brief mentions in the press aren't sufficient coverage to warrant a page. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 18:13, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge—If deleting the page, some of the content and sources should be added to the associated entry within Roosevelt family. —ADavidB 18:20, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to his father's article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.110.217.186 (talk) 05:42, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to his father's article. That's not my IP, above, I just happen to agree that there's more detail in the article that's worth keeping than would be normal in the Roosevelt Family article KevinCuddeback (talk) 20:43, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm in favor of details being merged into his father's article as well as the family one. —ADavidB 01:30, 13 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete Being related to a notable person does not make anybody notable. Alex-h (talk) 08:16, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable. While there is a lot of content in the article, notability is barely even asserted.  I would be strongly against merging into either his father's article or especially Roosevelt family.  If a person does not have independent notability, then their biography is not suitable for the encyclopedia.  This is in contrast to sourced non-notable non-person articles which can be integrated into larger notable topics. At most a few sentences in his father's article would be appropriate if they can be sourced.--Michael WhiteT&middot;C
