Valentine 'The Huguenot' Sevier

Implicitly contested prod. The subject's only claim to notability is that he is the grandfather of John Sevier. The creator does not appear receptive to the suggestion that a simple mention could be made in the article about his grandson. Delete or Redirect.

 * Delete. Notability isn't transferable. Niteshift36 (talk) 05:17, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No assertion of notability. Fails WP:BIO. Johnuniq (talk) 10:10, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a notable topic - only claim to fame is fathering the father of John Sevier. Although at one point I did redirect to John Sevier (reverted by article creator) I do not now think that this is appropriate--Elen of the Roads (talk) 15:56, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: Unfortunately, the author has had difficulty reading the pedigree display in Rootsweb, which was his original source (it's not the easiest of displays, but I spend quite a bit of time hanging around ancestry sites). Valentin 'the Huguenot' from France, fled to London, is the father of Valentin 'The Immigrant', from London, emigrated to the New World, who was the father of John - the famous guy.  He has persistently mixed up the two Valentin's on both this article and John Sevier - in this article, half the information is about 'The Huguenot' and half about 'The Immigrant'.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 16:03, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
