Wilder family

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I believe this article does not meet the notability criteria, WP:NOTINHERITED. The members of the Wilder family are not important in their own right, but only as being related to Laura Ingalls Wilder and being mentioned in her books. The article contains no references to reliable independent sources about members of the family. Information on her family could be included on the author's page, but not as a standalone article.

 * Delete No indication that any of these people are notable in their own right, and without that they don't belong here. Collecting a bunch of WP:BLP stubs together and grouping them into a single article (which is essentially what this is) doesn't make the subjects any more notable. The only significant attribute they have is being related to the author, and therefore appearing in her books, but notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. Neiltonks (talk) 13:54, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete No indication of the people here being notable. I also have grave reservations about speculation on why Wilder did not mention her oldest sister-in-law in her works when that speculation is not backed by reliable sources. On the other hand, since all the peoplelisted in this artcie are dead, there are no biographies of living people (BLP) issues raised by it. However nothing justifies this exhaustive article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:37, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
