Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barron Trump (2nd nomination)

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 redirect to Family of Donald Trump#Barron Trump. Per the autocount, we have 24 keep, 24 redirect, 14 merge and 3 delete. This gives us, numerically, a majority but not yet consensus to omit the article.

Looking at the arguments made, the basic argument for not to have an article is the guideline WP:INVALIDBIO which covers our practice that notability is not inherited: a person must be the subject of substantial coverage in their own right to merit an article. To counter that argument, the "keep" side would have to point to such coverage in reliable sources. However, with very few exceptions, the "keep" opinions do not do that; instead, most of them merely assert (rather than attempt to demonstrate) notability, with statements such as "very notable", "he is intrinsically notable", "Hes [sic] member of Trump family" or "is more notable than the many minor children of the British royal family". In the light of the previously mentioned guideline, such assertions must be given less weight when assessing consensus.

Accordingly, I conclude that after weighing the strength of the arguments made in the light of our rules and practices, we have consensus to redirect the page to the family article, and to leave it up to editors' subsequent consensus about whether and which content to merge from the history.  Sandstein  10:04, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
