[edit] Caroline Mulroney

Being the the daughter of a fairly famous man, marrying the son of a fairly famous man, and having a third fairly famous man sing at the wedding does not a notable person make. Victoriagirl 23:04, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep While I agree with Victoriagirl's implication that these qualifications ought not make somebody notable, it is manifestly true that in some cases, fame suffices to make one notable, and famous relations and big parties sometimes equate to fame itself. Nexis shows 60 hits for Ms. Mulroney in the last two years. Most of these are in Canadian newspapers, but she appeared in WWD and the Las Vegas Review-Journal (Nevada), among other U.S. publications, as well. Uucp 23:15, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

comment: Acknowledging your point, I can't help but note that Caroline Mulroney's name is nearly always followed by "daughter of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney" (or a similar description) - an indication to these eyes that she has no name recognition.

• Delete Only claim to fame is having been the subject of a satirical ad - how many of those are there worldwide? Dlyons493 Talk 00:47, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. "First children" are inherently notable, like Chelsea Clinton or the Bush twins.

comment: With respect, I would argue culture plays a great role in this discussion, the terms "first children", "first lady", "first family" being foreign. I note that none of the current Prime Minister's children have entries in Wiki, nor do any of the previous Prime Minister. One of Caroline Mulroney's siblings, Ben Mulroney, has an article on Wiki, but then he's host of Canadian Idol. Her two other siblings are absent from Wiki.Victoriagirl 03:10, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete: And so I add my vote. Victoriagirl 22:40, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Relationship to notable person not inherently notable. "First Lady", "daughter", "son", "uncle", "pet", etc., is not a Canadianism. Agent 86 22:31, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
