[edit] Sam Travolta

Few minor film roles mostly in films starring brother John Travolta or directed by or starring brother Joey Travolta. Arniep 15:49, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Not the most famous member of the family, but still notable. Paramountpr 17:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Appearing in small parts in a few movies that your brothers are starring in or directing doesn't make yourself notable enough for an encyclopedia. Please also note the above user has very few edits mostly to Travolta articles Special:Contributions/Paramountpr. Arniep 20:22, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Being related to other celebrities does not neccessarily make one notable; it may help in notability, but it can not be the only standard. If you eliminate Sam Travolta's relationship to the more notable members of the Travolta family, his personal achievements do not warrant an entry at this juncture. Perhaps with further source citation a different opinion could be rendered. At this juncture, though, he must be deemed not notable. Cokenotpepsi 13:58, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

• Note this user has only made edits in relation to other Travolta articles Special:Contributions/Cokenotpepsi. Arniep 00:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Delete Aint no Travolta that matters but John Travolta. All others should be deleted because they all hangers on and shadow riders. Aint no love. EraserX 15:46, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

• Note that this user has only edited articles regarding people with the last name Travolta. Seems like a sock. -- Zanimum 23:56, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

There doesn't seem to be any evidence that this user is a sock puppet of anybody Special:Contributions/EraserX. They just seem to believe that only John Travolta is notable enough for an encyclopedia article in the Travolta family which seems a perfectly reasonable opinion. Arniep 00:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep, minor actor with a reasonable list of credits. User:Zoe|^(talk) 01:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Surely if he was really notable he would be able to get parts not in movies starring or directed by his brothers? Arniep 02:08, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Not notable. Let's try to keep a lid on these types of articles. Madman 16:40, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into Travolta family. -- Visviva 16:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Minor actor playing peripheral parts. - Hahnchen 00:42, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete There really isn't much information on Sam Travolta out there. I couldn't even find a birthdate on him. There are really only four members of the Travolta family that appear to have any individual fame or notability: John, Rikki Lee, Ellen, and Joey. Others only have claim to notability based on relationship to those four, or for the most part to John. I don't see Sam having notability to warrant an article. I tried to look for sources that list his name on the internet and couldn't come up with much. I would suggest Merge into Travolta Family, but again outside of the four individuals, the family may not be notable enough for a page itself. KingJamesCav 11:44, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
