[edit] Sean Federline

I contend it to be both not notable and presently inappropriate. The kid has not even been given a name officially yet! Neither Madonna's children nor Michael Jackson's children have articles, so I fail to see how this can be justified. So, delete Cyberjunkie | Talk 04:30, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

I've struck part of my comment. It appears the child has in fact been named. Nevertheless, I don't believe it is deserved of an article.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 05:22, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Redirected to Britney Spears, altho that article claims an "unconfirmed report" of the child's name. I think this should be speedily deleted if the name turns out to be incorrect. Redirect was reverted, so consider this a "vote" in favor of a Redirect to Britney Spears. I don't see that it's likely an infant will do something notable, and we only know about him due to his famous mother. Friday (talk) 04:47, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

I have reverted your redirect. You should refrain from doing such whilst a deletion discussion is concurrent. The article does not qualify for speedy deletion, either.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 05:07, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: I'll wait to see what happnes with the article. This is not a speedy, since being Britney's baby is an obvious *claim* of notability. Also, it's against the rules to put a re-direct in the midst of an AFD. Finally msnb is reporting "The couple has chosen Sean Preston as the name for their new son". So, that's slightly more than speculation. This article is entitled to a proper 5 five day vote, based on this. --rob 04:56, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Sorry if I broke a rule, but I don't see that the notice says not to redirect. I've seen it done several times before with good results. What's wrong with a redirect here? Friday (talk) 05:02, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

The deletion notice states "do not remove whilst discussion is in progress". Your redirect did that. If you do this regularly - even if it might be the best outcome - I recommend you cease doing so. Thanks, --Cyberjunkie | Talk 05:07, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to Britney Spears per precedent. Also, even if the kid was born, he wouldn't have done anything to warrant his own article. Generally, very young kids are bad article topics as there's nothing they've done to describe and fill the article with. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:23, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Could probably safely go into Britney's article, but if there was a little more info I think a separate article would be reasonable. Everyking 12:58, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Britney Spears. There is no reason a baby who has done nothing other than soil himself and suckle the teat needs his own Wiki article. --Isotope23 16:36, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Has his mother done anything much more productive than that? Redirect, disagreeing with Everyking and Pacian. What encyclopedic content could develop in the next five years? Redirect Kurt's kid's article, too. Barno 19:59, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• KEEP: This happens every time a celebrity child is entered and the argument goes on and on. People keep referring to a precedent, but there is none. Frances Bean Cobain has accomplished nothing but her entry was maintained and as new information is available it grows. There's no reason to delete this article now because there is no doubt in my mind that eventually it will be put back up with content. Pacian 19:25, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect per above. Previous sins are no excuse for continued encyclopedic perdition. Per Barno, someone should nominate the Cobain for AfD. Dottore So 20:31, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

That article was already put to a vote a year ago and the vote was OVERWHELMINGLY to keep the article. And so far thanks to your bullying need to make everyone see things your way, ALL of the votes for your current nomination to delete that article are also to KEEP. Pacian 03:11, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect. Infants aren't notable unless they're royalty or something like that. — Phil Welch 21:38, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect, but restore article if it grows. Andrew pmk | Talk 23:48, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• redirect, wikipedia is not 9last time I checked) a geneology database. And let me add. poor poor child. Sabine's Sunbird 04:53, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• delete being the son of a pop star is not criteria for inclusion. --Revolución (talk) 05:08, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Britney Spears. *drew 08:02, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Britney Spears. The baby's article doesn't currently have any content not already contained in his mother's, and it will be years before any news involving Sean could occur that wouldn't be more appropriately included in Britney's article. --DavidK93 19:46, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect until and unless the kid goes on to become notable in his own right. --Icarus 04:18, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect, same reason as above. -- PFHLai 07:44, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Scout Willis for precedent. {{subject}} is the child of {{famous person 1}} and {{famous person 2}}. Other than that, this person is not notable. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 07:56, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, Kevin Federline also has accomplished nothing on his own and he has an article, Expand as new information is given. Google brings up 126,000 links, there seems to be enough intrest for an atricle.Mac Domhnaill 21:07, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect or delete', nn. -Sean Curtin 00:35, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for not being notable. Tuf-Kat 05:17, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete being born is not notable unless they're born unto a god and I haven't seen any headlines about Britney Spears smiting anyone. This would also be different if they were next in line for some royal throne but as it is, delete. Dismas|^(talk) 05:59, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Britney Spears smiting people! Gosh, you're going to give me nightmares! :)--Cyberjunkie | Talk 06:16, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

"Oops, I Smited Again" --Calton | Talk 06:52, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Baby, smite me one more time! Just one more! Tuf-Kat 07:32, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect. It's Britney Spears's baby: what the hell else can be said of any importance? --Calton | Talk 06:52, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
