[edit] Sean Preston Federline

Baby has done nothing notable, except being born to Britney Spears and that guy. I don't think this child warrants his own article. - orioneight (talk) 17:32, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

• Merge/redirect to Britney Spears. Joyous | Talk 17:32, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Child is already discussed at Britney Spears. Do we really need this as a redirect? - orioneight (talk) 17:37, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Why not? Someone reads the kid's name in a magazine, searches for it here. Wouldn't it be preferable to get sent to Britney's article, rather than getting a blank page? Joyous | Talk 17:43, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Eh, you're right. I'm probably just a little frustrated that their are so many biographies of noteworthy, deserving figures, whose articles are in such poor shape, and yet we have editors who think that a two-month-old baby deserves his own encyclopedia article. Look at the Britney Spears article, and then compare with people such as Pierre Curie or Howard Percy Robertson. I think sometimes that efforts here are a little misdirected, and its sad that a two-month-old baby——who has done nothing but crap his diaper——should need his own redirect, because that's the kind of information people today are looking for. *sigh* - orioneight (talk) 21:42, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to Britney Spears, with a merge if there is fresh information. Redirects are both cheap and useful, as noted by Joyous. Sliggy 18:40, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete on principle, but if I'm the only one who feels this way, I'll gladly make the redirect myself. - orioneight (talk) 21:42, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Britney Spears. Capitalistroadster 22:50, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect, but I'm wondering if it should go to Kevin Federline instead of Britney Spears. Britney is notable for many things; for Kev, the baby is about it. Jtmichcock 03:49, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The baby is famous. Achievements are irrelevant; fame is what matters. This is a flaw in some people's understanding of the idea of notability, I think. People can attach importance to individuals whether they have actually done anything or not. And that importance is what matters. Everyking 05:09, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Question: Wasn't this issue already settled at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sean Federline? Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:12, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't think so. The article back then had basically no content except to state his birthday and parents. And furthermore he had just been born. Notice my vote back then is different from the one I'm making now: back then a cautious "merge", now a firm "keep". Everyking 05:18, 11 December 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) 05:16, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect - like Lourdes Ciccone and Brooklyn Beckham. chocolateboy 17:40, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Britney Spears. While you'rs at it, redirect Kevin Federline to Britney Spears or rename his article Mr. Britney Spears since he is no more notable than his offspring. -- DS1953 06:23, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and create redirect, and don't bother merging, as not much is here. Merging for the first article on the baby is fine, but I don't see a need to merge another one. This article says nothing new and signficant about the baby specifically that wasn't previously said in the first article, and already put in Britney Spears. --Rob 09:02, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
