[edit] Ann Romney

This article has notability deficiency syndrome. CDN99 21:29, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:BIO. [1]. If someone shows that she brings more to the table I might reconsider. PJM 21:50, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Expand. There should be enough verifiable information on a state first lady out there. For example, The Boston Globe in 1994 had a story titled "ANN ROMNEY'S SWEETHEART DEAL SHE DECIDED HER LOVE OF 30 YEARS SHOULD BE SENATOR." (Caps in original.) Sounds interesting. -- Mwalcoff 23:58, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment. The following is from Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion:

Unremarkable people. An article about a real person or persons that does not assert their importance or significance. If the assertion is disputed or controversial, it should be taken to AFD instead.

I believe the article in question assumes that being married to a governor makes Mrs. Romney notable. You can agree or disagree with that, but you can't say that the article doesn't assert her importance. You should vote regular delete, IMO. -- Mwalcoff 01:49, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. I see no reason why an article on the first lady of an important state would be deleted. It should rather be expanded. --SeekingOne 01:25, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Wife of sitting governor. The problem isn't notability, the problem is that it is a stub. I refer you to TODAY's issue of the Boston Globe which reports that Governor Romney said that he would leave politics if his wife became sicker.
