[edit] Dani DeLay Ferro

Dani DeLay Ferro (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Not notable. Gained brief fame when she jumped into a Las Vegas hot tub with a lobbyist or two, which isn't mentioned in the text but in a citation instead. The article is basically a press release for her (possible copy-and-paste?). Notability is not inherited from her famous father, Tom DeLay, despite her sometime role as his campaign manager. Sources cited either are primary, mention her only in passing, or don't mention her at all. Doubtful that notability can be proved to WP standards. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 21:43, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

• Merge/Redirect into Tom DeLay. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 01:16, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep -- Ferro deserves coverage in her own right for actions she took on her own. She received "unusually generous" compensation -- several hundred thousand dollars -- for managing a charity that accepted donation from DeLay's supporters, in return for their attendance at an event where they would have access to DeLay. The managers of this charity could not fulfill the requirement for registering as a charity in New York State because they could not prove the charity had ever spent any funds on actual charitable projects. In addition the lady has written a book. Children of prominent people who publish books merit coverage, without regard to whether the book is about the famous parent. Agreed, the article, as it stands now, requires some work. But, I remind participants that the decision to keep or delete an article is supposed to be based on the potential of the topic, not on the current status of the article.
