[edit] Elias Disney

For a related discussion see Kepple Disney (AfD discussion).

Father of Walt and Roy Disney. Other than his famous offspring, he himself is not notable. —tregoweth (talk) 23:32, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keepbut involve more information. Include the influence Elias had on Walt's future (Disney World) due to Elias's involvement in the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.
• Keep but tag for cleanup. I'd say Walt Disney's father was notable, but the article needs to cite its sources. --DaveG12345 23:44, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Father of Walt Disney notable enough IMO. Agree with DaveG, need source citations. snug 00:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: So all parents of famous people qualify for articles? —tregoweth (talk) 15:24, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I think parents (and children) of sufficiently famous people do qualify. Walt Disney is pretty famous, really, Giga-famous. snug 02:41, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination. The article doesn't even say what his occupation was after 1911. --Metropolitan90 01:48, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Hence tag for cleanup? --DaveG12345 02:54, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Being the father of a notable figure doesn't make you notable unless you yourself did something else noteworthy. --Coredesat 09:53, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete Relatives of famous people are not inherently notable Bwithh 18:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. If we accept the premise that notable people's fathers are also notable in their own right, then surely Elias Disney's father is also notable, as is *his* father and so on. Markb 11:50, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Coredesat. If people were noteworthy just for having kids.... Inner Earth 13:33, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. definitely seems important. --JJay 22:23, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, he had a very noteworthy child. Seems relevant for a keep. JohnnyBGood t c VIVA! 23:26, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, interesting information, but sources should be provided. Yamaguchi先生 07:05, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
