[edit] Frances Bean Cobain

Kurt Cobain's kid isn't notable. -- Phil Welch 21:40, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Certainly some of the information in the article doesn't appear to be notable, but it's clearly a recognizable name (with almost 100,000 results on Google, this page being the #2 link), and this article serves as a useful reference to anyone looking for actual information on her. See also the September 2004 VfD for this article. Sarge Baldy 21:49, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. No, she hasnt found a cure for cancer or anything like that, but people do search for her and look for information about her. The fact that people want information about her makes her a noteworthy entry, in my view. Furthermore, as she is getting older in years she is getting more and more into the public eye and becoming more involved with the media - see that magazine article - there will be more to add in the future and she will become more noteworthy as time goes on.

• Keep. Notable enough --Icarus 22:46, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep. Notable based on relationship *and* appearance in press. --rob 23:58, 16 September 2005 (UTC) This is a speedy keep, since it was a bad faith nomination, and the matter has already been settled (which I didn't realize at first). We can't have articles on permanent AFD notice. Also, we have to be free to cite precidents without fear that an article will be deleted in retaliation. The fact the nominator failed to mention their *actual* reasons for the nomination or the prior AFD decision makes the nomination invalid. --rob 04:08, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The ONLY reason this article has been re-nominated for deletion is because the article for Britney Spear's child was recently nominated, and I made a point in my vote there to reference the fact that this article is still here. The people from that discussion then came here and renominated this one to try and make a point. It has already been voted by the community at large that this page should be kept, and I think this VFD tag should be removed speedily to show users they can't go around bullying users into seeing things their way.

• Keep. And, yes, it's possible that this nomination was a WP:POINT. Friday (talk) 03:17, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• keep please she is famous and notable and her parents are too Yuckfoo 07:21, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, nominating a 13-year old and a baby for the same reason isn't quite right. Frances has received press attention from something she's done rather than being born. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:58, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, she's received press coverage and has celeb status in part for her own actions Reboot
• Delete. Minimal press coverage which, according to the article, is based largely on the fame of her late father. Completely non-notable other than as a celebrity child. / Peter ^Isotalo 01:17, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. There is obvious interest in her and the issue over custody is noteworthy. Capitalistroadster 07:19, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - I feel sorry for this poor kid getting the wrong kind of attention, but her role in Cobain & Love's life is important. She hasn't done anything notable yet, but neither have many monarchs! --MacRusgail 20:27, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. She has established a degree of notability, and this nomination was based on the debate over keeping an article about Britney Spears' baby. ErikNY 16:39, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The page collects a variet of spurious sources and people do and will want to know about Frances in years to come as if I'm right, I'm guessing she's going to be quite famous. colderclimate
