[edit] Hailie Jade Scott

Being the child of a celebrity does not confer notability. JoshuaZ 03:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• I disagree strongly - considering she's featured in some of his (Eminem's) songs and videos, surely it's not a bad thing that an article on her exists. I thought that the idea of Wikipedia was to provide people with as much information on everything as possible - there's hardly anything wrong with this article. Also, people such as Frances Bean Cobain have very decent articles as well.

I think that this article should be kept - as I say, there's nothing much wrong with it, and it's definitely NOT valid for deletion.

• Strong Keep - Anyone who has listened to a full album of Eminem's has heard him talk about his daughter. If anything, this article should be expanded. --Daniel Olsen 06:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Article was previously smerged from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hailie Jade into Eminem. --Dhartung | Talk 07:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete — or merge with Eminem Martinp23 10:13, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge back to Eminem. Notable people's kids get merged to the notable person as was the case with the Beckhams and the Jolie-Pitts. MLA 12:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

To be fair, the Jolie-Pitts haven't really had any coverage other than being held by their beaming parents... Dev920 14:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• Merge to Eminem per MLA. Being mentioned on an Eminem is not one of the WP:BIO criteria for having an article.--Isotope23 14:38, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep She has been the centre of the high profile custody case between eminem and his wife, and is regularly mentioned in his work. Dev920 14:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep for being both a celebrity child and a key theme in a major celebrity's work. Unlike the Jolie-Pitt baby, for instance, she has been notable for reasons other than being born, such as the custody case mentioned above. If you want to talk about her inclusion as a sort of musical McGuffin, Dani (Red Hot Chili Peppers) has a page despite being referred to less than Hailie, and Eminem is probably as well-known as Red Hot Chili Peppers.

• Merge Deserves a paragraph in Eminem. Only can be rewritten if becoming INDEPENDANTLY notable.--Ed^{talk c E} 16:40, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into Eminem and devote a section or paragraph to her. will381796 16:56, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect. per above. ThuranX 02:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect. She has been at the center of a custody battle, but not based on her own actions. Dad's the one making the headlines. Fan-1967 02:30, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Eminem - she's not notable, her father is. Vashti 03:15, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to the Eminem article. Get it over with. RFerreira 07:37, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as per Hallie Jade. Nothing has changed since the last vote. Custody battles do not confer notability. If Eminem continues creating notable works inspired by her, fine. We can list the works. I don't think she should qualify, yet. Ohconfucius 08:18, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep, don't merge. Famous child of a highly well known musician, and the subject of a number of his works. --badlydrawnjeff talk 10:52, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment She is only famous because she is Eminem's daughter. Other than this, she is not notable. And because her notability, at this point, is directly due to Eminem's actions, she should not have her own article and a merge into Eminem is the best course of action. will381796 04:09, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

• I disagree. I don't think a merge is the best course of action. --badlydrawnjeff talk 04:12, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

• Merge and Redirect per above points. --WillMak050389 04:15, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep; I agree a celebrity child does not deserve their own article for being a celebrity's child. However, a similar case was made for Frances Bean Cobain, and was voted to be kept. That girl is neither more notable than Hailie is, but to quote M A Mason on that vote, "[t]he fact that people want information about her makes her a noteworthy entry, in my view."

• Frances Cobain, from what I read of that article, is at least living "under" her father's name in that she is actively engaging in interviews, etc. with magazines, if that makes any sense. She, herself, is deciding to use her father's notability and using it to enter the public eye. Haile, as far as I can tell, is not in the public eye except when mentioned in her father's songs, as a result of her father writing the lyrics, because he loves her and is a caring father. Haile isn't going out and giving interviews on Eminem or how his rapper lifestyle has affected her. She is only 10! Giving every celebrity's child an article based soley on their parents fame would begin a sad precedence. But I've only been really active on Wikipedia these past 3 days. Maybe the precedent already exists...will381796 05:49, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

• No, the precedent is quite the opposite. Celebrity children are generally deleted or merged with their parents. JoshuaZ 03:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
